Invent fantastic beasts, explore the history of magic and write letters from Charlie Weasley in this creative set of lesson activities from Carey Fluker Hunt.

There’s plenty of ideas for discussion too, such as considering what it means to ‘belong’, and art ties in with literacy when children create a collage of themselves wearing a sorting hat and invent their own Hogwarts House.

Children will even be inspired to write their own poems after a ‘flying’ session in the classroom.
