 * Congratulations! This is your opportunity to be featured in the next __Harry Potter__ film! Acclaimed author J. K. Rowling has agreed to have her epic, magical story told from a totally different perspective: through the eye of a minor character! She and the filmmakers believe that the viewers will garner a better, or at least unique and intriguing, understanding of Hogwarts' symbolism, metaphor, and conflict if it is told through the eyes of someone other than Harry himself. It is up to you to write the script for this new film and portray the different characters! Using iMovie, you will present specific scenes from the novel in ways that no one has ever seen before! All aboard the Hogwarts Express! Next stop: excitement! ||
