Polyjuice Potion (lentil soup): 5th grade reading group exercise
In Chamber of Secrets, Hermione tells Ron and Harry about Polyjuice Potion: “It transforms you into somebody else. Think about it! We could change into three of the Slytherins. No one would know it was us.”
When a few fifth-graders attended a Harry Potter reading group with me, we discussed the notion of understanding how it feels to be in someone else’s skin, especially someone you don’t know wel

The production of this book is almost too much, in the best way. Lavish. Inclusion of challah in Jacob's business proposal seems to confirm that he is also Jewish. Tina's ID card has her fingerprints, Dextera and Sinistra! There are wallpaper swatche

| I read this series for the irresistible Jonathan Darcy, but was impressed that Claudia Gray tackled the complicated character of Charlotte Collins in this one. | |

| The premise of the book had me laughing aloud. Of course everybody at the party would have wanted to kill this odious character! The characterizations were deeply satisfying to me and I was enchanted by the exploration of Mr. Darcy and his son as aut ...more | |

| I'd give it more stars if I could. I did not know history could be studied like this. William Freeman didn't leave any written records but Bernstein cross-checks countless historical sources and retraces his actual steps to put together events that t ...more | |
"Okay - this book has left me speechless, but I will try. This is going to be a long and personal review. I would recommend everyone read this book.
Someone else said this book feels like a book for trans people, rather than a book to explain transness" Read more of this review » |

| A friend sent me this book and I started slowly because I was afraid it would hurt too much to read. But it was less painful than I feared, there was kindness in it, and by the time I was halfway through, I wanted to just keep reading. The tour guide ...more | |
"Pretty funny in an ironic way that Ishmael Reed wrote a bad play full of good politics about a good musical full of bad politics."

"This is a very bad play and a very excellent critique of Hamilton"

“It is no wonder that Snape is feeling the strain of being the only one who can help Draco, the only one who can fight some forms of Dark Magic, the only one who can retain Voldemort’s trust while taking his place at Dumbledore’s right hand. In some ways, it’s a bit similar to being the Chosen One, although Harry gets credit for his sacrifices and the blessing of a clean conscience. Snape’s job depends upon his guilty past and upon the secrecy that ensures his sacrifices will never be seen.”

“Look at me. With those words, Rowling completes the incantation for the stupendous magic she has cast over seven books with her creation of Severus Snape. Everything about Snape is contained in those three words. The spy who longed for nothing more than to be seen. The double agent who killed the mentor who was the last person to see his true self. The ugly boy who grew up into a man so ugly that students couldn’t look upon him without revulsion. The master of Occlumency who was sealed shut so tightly, his eyes looked dead. The Master of Death who didn’t need a cloak to be invisible, completing his second chance at life, removing his disguise and meeting Death as a friend.”

“Draco cast Expelliarmus. He could have, should have, attacked, but he disarmed, instead, and then attacked no further. The effort Snape has poured into this boy for the past six years has been worth it. He will not split his soul by killing. Covertly, against the efforts of Lucius, Bellatrix, and Voldemort, Snape has taught Draco non-aggression. He has fulfilled two of his three vows to Narcissa: he has watched over Draco and protected him from harm.”
