The Harry Potter series has become the most-read series of books aimed at children in the past 50 years. The series itself has spawned movies, merchandise, and billions of dollars in revenue, capturing the attention of children everywhere. The magic of the books keeps the kids interested and that’s why using Harry Potter to tie into class activities can make it much easier for teachers to get kids involved. Whether it’s using chapters of one of the books to help kids relate to things, getting them interested in science lessons through involving Snape’s potion class or even just letting the kids play a game or a crossword puzzle, when you add Harry Potter into the mix can be a fun and educational twist on any class.
