Malfoy uses an offensive term, Mudblood, to address Hermione. How do you feel about people who do this? Why do you think they act this way? What would you say to Malfoy? In Moody"s class, students learn about illegal wizard curses which are abuses of power. Beyond the book, what are some abuses of power that you know of? Is Hermione right to try to liberate the house-elves when they don"t really want to be liberated and are happy as things stand? In this literature guide for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, students are challenged to think more deeply about the enormously popular book by J.K. Rowling. The lightweight 24-page booklet is divided into chapter groupings, with summaries, discussion questions, and activities, including lessons in comprehension and recall, vocabulary, and themes. Cross-curricular activities in social studies, writing, math, science, and more provide opportunities for more comprehensive exploration of the concepts and themes of the book. Reproducible handouts and a colorful teaching poster are included in this engaging guide to a literary phenomenon. (Ages 8 to 11) --Emilie Coulter
