About the class
As mentioned above, this class is about the stories written by J.K. Rowling and published in the book 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard'. The only requirements I have for joining this class are that you are a member of HOL and didn't take Dean's original class. Since the class is basically about storytelling the lessons will be relatively simple with a version of each story included and a few observations made by me or Professor Dumbledore. The assignments will also be quite straightforward and points should be easy to get if you have taken the time to read The Tales.
If you don't already have a copy, I do recommend that you buy the original book so you can read the stories in all their glory. Available from all good (and some not so good) book retailers. No copyright infringements are intended as this class is designed as a bit of fun for members of HOL.org.uk. If you've not signed up for HOL go ahead and do it... lots of friendly and welcoming people there who love Potter just as much as you do! |
About Max
I'm a sixth year Slytherin and this is the fourth class I've taught here on HOL. I first taught BTB in the Spring Term of 2015. My other classes are Mathematics and Marvellous Musical Theatre (Act I, Act II & Act III - stay tuned for Act IV). In real life I'm a maths teacher who lives in England. In my spare time I enjoy reading, musicals and cross stitching. I bought the limited edition of The Tales when it was released and have included some pictures from my own copy to accompany the lessons.
About Dean
Dean was a second year Ravenclaw when he first ran this class as a student teacher. Unfortunately he suffered from a nasty dragon bite the following year and had to spend some time in St Mungo's*. He is now back as a third year and hoping to make it through the rest of his time at school without serious injury.
