4. Read the following summaries and say which book / film they correspond to.

Lord Voldemort has returned to the Wizarding world, presenting a threat that neither the magical government nor the authorities at Hogwarts can stop. In response to his reappearance, Dumbledore reactivates the Order of the Phoenix, a secret society which works to defeat the Dark Lord's minions and protect his targets—especially Harry Potter. But Harry doesn’t want to be protected. (Book .............................................................................................)

Harry is midway through both his training as a wizard and his coming of age. He wants to get away from the malicious Dursleys and go to the Quidditch World Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about his crush, Cho Chang. But even by his standards, Harry's year is anything but normal. First Dumbledore announces the revival of a grand competition that hasn't taken place for one hundred years: the Triwizard Tournament, where a Hogwarts champion will compete against rivals from two other schools of magic in three highly dangerous tasks. Worst of all, Lord Voldemort may finally have gathered the materials necessary for his rejuvenation... and he has a faithful servant at Hogwarts waiting only for a sign. (Book ............................................................................)

The summer after Harry’s first year at Hogwarts has been his worst summer ever… the Dursleys more distant and horrible than ever before. But just as he’s packing his bags to return to school, a creature named Dobby the house-elf announces that if Harry goes back to Hogwarts, disaster will strike. And it turns out, Dobby is right. Harry and Ron miss the Hogwarts Express, so they fly to school in a blue Ford Anglia, crash landing in the notorious Whomping Willow. Soon other worries accumulate: the outrageously stuck-up new professor Gilderoy Lockhart; a ghost named Moaning Myrtle, who haunts the girls' bathroom; the strange behavior of Ron's little sister, Ginny Weasley; rumors about the "Chamber of Secrets," a cavern buried deep below Hogwarts; and a magical diary owned by Tom Riddle, a Hogwarts student of long ago. But all of these seem like minor concerns when someone starts turning Hogwarts students to stone: an evildoer said to be the fearsome Heir of Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of the school. (Book .............................................................................................)

Voldemort takes control of the Ministry of Magic, installs Severus Snape as headmaster at Hogwarts, and sends his Death Eaters across the country to wreak havoc and find Harry. Meanwhile, Harry, Ron, and Hermione embark on a desperate quest the length and breadth of Britain, trying to locate and destroy Voldemort’s four remaining Horcruxes, the magical objects in which he has hidden parts of his broken soul. But every time they solve one mystery, three more evolve—and not just about Voldemort, but about Dumbledore, and Harry’s own past, and three mysterious objects called the Deathly Hallows. It is only after a nigh-unbearable loss that he is brought back to his true purpose, and the trio returns to Hogwarts for the final breathtaking battle between the forces of good and evil. (Book .............................................................................................)

For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort, and might even have assisted in the deaths of James and Lily Potter—Harry Potter’s parents. Now Black has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkaban guards heard him muttering in his sleep, "He’s at Hogwarts... he’s at Hogwarts." (Book .............................................................................................)

Harry, an orphan, lives with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. One day just before his eleventh birthday, an owl tries to deliver a mysterious letter—the first of a sequence of events that end in Harry meeting a giant man named Hagrid. Hagrid explains Harry's history to him: When he was a baby, the Dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, attacked and killed his parents in an attempt to kill Harry. Now he has been invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where the headmaster is the great wizard Albus Dumbledore. On the train, he meets two fellow students who will become his closest friends: Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Harry is assigned to Gryffindor House at Hogwarts, and soon becomes the youngest-ever Seeker on the House Quidditch team. He also studies Potions with Professor Severus Snape, who displays a deep and abiding dislike for Harry, and Defense Against the Dark Arts with nervous Professor Quirrell; he and his friends defeat a mountain troll, help Hagrid raise a dragon, and explore the wonderful, fascinating world of Hogwarts. But all events lead irrevocably toward a second encounter with Lord Voldemort, who seeks an object of legend known as the Sorcerer's Stone… (Book .............................................................................................)

The war against Voldemort has begun. The Wizarding world has split down the middle, and as the casualties mount, the effects even spill over onto the Muggles. Dumbledore is away from Hogwarts for long periods, and the Order of the Phoenix has suffered grievous losses. And yet, as in all wars, life goes on. Dumbledore and Harry work together to uncover the full and complex story of a boy once named Tom Riddle—the boy who became Lord Voldemort. Like Harry, he was the son of one Muggle-born and one Wizarding parent, raised unloved, and a speaker of Parseltongue. But the similarities end there, as the teenaged Riddle became deeply interested in the Dark objects known as Horcruxes: objects in which a wizard can hide part of his soul, if he dares splinter that soul through murder. Finally Harry and Dumbledore hold the key to the Dark Lord’s weaknesses... until a shocking reversal exposes Dumbledore’s own vulnerabilities, and casts Harry’s—and Hogwarts’s—future in shadow. (Book .............................................................................................)

SEQUENCE: HARRY POTTER

1. Description de l’affiche du dernier film.

The document is a colour filmposter about Harry Potter. In the middle of the filmposter, there are the capital letters H and P which refer to Harry Potter. The number 7 corresponds to the number of the book. There are seven books in the Harry Potter sries and so it’s the last film about Harry Potter adventures. There isn’t any title on the filmposter but as the book has already been published; we know that the film is entitled ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’. The last Harry Potter film will be in 2 parts. One part will come out in 2010 and the other one will come out in 2011. At the bottom of the filmposter, there is the Harry Potter website address to get more information about the film or Harry Potter in general. Moviegoers will be able to watch the film in 3D (they’ll have to wear glasses which give them the impression to be in the film / to take part in the film just like the actors).

In the background, there is a huge castle on a rocky mountain which is burning / being destroyed. There is fire all over the place. This castle is Hogwarts, the school of Witchcraft and wizardry. It looks as if a battle is taking place inside the castle. It must be the battle between good and evil / between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. The smoke is darkening the sky. This last film will be a very dark one / hallow one/ The end has begun at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with the death of Professor Dumbledore who was the headmaster of Hogwarts. He was the one who protected and advised Harry Potter and now this latter will have to get it on his own and cope with Voldemort alone. In this last film, Voldemort will chase Harry Potter because he wants to get rid of him because he’s the only one who can defeat him. We already know that Harry Potter will die in this last episode. But he’ll come back to life. This is symbolized by the fact that the sun is rising. A ne wday is to come. Something good will come out of this fight. It’s the end of the story, the end of Voldemort, the end of evil, etc...

3. Webquest sur Harry Potter

4. Fiche ‘Let’s discover Harry Potter’s world’

5. Cartoon ‘The impact of Harry Potter on children’

The document is a black and white drawing which was drawn by Sheratus. It represents a young boy who is reading a Harry Potter book. The scene takes place in a young boy’s bedroom. His bedroom is crammed with techy stuff. There are a huge / unbelievable computer with a printer on top of it. There are a TV and a DVD player / tape recorder. There are a gameboy, a joystick and a baseball ball on his keyboard. There are also a lot of video games about fighting, war and death which suggest that the boy who is reading the book is quite aggressive or likes violence. Yet, he’s totally ignoring all his techy stuff and he’s calmly / peacefully reading his book? He’s so engrossed in the story that he just doesn’t even pay attention to his techy stuff. He’s rather read his book than watch TV / play video games / surf the net which is quite surprising and unusual because young children often dislike reading nowadays and they prefer playint with their techy stuff. The drawer seems to imply that Harry Potter books have the power to make children like reading even though books are quite long. If the story really interests them, they don’t mind reading. It’s true that Harry Potter has been a great phenomenon all around the world and that a lot of young children or teenagers have been eager to read Harry Potter adventures. The drawing seems to prove that books still have an interest for children and that all the techy stuff in the world can’t beat the magical power of Harry Potter’s world.
