Enchanted Objects
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry receives this embarrassing valentine from a singing dwarf:
His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad,
His hair is as dark as a blackboard.
I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord!
If you could enchant an everyday object to give it a special ability or feature, would you? In the space
below, write a short essay identifying the object you’d like to enchant, what magical properties you
would bestow upon it, and what might happen as a result!

Activity 4: Who Have I Transformed into?
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are convinced that Draco Malfoy
is the Heir of Slytherin. To hear him admit this, they drink Polyjuice Potion and pose as Malfoy’s friends,
Crabbe and Goyle.
For this activity, club members will imagine that after taking a sip of Polyjuice Potion, they’ve been
transformed into a character from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!
To find out which character they are supposed to be, club members will have to ask the group a series of
“yes” or “no” questions.
Prepare ahead:
1) Print out one copy of the Who Have I Transformed into? worksheet and cut out the nametags.
2) Photocopy the Who Have I Transformed into? list of character names for club members to reference.
3) Have tape available.
1) Discuss the activity and rules, making sure that everyone understands how to play.
2) Have club members sit in a circle.
3) Use tape to attach a nametag to each club member’s forehead, making sure that no one sees his or her own
nametag.
4) Be prepared to offer hints as needed.
Rules:
1) Randomly decide who goes first.
2) Each player will ask the group up to twenty “yes” or “no” questions (i.e., “Am I a professor?” or “Do I wear
glasses?”) to help them guess the name on their nametag.
3) Allow each player to finish his or her turn before moving on to the next club member.
FEBRUARY BONUS TRIVIA QUESTION:
What did Professor Lockhart bring into his first class?
Answer: Cornish pixies
