Question

What should we do at the first meeting?

Community Answer

You could start by having everyone introduce themselves and share their favorite books, movies, characters, and spells from the series. You could also get some Harry Potter themed snacks like chocolate frogs or jellybeans. If you have the time, you could also watch the first movie.

You find friends who are interested in Harry Potter, get help from adults who also love Harry Potter (or love you enough to pretend to) and do the rest of the things in the article the best you can.

Question

Do I have to do all of the steps?

Community Answer

No, you can make your own club the way you want it. Perhaps you hate the movies; in such a case, you wouldn't have to watch them. Your club can just be a few of your closest friends talking and quizzing each other about Harry Potter.

Question

What if my parents don't let me start a fan club?

Community Answer

If your parents do not want you to start a fan club, try to convince them to let you. Ask them the reasons they don't want you to start one, and try to argue (politely) against these reasons. Try to come up with some positive aspects of the fan club to convince your parents (it encourages reading, it will help you make new friends, etc.).

Is butter beer really beer?

No. It's a butterscotch flavored non-alcoholic drink. I believe that it is usually served warm with whipped cream on top.

Question

What games and activities should we do?

Community Answer

One thing you could do is practice casting spells. You could find a list of the spells in Harry Potter books and use pencils as wands to cast the spells on each other. Another thing you could do is watch the movies then compare them to the books.

Question

Can I do my Harry Potter fan club meetings during school lunchtime?

Community Answer

That depends if you and your friends want to. Sometimes people like eating at home or in the cafeteria, rather than going to a club. However, provided you don't meet too often, then you can suggest they bring their lunch to eat during that hour.

Question

What if people in my club don’t want to do what I planned?

Tiana

Community Answer

Take a deep breath. Don’t argue. Ask what they want to do and vote who agrees with that idea and who doesn’t. If all of the people in your group disagrees with you, you must agree with them. Then always remember that it’s for fun and not to argue.

Start a conversation with them leading up to Harry Potter. Say something normal and then something related to it, like, "I wish I had an orange cat like Hermine Granger." And see how they react, then take it from there.
