HaR History of Magic Part 2 - Quidditch Cape

History of Magic

Professor Binns has finally realized he is a ghost, and promptly decided he should retire to do all the things he never did when he was alive. So- it is my privilege to take over for him as the History of Magic professor. As such- I will focus on the APPLIED approach, as to not bore my students into a snoring stupor. :D

APPLIED History of Magic Syllabus

As I KNOW I’m not the only teacher giving homework- I have decided to approach HoM as a gradual course.

Each term, we will study ONE topic in depth. Students will have two projects (and one optional extra credit projects) to complete. Since Quidditch is so popular- the first term will be devoted to this popular subject.

Due dates and points:

• The second project is due by the end of class. It will be worth 15 points.

SHOULD you not be able to complete the projects by the end of class- you may complete them and turn them in before the end of the TERM for reduced points.

Project Two: Quidditch Capes
ANY cape/shawl/capelet pattern will do.

Each project may be made in House colors, or in your favorite professional quidditch team colors.

Assignment #2

Quidditch cape in Ravenclaw Blue also as a gift

HaR House Challenge - September 2009

There will be a variety of House Colors projects to choose from - hats, mittens / mitts / gloves, and/or socks.

Use ANY pattern - as long as the finished object is in House colors.

Use ANY House’s colors based on what is in your stash (or need for gifts).

Multiple projects allowed, including the same type of item (e.g. 2 hats, 3 pairs of mitts, etc.)

And completed a Ravenclaw Beanie for my husband for the September Challenge :D

> Salazar Slytherin's Locket] was originally owned by Salazar Slytherin and became an heirloom of his family. It was a locket of heavy gold with a serpentine S in glittery green stone inlay on the front. In 1997, Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter ventured to the seaside cave where Voldemort had hidden his locket. They were fairly certain that a Horcrux was hidden in the cave. Through great personal injury, Dumbledore successfully retrieved the fake locket Black and Kreacher had left.
