=Introduction= We're all familiar with Harry Potter's heroics throughout his first eventful year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We know his encounter with the baby dragon Norbert, his first flight on a broomstick, his victory against a deadly troll, and his adventure beyond the trapdoor guarded by the ferocious Fluffy. But now, the time has come to ask this question: while Harry, Ron, and Hermione were running around hunting for the elusive Sorcerer's Stone... what exactly was everyone else doing?

=Task= Congratulations! This is your opportunity to be featured in the next __Harry Potter__ film! Acclaimed author J. K. Rowling has agreed to have her epic, magical story told from a totally different perspective: through the eye of a minor character! She and the filmmakers believe that the viewers will garner a better, or at least unique and intriguing, understanding of Hogwarts' symbolism, metaphor, and conflict if it is told through the eyes of someone other than Harry himself. It is up to you to write the script for this new film and portray the different characters! Using iMovie, you will present specific scenes from the novel in ways that no one has ever seen before! All aboard the Hogwarts Express! Next stop: excitement!

=Conclusion= Great job, everyone! Your skit is being considered by the filmmakers for this exciting new film. Hopefully, observing the main plot from a totally new perspective has opened all of your eyes a little to the deeper meaning and the more complex messages that J. K. Rowling tried to translate through her writing. You have now discovered that every character in the novel carries his or her own importance, even if it's not completely obvious at first!
