harry Potter is the hero of J.K. rowling’s series not only because he’s a powerful wizard but also because he’s brave, loyal to his friends and fights against Voldemort’s evil power. Magical power dramatically changes harry Potter’s life; without magic, the story of an orphan boy’s school days might not be so entertaining. Some of harry’s power, however, comes from sources other than magic. Knowing that his parents loved him enough to die for him, for example, gives harry great strength.harry and his friends receive a very special kind of education that other children, like harry’s cousin Dudley, can’t even begin to imagine. Through magic, harry and his friends ron and hermione can change the world. They can use magic to accomplish the equivalent of scientific marvels — like flying and mixing potions — and they can also use magic to influence the way people treat one another.Magical education at hogwarts gives harry and his friends some of the same advantages that scientific studies offer real-life students. Potions and spells can also affect people’s attitudes and feelings, similar to the way confidence, conflict resolution and speaking skills enable people to get along better.This activity asks students to think about how their time in school — like the time harry spends at hogwarts — offers them opportunities to invent new things, build strong relationships and imagine projects as spectacular as walking in space or building skyscrapers
