Week 1

The two books that I'm using for my project are Muggles and Magic by George Beahm, and Harry, A History by Melissa Anelli.  This week I started reading my first book and set up a reading schedule, and looking online for any articles related to my topic.

Topic of my choice

For my final project I'm thinking of doing something with Harry Potter.  I've already read all 7 books in the series and watched all 5 movies.  One possible aspect of the series that I can do my project on is the cultural phenomenon that the series has had and still has on children, teens and even adults.  Some possible sources that I can use are the movies based on the books and analyze how they attract younger generations.  Another possible source that I already have is the book Muggles and Magic: An Unofficial Guide to J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter Phenomenon.
