Harry Potter Discussion Project/Sign Up

I know this has been done with the sil and lotr, and hopefully the hobbit, but how about if we do it here as well. after all, it could add discussion and interest to the forum, and it would be fun to do. what do you guys think?

so...we will start with the first book, and slowly, but surley, work our way towards book seven. So first off is: who's going to do each chapter? I'm going to do the first chapter (as suggested by durinsbane), and then we can carry on like that. Each chapter must contain a synopsis, however long, and then discussion points to get things moving. Each chapter will last two weeks (or less if neccssary), before we move onto the next one. However, if you want to carry on posting after we've moved on, that's fine.
p.s you can do upto two chapters, if they are closely related for example, or for other reasons eg. 16 and 17 of ps/ss.
note: i'm only going to do the first book first, and then as we get close to the end of that book, we start taking people to do the next chapter. That way, we can plan ahead more in advance in case things come up unexpectidly, and so have to re-assine chapters.

Chapter 1: The boy who lived = jammi567 = sat 17th june
Chapter 2: The vanishing glass = klatukatt (not up, so done by me)= 1st july
Chapter 3: The letters from no one = sun-star = 15th july
Chapter 4: The keeper of the keys = Mithrand1r 29th july
Chapter 5: Diagon Alley = Radagast the brown (not up, so done by serenoli)= 12th august
Chapter 6: The jouney from platform nine and three-quarters = Nurvingiel = 26th august > 9th September
Chapter 7: The sorting hat = durinsbane = 9th september > 23rd september
Chapter 8: The potions master = ireth = 23rd september > 7th october
Chapter 9: The midnight duel = serenoli = 7th october > 21st october
Chapter 10: Halloween = serenoli = 21st october
Chapter 11: Quidditch = Nurvingiel = 4th november
Chapter 12: The mirror of erised = durinsbane = 18th november
Chapter 13: Nicolas Flamel = Radagast the brown = 2nd december
Chapter 14: Norbet the norwegian ridgeback = klatukatt = 16th december
Chapter 15: The forbidden forest = jammi567 = 30th december
Chapter 16: Through the trap door = ireth = 13th january
Chapter 17: The man with two faces = Maranwe = 27th january

Just post what chapters you want to do on here, so everyone can see it.

I have slightly altered the title of this thread and stuck it to the top of the forum.

Please plan the project with your suggestions and volunteer here for chapter assignments.

Jammy, can you add the names of the chapters not only their numbers? That way it would be easier to choose, there'll be no need to check in the book...

I think I'll go for:
Chapter 5: Diagon Alley
Chapter 13: Nicolas Flamel

Unless too many people want chapters, then you can delete me from one of them.

I thought I would post the first post in how we organized the project for the Silmarillion, so that you could use it as a guide if you like in organizing this project. We placed due dates for our chapter intros. Sometimes people were not able to get them up in time, or we had to re-assign chapters for one reason or another.

Amyway, I just thought this would be handy for you all to follow.

From the Silmarillion project:

Quote:
The Chapters are:
Ainulindalë: Maedhros
Valaquenta : RĂ*an. Date: December 2, 2002
1. Of the Beginning of Days: Artanis. Date: December 24, 2002
2. Of Aulë and Yavanna: EÀrniel. Date: January 14, 2003
3. Of the coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor: Artanis. Date: February 7, 2003
4. Of Thingol and Melian: Elanor Gamgee. Date: February 28, 2003
5. Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië: re-assigned. azalea.. Date: March 21, 2003
6. Of FĂ«anor and the Unchaining of Melkor: Earniel. Date: April 11, 2003
7. Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor : casseopeia. Date: May 2, 2003
8. Of the Darkening of Valinor: re-assigned, Attalus. Date: May 24, 2003
9. Of the Flight of the Noldor: Diamond of Long Cleave. Date: June 15, 2003
10. Of the Sindar: Elanor Gamgee. Date: July 7, 2003
11. Of the Sun and Moon and the Hiding of Valinor: re-assigned. Maedhros. Date: July 28, 2003
12. Of Men: reassigned. Fat Middle/ Date: August 19, 2003
13. Of the Return of the Noldor: re-assigned: azalea. Date: September 10, 2003.
14. Of Beleriand and its Realms : re-assigned, Maedhros. Date: October 18, 2003
15. Of the Noldor in Beleriand: Attalus. Date: October 24, 2003
16. Of Maeglin: azalea. Date: November 14, 2003
17. Of the Coming of Men into the West: re-assigned, Iluvatar. Date: December 6, 2003
18. Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin: Lefty Scaevola. Date: December 28, 2003

AKALLABÊTH: Wayfarer. Date:May 30, 2004
OF THE RINGS OF POWER AND THE THIRD AGE: Wayfarer. Date: June 21, 2004


Usually chapter discussion last between 2 through 3 weeks to give anyone the opportunity to participate.
Remember, the person who does the intro of a chapter must:
1. Post the Additional Readings regarding that Chapter that are found in HOME.
2. Try to find pics that would help enlighten and broaden the discussion. Ex: maps would be a great addition to the thread in general, pictures depicting landscapes, battles, etc.
