Ravenclaw House

For my remix idea, I was originally thinking of writing a fan fiction story but decided on something a little more exciting (because my fanfic was pretty basic). I am going to make a potions book. I was thinking of calling it “Potions for the everyday muggle” or something along those lines. I thought it would be cool to do something interactive with the class so I came up with a few ideas. I could make polyjuice potion in front of the class and then pass it out so everyone could have some, Or I found this neat idea on Pinterest about a fortune telling potion in the picture attached. What do you guys think? Should I do something like this? and if so, what would be a cool thing to involve the class?

For the remix, I’m thinking about doing a fashion/women’s magazine for witches (like Seventeen or Cosmo or something). I’ll design a front cover and maybe one or two of the spreads from inside the issue and talk about what else I would put in the magazine. I think it’ll be a fun and creative way to explore the wizarding world a little more!

My remix idea is to recreate Mrs. Figg’s album filled with pictures of her cats (or kneazles, if you prefer to call them that). Because the first book implies that when Harry is stuck at her house he’s stuck looking through the album all day, there are likely going to be a lot of cats, and I’m going to incorporate naming conventions similar to the cats she canonically has named (such as Mr. Tibbles or Tufty) and also work in some descriptions for personalities of the cats, because as any cat owner knows, there’s always a story with each cat.

My remix idea would be a flash fiction of sorts. I would call it more of a character study on Lily Potter. I’m trying to decide whether I want to do her years in Hogwarts. I feel like the reader never gets enough of Lily in school only in Snape’s memories. Another idea I may do is Lily Potter’s final moments before she is killed.

My first idea was to do a collage, because I enjoy doing them and could have fun. Thinking about it in class I feel that may not be ambitious enough. I had a couple ideas whirling about in my head, but none that I could fully be on board with. Im still brainstorming. I could do the collage, but I would like to shoot for something more if I could.

So I’m going to write a piece of fan fiction about how Bellatrix became all demented and evil.

Ginny will use oclemency when Bellatrix and Molly are battling to look into Bellatrix’s past and see that it was her upbringing and social surroundings that warped her into the evil person she is today. I plan on having a semi-abusive father, and peer pressure from those who later became death eaters play a large role in shaping Bellatrix into a cruel person, showing that becoming evil isn’t necessarily inherent, but can be the result of a twisted past.

Thoughts?
