Many of the students here at AMHS are huge Harry Potter fans. If you were to ask around, you would find that most of the students at Magnet have probably read the full series. A couple of The Talon’s writers gave us some of their opinions on the books.

Senior Eleni Gaspar firmly believes that the sixth book, The Half-Blood Prince is the best one.  Eleni loves Harry Potter so much that she has actually visited Harry Potter World.

Lilly Schweickherdt’s favorite character is Ron because “he’s funny and a cute ging”.

In addition to the books, the movies are also very popular. Just like the books, they are a great mix of action, adventure, romance, drama, and most importantly- the supernatural!

My favorite movie is The Goblet of Fire because of all the cool scenes involving The Triwizard Tournament, where we see Hogwarts wizards compete with two other wizard schools- Beaubatons and Durmstrang.

Last year, one of our spirit week theme days was Harry Potter day, where each grade dressed as a different Hogwarts House.  With capes, wands, and sharpie-drawn lightning bolt scars, the Magnet student body went all out.

As seen below, we even had a quiditch match in the football field at lunch.
