Discussion Questions:

After reading "Brush with a Basilisk" starring, and by none other than myself, I have devised the following discussion questions to help facilitate in your discussion of my book. It will also help you to understand some of my other many achievements in the light of this as a case study. As I am sure many students in many wizarding schools will study this text I believe this will be a helpful guide for the teachers in making sure the students understand the concepts. It will also be helpful guide for the students in that they will be able to understand the story better as well.

"Brush with a Basilisk" specific questions:

Question One: If you were in my position how would you have saved the day? Your answer must not correlate with what I actually did, and must include a detailed description of what you would actually have done in the circumstances I faced.

Question Two: In your opinion did Harry Potter's jealousy have any basis? Discuss with references to my many achievements (You will need to read my collected works to answer this question, although "Magical Me" will give you a brief overview).

Question Three: Do you believe that there was anyone else in the school who could have been able to go down into the chamber, slay the beast and the memory and still live? Again references are needed as to why/why not.

Question Four: Having read "Brush with a Basilisk" carefully who did you suspect as the culprit throughout the story and why? Include your reasons/references as to why you believed what you believed.

My achievements specific questions:

Question One: Which of my achievements up to date do you consider to be my greatest? In answering this question you will need to make reference to my other achievements should you pick "Brush with a Basilisk" in order to prove you have indeed read the other books!

Question Two: So far what would you consider my greatest challenge or obstacle in all my achievements? This can't be something like "killing the basilisk" or "banishing the banshee" but has to be a specific challenge I have faced in order to have done what I have done.

Question Three: What would you consider to have been the scariest moment in all my adventures and why (Again this requires a reading of my other works in order to compare)?

Question Four: What honour do you think I should receive for all my vital achievements throughout my life?

Specific questions about me:

Question One: If my hair was not the lovely color that it is, what color do you think would suit me best?

Question Two: What color robes do you think would compliment my good looks the best?

Question Three: If you were to give me a present what would you give me (and please do not answer what I have mentioned as my ideal birthday gift, or greatest wish in any of my novels, it has to be something unique)?

Question Four: Name fifteen different adjectives to describe me. Please try and include different categories, such as looks, achievements, personality rather than confining your answers to all of the same sort of thing.
