The Breakfast Club is a small group of Hogwarts students, who, during the course of a nine-hour Saturday detention, are transformed from complete strangers to confidantes. For each of them, it is an unforgettable day, and, while the friendships they form between 7 am and 4 pm may disintegrate once they get back into the real world, feelings are explored and emotions unearthed that give them insights into their own lives and the forces that drive the others. The characters trapped in detention are all very different individuals. There's the jock, quidditch star Harry Potter; the most popular girl in school, Jolie Fisher; the all-brains, no- brawn geek, Ernie Macmillan; the rebel without a cause, Draco Malfoy; and the outcast, Meredith Reynolds. It turns out that none of them communicates well with their parents, all are under tremendous pressure from their peers, and each is beset by angst about the future.
