Today I will write about Harry Potter's new short story. Harry Porter saga has an important role in reading at school.
The seven-book Harry Potter saga which recounts the early life of a downtrodden boy who finds out he's a wizard, has sold more than 400 million.

Education:
The saga recreated youth literature. Students loved so much the novels in the 90's that teachers quickly understood that the best option was include Harry Potter books in school curriculum to motivate a new generation of young readers in Languages curriculum.

The last time I wrote about Harry Potter saga was in June 2011 Reading Harry Potter on web 2.0 and July 2011 Reading Harry Potter : what now? My usual readers remember it.
We all were convinced, after seven years that the story was finished. Suddenly, J.K. Rowling created Pottermore to keep the Pottermania alive. Time to time some news were published but nothing so important.

Meanwhile Rowling announced she was writing the screenplays for a series of films based on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), her 2001 book set in the Harry Potter universe.
In March, we learned the series would be a trilogy - void of prequels or sequels - initially set in New York roughly seven decades before Harry Potter's saga starts.
Suddenly, last week, Rowling published a new short story with updates on the lives of the main characters of the past seven books on her fan site Pottermore.com. Harry Potter fans are so excited! What a pleasant surprise!

Inspired on World Cup, Skeeter, who is supposed to be reporting on the Quidditch finals, devotes her article to the arrival of Dumbledore's Army's original six members (along with countless other DA members) arriving at the tournament. Among them is a 34-year-old Harry Potter who has "a couple of threads of silver in the famous Auror's hair."

The 1,500-word tale is written in the style of a newspaper column. The article reports that Harry took his sons James and Albus to visit the world cup compound "where he introduced them to Bulgarian seeker Victor Krum" and their mother, Ginny who is reporting on the matches.
Quidditch is the fictional game played on broomsticks that features in Rowling's Harry Potter novels.

Dumbledore’s Army Reunites at Quidditch World Cup Final
By the Daily Prophet’s Gossip Correspondent, Rita Skeeter
"There are celebrities – and then there are celebrities. We’ve seen many a famous face from the wizarding world grace the stands here in the Patagonian Desert – Ministers and Presidents, Celestina Warbeck, controversial American wizarding band The Bent-Winged Snitches – all have caused flurries of excitement, with crowd members scrambling for autographs and even casting Bridging Charms to reach the VIP boxes over the heads of the crowd.
(...)
The Potter family and the rest of Dumbledore’s Army have been given accommodation in the VIP section of the campsite, which is protected by heavy charms and patrolled by Security Warlocks. Their presence has ensured large crowds along the cordoned area, all hoping for a glimpse of their heroes. At 3pm today they got their wish when, to the accompaniment of loud screams, Potter took his young sons James and Albus to visit the players’ compound, where he introduced them to Bulgarian Seeker Viktor Krum.

The fictional new story is set at the Quidditch World Cup, but more importantly, it hints at more Harry Potter stories (and scandals) to come.
On Friday, July 11 the final of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup took place.
Pottermore users had the opportunity to follow Ginny Potter and Rita Skeeter’s live updates from the Patagonian Desert, both here on the Insider and in the Daily Prophet offices on pottermore.com.
Quidditch World Cup
Brazil vs Bulgaria
"The stadium is full and the noise is deafening. We await the arrival of both team’s mascots, who will put on a pre-match show. The Bulgarians, of course, bring their celebrated dancing troupe of Veelas, which constitutes a major reason for the team’s popularity, at least with men. Brazil’s Curupiras have already caused a great deal of mischief so far this tournament but are similarly popular, mostly with children. Security wizards stand by all around the perimeter in case of trouble.
While we wait for the opening performance, let’s remind ourselves what these teams look like and compare some key statistics." (...)

Digital reading:
Reading is one of most important skills that we have to teach and develop in School education, no matter the age of students or the level we teaching.
Students will return to school later this summer. They would like to discuss with you the new Harry Porter short novel with updates they read online on Pottermore.
Why not surprising them and have some reading activities on Quidditch World Cup ? Teachers will be glad to read the Quidditch World Cup in Languages lessons. And students will read online with a feeling of great pleasure. Just delighted.
Now you know why I am writing again about Harry Potter ! Aim ? Reading in school education ! No matter the resource - paper or digital reading - the approach - formal learning and informal learning - we will stimulate new readers, and captivate poor readers among our students.
They would to know Harry Potter about to turn 34, Hermione and Ron all together as good friends.
In the 90's, Harry Potter was the first saga that contained a suitable number of pages and a good story to captivate young students really absorbed into a book.
Diversity in children and adolescents' books had long been a complex issue. Since there, despite good efforts and some big strides forward in the years before, children's books remained disappointingly short of enough culturally diverse stories.
So this is about some very well-known books. It made a change to the sort of books educators normally read in the classroom.
Harry Potter books and now the Quidditch World Cup contain some gothic elements, such as an atmosphere of mystery and suspense, some inexplicable events, supernatural creatures and occurrences such as prophecies and visions. Teens love it! Three larger-than-life characters cannot have a place in a conventional realistic novel, but they have it.

The Quidditch World Cup Final
originally published on Pottermore
During 14 years, since the first Harry Potter book captured our imaginations - students imagination and mine - the classes have been involved in incredible projects and wonderful reading and creative writing activities.
There are merits of reading on a screen versus in print. Both are magnificent.
Of course comprehension may suffer when students read on the digital devices but teachers will be supportive preparing comprehension activities and will pay attention to be sure of the best digital reading.
Working with some students with learning disabilities, I have found that audio coupled with the text has been a vast improvement over just one or the other.
"We have to move into the 21st century, but we should do so with great care to build a 'bi-literate' brain that has the circuitry for 'deep reading' skills, and at the same time is adept with technology,"
Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tufts University in Medford, Mass
Digital technology has a pivotal place in how students study and socialize. Digital devices are a central part of school life now.
