When searching for an organization
to participate in there weren’t that many that appealed to me. A lot of the
clubs cost money for equipment and other necessities. One of the clubs that I was
interested in was the Harry Potter club. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I
wasn’t sure what the people were going to be like and what types of people
participated in the Harry Potter club. After going just one time I could tell
that everyone was extremely nice but some of them were really nerdy. Overall I like
Harry Potter but I was definitely out of my element with some of the people
that belonged to the club. They all knew WAY more about it than I did.
One of the times I went to the club
they did a trivia game. The game was fun but I didn’t know much. I think I was
only able to answer a few questions if even that. I wasn’t very good at the
game and my team probably wished I was on a different team. The trivia night
was a lot of fun but I think my favorite day was watching people play quidditch.
Although it was fun to watch everyone in Regents Park it probably would have
been even more fun playing. Everyone was running around on broomsticks chasing
the snitch. The snitch just ended up being someone dressed up, running from
everyone else. I thought it was really
interesting how the whole game is set up for “muggles.” Even though everyone
looks silly running around with broomsticks everyone is having a great time.
Another one of my favorite things
we did in Harry Potter club was have a potion making class and we also made
butter beer. I kind of felt like I was a kid again playing with chemistry set. While
we were making the potions we also got wands and we got to wear caps like they
actually do. I didn’t really know what I was doing the whole time but it was
still interesting coming up with my own potion. My favorite part was having the
wand and casting fake spells on people around me, even though I had no idea
with they meant. The butter beer that we
had was really good as well. After making butter beer I really got a chance to
talk to some of the other British students that were in the club. There were
some interesting people that I met. They were all really obsessed with Harry
Potter and half of the time I had no idea what they were talking about. It always
made for an interesting conversation.
So even though half the time I wasn’t
sure what was going on and I never really knew what I was doing, being a part
of the Harry Potter club was a good decision. I met a good amount of people
that I never would have talked to if I hadn’t joined.
