🪄 A Simple Harry Potter Writing Activity You Can Try at Home

One of the easiest ways to get children writing without the usual resistance is to start with a character they already care about from Harry Potter.

Try this quick activity 👇

✨ Magical Character Snapshot

Ask your child to choose a character (for example, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Draco, or even a magical creature). Print out a picture.

Then help them complete these sentence starters:

🧙 This character is the kind of person who…

👀 When you first see them, you notice…

🗣️ They often say things like…

💭 Deep down, they worry about…

⭐ Their greatest strength is…

Encourage your child to give specific details, not just “nice” or “brave.” You can ask:

“What does that look like?”

“When have we seen that in the story?”

This helps children move from simple descriptions to more thoughtful, detailed writing, which is a big step forward in school too.

💡 Tip: Keep it short and low-pressure. Even 4 to 5 good sentences is a win.

Then ‘act’ as that character! Get the whole family envolved!

If you try this at home, come back and tell me:

👉 Which character your child chose

👉 Which sentence they found easiest or hardest
