HP in Gym Class

"Now, athletics for everyone," in _The Montreal
Gazette_, (Saturday, August 10, 2002): p. G6.

This year, students at the elementary school were
divided into four houses, just as they were at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the alma
matter of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling's magic hero. 
Hillcrest students participated in physical activities
that could win points in the form of gold galleons.

The high point came in June, when students took part
in a game of Quidditch--the game played in the Potter
books--modified to include a combination of football,
basketball and tennis.

As a result, Hillcrest Academy students didn't just
exercise their bodies.  Encouraged to read Harry
Potter, to consult Taylor's Harry Potter Web site in
order to answer weekly quiz questions and to tally
their points, their minds got a workout, too.
