Bullying

[Shaun Hately]

I just received a packet of information relating to my bullying committee work, and 
given the recent discussion here, thought that one part of it might be interesting. 
Moves are afoot to use the HP novels in a formalised way to help address bullying 
in schools.

The plan is to use passages and the like from the books (and possibly scenes from 
the film(s)) to provoke discussion on bullying, and try to make more kids understand 
why teasing/bullying effects others, and appropriate behaviour. How things that 
seem funny to you, can really hurt another (talking about the 'prank' involving 
Snape). If it gets done properly, it'll be quite detailed - not just looking at obvious 
cases like Neville, and Hermione, but dealing with characters like Myrtle as well.
