I’d been looking into extra-curricular activities, and ways to improve library provision of opportunities for pupils to develop skills outwith the classroom, when I came across this fun article on FB:
Did Harry Potter’s extracurricular activities land him a job at the Ministry of Magic? How did Harry Potter become an Auror despite never taking his NEWTs? Could the skills he learnt outside of the classroom at Hogwarts have made him employable? The Open University’s Dr Grace Clifton investigates.
Have a read! It’s an entertaining slant on a serious and topical issue. 🙂
