LESSON PREVIEW
ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This Harry Potter ESL Lesson
Nearly thirty years after Harry Potter first appeared, millions of readers still know exactly which Hogwarts house they belong to. But why do people enjoy being sorted into groups?
This B1–B2 Harry Potter ESL lesson uses the Sorting Hat as a starting point to explore identity, belonging, personality and labels. Students consider why people enjoy identifying with groups and whether one category can ever truly describe a person.
The lesson combines an original reading and audio with vocabulary, comprehension, discussion questions and critical-thinking activities. Students use English to discuss Harry Potter, friendship, personality, group identity, labels and the human desire to belong.
