Looking Behind and Looking Ahead

Sad News Potter Watch fans: NO MORE POTTER WATCH!

As UNC Charlotte is warming up for another year of academic vigilance the Harry Potter club started by Micheal Burson seven years ago will not be joining the new year. It has been announced earlier this summer that the club has been cancelled due to the failure of obtaining a new headmaster or headmistress for the following year.

True that Potter Watch would have been celebrating its seventh anniversary, but the Daily Prophet will still be going on in their sixth year of existence and its second year as a blog. Yes the Prophet will continue their Harry Potter spirit for the UNC Charlotte Potter fans with a promise of a whole new ray of fun.

The Prophet will be hosting discussions, games, trivia, and all sorts of fun. In the past it had even given prizes, but this will not continue. It will be simply for fun and the chance for Potter fans to hang out together on the blog.

SUMMER REVIEW:

This summer two amazing fantasy adventures have been released that requires the Prophet's attention:

1. Maleficent

On May 30th, Disney released the film that told story of one of Disney's most infamous villains Maleficent. The film got a usual mild response from critics, but many truly loved the deep layered story. People have noticed the immense similarity the film had to its predecessor Frozen in November 2013. Due to its popularity, the Prophet will be doing a discussion topic tomorrow on Maleficent.

2. How to Train Your Dragon 2

The story continued on June 13th for Hiccup, Toothless, and their town of Berk. The story is just as promising as its prequel starting where the previous had left off. However, a few years later and we meet a whole new ray of characters and surprising plot twists that brought tears to our eyes.
