Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets Lessons

Lessons from Hogwarts
Throughout the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, many life lessons are taught, to the characters and the reader. From treating others as you would like to be treated to following directions in class. In many ways, this book is a good insight into the way a child might think and why they make the choices they do. For instance, following a trail of spiders into the wood is not something I would even consider, but reading it from Harry's point of view it makes perfect sense. This point of view also shows how I myself may be thought of as a teacher one day. Two of the ideas I found most interesting while rereading this book after six years, was the safety of the students and the connection

The basics of teaching are still there behind the story. A student's hand must still be raised when a question is asked, directions should still be followed although it is not customary for a student to pass out if they do not follow them, as seen in when dealing with Mandrakes. Harry Potter is a brilliant example of a difficult student that could do well if he just tried.

Professor Binns, the history of magic Professor is a testament to the fact that any subject can be interesting the right story just must be found. That you mustn't be so stubborn about what is true and what isn't. Teacher not treated with the most respect. Of those we see more than once or twice in books, they are not thought of very well. Though this is most likely because it is from a twelve-year-old's point of view and teachers are thought of as the enemy. On the other hand, Professor McGonagall is, in my opinion, a wonderful teacher. Very early on in the book, it is easy to tell that she care about her students especially when she did not expel Harry and Ron after the flying car incident. She is quite strict, however, for the "Golden Trio" I believe the structure is necessary. Which is a good lesson, there will be different teachers that will help some students and barely affect
