Jordan King - Periodic Table of Harry Potter Characters

The periodic table project has been one of my favorite projects so far in my school career, mostly because I was free to choose a topic that interests me.

I chose it because my all-time favorite series of books is the Harry Potter collection and it would be really handy for reference, especially for people who haven’t seen the movies or read the books.
