Cardiff Uni Harry Potter Society

This year, the society is embarking on yet more new territory and taking part in the Student Union’s annual Go Global festival at the end of February.

By involving thousands of students, GO GLOBAL seeks to present the identity and strength of culture of our student body to the University and the local, Cardiff community.

By putting on interesting and unique events, Societies and International Students in close partnership with the Students’ Union, aim to offer scope to students, staff and the local community.

We plan to spend an evening re-telling the story of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in as many languages as possible. And maybe with a few fun (and possible house point-generating) activities thrown in.

Our social on Tuesday 9th February will be in preparation for this. We’ll be discussing how we’re going to put this together, so come armed with ideas and, if you have them, foreign language versions of the books. Which parts of the text are essential to tell the story? Which bits are your favourites?

What else can we do to make the evening entertaining? Suggestions so far have included a Mastermind-style quiz or attempting some sort of indoor Quidditch (probably a bit of a stretch…). All ideas welcome!
