Hagrid: What are you looking at? Blimey, is that the time? Sorry, Harry, I'm going to have
to leave you. Dumbledore'll be wanting his... Well, he'll be wanting to see me. Now, your
train leaves in 10 minutes. Here's your ticket. Stick to it, Harry. That's very important.
Stick to your ticket.
Harry: Platform nine and three quarters? But Hagrid, there must be a mistake. This says
platform nine and three quarters. There's no such thing, is there?
Man: Sorry.
Harry: Excuse me. Excuse me.
Trainmaster: Right on your left, ma'am.
Harry: Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me where I might find platform nine and three
quarters?
Trainmaster: Nine and three quarters? You think you're being funny, do you?
Mrs. Weasley: It's the same year after year. Always packed with muggles, of course.
Come on.
Harry: Muggles?
Mrs. Weasley: Platform nine and three quarters this way! All right, Percy. You first.
Mrs. Weasley: Fred, you next.
George: He's not Fred, I am!
Fred: Honestly, woman, you call yourself our mother!
Mrs. Weasley: Oh, sorry, George.
Fred: I'm only joking. I am Fred.
Harry: Excuse me! C-could you tell me how to...
Mrs. Weasley: How to get on the platform? Yes, not to worry, dear. It's Ron's first time
to Hogwarts as well. Now, all you've got to do is walk straight at the wall between
platforms 9 and 10. Best do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous.
Ginny: Good luck.

Discussion

1. Harry is 11 years old. Do you think he is old enough to travel on a train by himself?
2. What is the earliest age someone should travel alone? When did you first travel alone?
3. There are seven children in the Weasley family? How many siblings do you have? Would
you like to have more or fewer?
4. Do you think it is better to grow up in a big family (like Ron) or a small family?
5. Ron grew up in a big but poor family. Harry was an orphan, raised by his uncle and aunt.
How do you think Ron's and Harry's childhoods were similar?
6. Do you know any identical twins? How can you tell them apart (distinguish them)?

Script
Wednesday: Tyler.
Tyler: I got your invite. I'm guessing you had Thing drop it in the tip jar?
Wednesday: Good guess.
Tyler: Well, your note was so genuine and… sweet. Totally took me by surprise.
Wednesday: Me too.
Tyler: Well, now that I’m here, I’m glad I came. You need a few minutes?
Wednesday: Genuine and sweet? How could you do this to me?
Wednesday: How’d you pay for it?
Wednesday: Five-finger discount, of course. Thing, don't look.
Tyler: Wow, you look…
Wednesday: Unrecognizable? Ridiculous? A classic example of female objectification
for the male gaze?
Wednesday: Amazing. I mean it, Wednesday. You look beautiful.

Discussion

1. Do you think Wednesday is excited to go to the Rave'N with Tyler? Can you offer
any evidence (from this or previous videos) to support your opinion?
2. Wednesday always stands out in her school through her actions and clothing. Did
you go to school with anyone like her? How was this person unique? Was he/she
popular?
3. Thing stole the dress (five-finger discount). How do you think he stole it? Use your
imagination and describe the crime in detail.
4. Wednesday worries that her dress makes her "a classic example of female
objectification for the male gaze." What does she mean?
5. Do you thing about these concepts when you choose what to wear?
