The Mirror of Erised shows nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our heart.
For Harry, he sees the family he has never known. Ron sees himself finally stepping out from his older
brothers shadows.
Kings Crossword Puzzle
In Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, Harry becomes the star player of the Gryffindor Quidditch team
by catching the Golden Snitch, a golden ball bewitched to fly around the Quidditch pitch. Now you can
catch and keep your own Golden Snitch!
Tips:
Work carefully and be patient, allowing glue, paint, or ink time to dry before you move on to the
next step.
Decorate your Snitch in a unique way to make sure it stands out.
Minimize the amount of mess you make and clean up before you move on to the next activity.
In your life, what do you most desire? What do you hope your future holds?
