Exploring the Science of Harry Potter

Science is integrated in each of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books, which is just one of the reasons the magic is so real.

Explore the science and magic of the world of Harry Potter through video clips, presentations, discussions, activities and artwork. Topics include genetics and trait prediction (parseltongue, giants, squibs), acid/base chemistry (Marauder’s Map), fantastic beasts and herbology.

Science has never been so magical!
