Warm-up

1. Have you watched any Harry Potter films? Can you think of any famous quotes or scenes? Do you have a favourite one? 2. Read the quote: "Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living. And above all, all those who live without love." Do you agree? 3. Here's another quote from the same scene in the film: "- Professor? Is this all real? Or is it just happening inside my head? - Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry. Why should that mean that it's not real?" What do you think this means?
