Hogwarts: Charms Class
And here's the latest instalment from my mecabricks series, Professor Flitwick's Charms Class.
Bits of inspiration...
"Owing to the potential for nasty accidents when objects kept flying across the room, Professor Flitwick had given each student a stack of cushions on which to practise, the theory being that these wouldn't hurt anyone if they went off target. It was a good theory, but it wasn't working very well. Neville's aim was so poor that he kept accidentally sending much heavier things flying across the room - Professor Flitwick, for instance." GoF
"Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher, was a tiny little wizard who had to stand on a pile of books to see over his desk. At the start of their first class he took the roll call, and when he reached Harry’s name he gave an excited squeak and toppled out of sight." PS
"Speaking of eccentrics, you'll like our Head of house, Professor Filius Flitwick. People often underestimate him, because he's really tiny (we think he's part elf, but we've never been rude enough to ask) and he's got a squeaky voice, but he's the best and most knowledgeable Charms master alive in the world today. His office door is always open to any Ravenclaw with a problem, and if you're in a real state he'll get out these delicious little cupcakes he keeps in a tin in his desk drawer and make them do a little dance for you. In fact, it's worth pretending you're in a real state just to see them jive." Pottermore
The lines of the desks and benches echo the dark wood and tiered seating from the classroom set at Harrow. In a perfect world there might even be a bit of the brilliant wood panel stickers from the Charms Moment set for the exterior wall. The diminutive Charmsmaster perches precariously on his stack of books to better instruct his class. That doesn't always end well for him, but luckily he knows a good Cushioning Charm or three. A tin of biscuits is always at his side, in House colours naturally, as are cupcakes for bolstering student spirits, and of course he wouldn't forget the teacup his O.W.L. students must grace with legs, or the pineapple the firsties teach to tap dance.
Play features: Convert the desks to firstie height with the removal of only six pieces and let Hermione practice Wingardium Levi-O-sa with her quill. Help Neville finally succeed in moving his cushion, or give Professor Flitwick a hand cheering him up by making a cupcake "jive". And if perchance things do go wrong and the poor Professor is sent flying? Well Hermione is always ready with a helping wand should he lose his...
