Week 6: Story Laboratory - Storybook Research

The next story I write will either be about the Department of Mysteries or the Forbidden Forest. Below is research for that, mostly focusing on the DoM part because I believe that's what I'll write next. 

Research for the Department of Mysteries:

Characters who might end up in the DoM:
Objects my character might find in the DoM:
  • A ring - This story is about an enchanted ring. 
Ring, Ornament, Engagement Rings
  • A clock or watch - This story is about an enchanted watch.

  • A mirror - This story is about a magic mirror.

  • A fountain (Fountain of Youth?)

Pottermore gives a great run-down of the DoM here, as well as its contents. 

Placing here for reference: Laura recommended this great site to find good stories based on objects! So to find stories I'm just searching for an object on Google and adding the site, so it'd be like this: [object name] site:www.mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/

Research for the Forbidden Forest:

Characters who might end up in the FF:
  • Padma Patil
  • Harry Potter
  • Neville Longbottom
  • Luna Lovegood
Potential "guides" through the FF:
  • A character from a short story who the MC meets along the way
  • Prof. Firenze 
  • Owl that the MC has to follow 
Objects/things/creatures the MC might find that tells a story:
  • Trees that have been cut down
  • Area of the forest that has been destroyed
  • Unicorn
  • Sword
  • Sparrow
  • Dragon
Pottermore also gives a great run-down of the FF here

Week 11 Story: Gellert

(Warning that this story is kind of a downer!) Gellert could smell the wolf. He knew his owner, the prince, couldn’t smell it because he...
