Magical Trivia Challenge

💭 Think About...

1. What are some of your favorite stories involving wizards, witches, or magic? What do you love about them?
2. If you could have one magical power, what would it be and why? How would you use it responsibly?
3. Many magical stories involve characters facing challenges or obstacles. Can you think of a time in your own life when you had to overcome something difficult? What helped you persevere?
4. Wizarding world stories often feature mythical creatures like dragons, unicorns, and phoenixes. If you could meet one magical creature in real life, which would you choose and what would you ask it?
5. In magical tales, characters often have to make tough choices between right and wrong. If you were in their shoes, how would you decide what to do? What would be your moral code as a wizard?
