In this study group, we will consider the Harry Potter series with particular emphasis on the differences between constructing narrative in novels and films, and the constraints and opportunities presented by transforming lengthy written texts into a visual/auditory medium. With close analysis of key scenes and their realisation in the print and and film media, we could explore these questions, among others: What exactly was done in the film adaptation? What cuts were made, and why? What was added that was NOT in the original text, and why? How are events narrated, and how faithful is the dialogue and the representation of places and events to the original? How have novels that grew from the imagination of a single author, working alone, been transformed in the process of making of big-budget films with hundreds of people involved in their production? We will also exchange views on whether the adaptations do justice to the novels, sell them short, or indeed transcend them.
Please note: for administrative reasons, this Study Group appears under Pat Skorge's name, but apart from being the member of staff sponsoring the SG, I have nothing to do with it. Pat Skorge

articipants should have read some or all of the Harry Potter novels, preferably in English, and to have watched some or all of the film adaptations. For the “Studienleistung”, participants can research and briefly present theoretical approaches to the comparative analysis of novel and film (e.g. narrative in prose fiction and in film), or select, prepare and initiate the discussion of selected topics or of specific episodes in the novels and films.
