Harry Potter Drama

You may have read or watched Harry Potter Series by J K Rowling. This has won the Best Children's Book of 2003. On our Entertainment day at our college we decided to stage the 5th part of Harry Potter ie: Harry Potter and the Order of Pheonix.


It was quite a controversial decision. Many were against it. But we were confident that we could host a good show. We started preparing the script and dialogues. We began to search similar faces with the original Harry Potter Characters. The main protagonist Harry Potter's role was given to Surya.V(Same person who was partnerd me TCS Rural IT Quiz). Ron's role was given to Avadhoot.D.J(My best Friend). Hermoiny's role was given to Madhuri.D.V(Not Madhuri Dixit). And other roles too were given to my friends.

I refrained from acting and took on the job of Special Effects or Audio Video Department. We started practising it by bunking our classes not that we were too interested in doing drama but to avoid listening to the boring lectures.

Sunil (Dumbledore)

There were many hiccups during the journey. As you may have learnt we participated in TCS Rural IT Quiz (infact we secured 2nd place) and also the Mid Term Examinations had commenced. We started losing interest in it. Our English teacher who had kept hope and faith in us fighting all the criticism of choosing Harry Potter was in a weepy state.

Abhijeet (Voldemort)

After a small duel between me and Surya we gave it a new kickstart. In just under 10 days we rehersed it. Now it was my turn to put all the sound and video effects in it. With the help of our Computer teacher we were able to do that quite easily. Our school has projector and we made very good use of it. We showed flashes of light when the spell was cast.

Soujanya (Umbridge)

On the day of Entertainment Day, our hearts were beating hard. After coming at the college at around 3 PM we got ready in our clothes, dresses and costumes. The most funniest part was that even the boys had to apply lipstick.

A Classroom Scene

At around 6 PM the program started. On that day there was also a drama on Cindrella by our School students too. When our time came we performed quite good. We got appreciations from our classmates, audience and teachers.

After a long fought battle we managed to put down a great show.

I can see a change in the "Victory of Good over Evil" based Dramas. From Ancient to Contemporary..
