Our main discussion this week is about orphans in literature! Why are there so many, and how are they alike?

How does Harry’s orphan status affect him? What would change if Lily and James survived?
What about Voldemort? He, too, is an orphan, but he and Harry are so different, or are they?
We examine some other notable orphans: Batman, Superman, Anna and Elsa from Frozen, James Bond and even Jane Eyre!
For Quizzitch: Who invented the spell Muffliato??
