FREE! - Harry Potter: Describing Characters Word Mat Pack [Ages 7-11]

What’s included in this Harry Potter Character Description Pack?

We’ve teamed up with Bloomsbury Publishing to bring you this amazing Harry Potter Character Description Pack. It contains beautifully illustrated word banks for 7 of the main characters from the wizarding world of Harry Potter, including:

• Harry Potter;
• Hermione Granger;
• Ronald Weasley;
• Draco Malfoy;
• Rubeus Hagrid;
• Lord Voldemort;
• Albus Dumbledore.

Each word mat contains a selection of exciting adjectives to enhance children’s character descriptions and develop their descriptive writing skills. Not only this, but they also feature lovely hand-drawn illustrations of each character.

They’re perfect to print out and give to individual children to support them in writing their Harry Potter Character Description. Or, the mats can be displayed in the classroom for children to refer back to throughout the lesson. It’s a great way to enhance children’s confidence with writing, while also extending their vocabulary. 

After completing their Harry Potter Character Descriptions, why not make pupils’ hard work stand out by using our Harry Potter Page Borders? We have a selection of fully lined pages that children could use to write their descriptions. We also have half lined templates, with space for them to draw their own illustration of the character. Simply download to get started!
