For the final project, I think it would really interesting to document everything to do with location in the Harry Potter books. There would be many basic spots such as where Hogwarts is as well and the Ministry of Magic, but there would also be where the quidditch teams are located, where other schools are located, as well as following Harry, Ron, and Hermione through the seventh book as they travel around trying to defeat Voldemort.
We could use something as simple as Google maps or something a bit more complex. On the map we could have descriptions as well as clips from the movies (or just clips we've created ourselves) or pictures that go with specific locations. For example, to show where the ministry of magic is there could be a placement on the map of England in London where exactly it is and in the bubble that pops up when you click on that location a clip of the movie when Ron's dad and Harry enter the Ministry by going down the telephone booth.
There are many possibilities to incorporate video, pictures, and information in this project. I think it would be a very interesting one to do, and anyone who enjoyed reading the books would probably love to work on this. It would require some research to find out where exactly some locations are but in the end it would turn out to be a very fun and cool project that others might actually spend some time looking at if they stumbled upon it on the Internet. So not only would we be appealing to what we've been learning in the course but we are also reaching out to people outside of the course by using a topic that is very popular and well known.
