Step I Lead-in
T: Have you read the book Harry Potter or seen the film — Harry Potter?
Ss: Yes, we have.
Show the book and photos to the whole class.
T: Now who can tell us something about Harry Potter? Any volunteer?
Sa: The story, Harry Potter, belongs to the science fiction. The author, J. K. Rowling, an English woman, has written a series of seven books telling the story of Harry, a boy magician, and his fights against the forces according to the stories. They have been translated into many foreign languages, and films have been made based on the stories., which have been equally successful. They are quite popular with the children all over the world. It’s said that adults also like them very much. Up to now, all the seven books have come out.
T: You’ve done a very good job. Thank you very much！In his sentence there is a phrase “come out”. What does it mean here?
Sb: It means “be published”.
T: Quite right. It also means “be put on”. For example, “When will your book come out?”
Step II Talking
Ask the Ss to do Activity 1 in INTRODUCTION on page 51. First get the Ss to check the meaning of the words in the box. Then ask them to answer the questions of Activity 1 on page 51.

Sa: Yes, but how can I understand “star (v.)”?
T: It means to be a main performer. And pay special attention to the -ing and -ed forms of the word.
The last letter “r” should be doubled. They are “starring” and “starred”. Now look at the film poster and answer the questions.
The Ss do ask-answer activity in pairs.
