Translation: Hello! My name is Harry Potter and my name is Ron. We have done lots of things in our lives.

The title should be "Le Château d'Être Page 1" but it won't let me place the proper accents so my OCD will have to succumb. This is the first page of a project I did for my high school French class. I'm fairly certain this was my third year, which means it was the year of 2007-2008, but I could be wrong about that. Our project was to make something to help us remember the verbs manipulated by the verb "être" (to be) when they are used in the past tense. I had already made my "House of Être" (which I will probably upload as well...) so I decided to expand on that idea and make a pop-up book. There are probably some mistakes with my translation, I've tweaked the story of Harry Potter as well, and my pop-up skills aren't fabulous, but I still had lots of fun making this, and I think it's still pretty neat. This is the second pop-up book I've made for school, and I plan to post the first one I made soon. The characters, setting, and story (kinda) come from J.K. Rowling. The character design comes from Neil Cicierega and his wonderful Potter Puppet Pals. I used paper for the page, black Sharpie for the writing, felt for the illustration, and duct tape for the binding.
