Harry Potter

1-122 page

Well i have to read around 400 pages in about 4-5 days....oh god lol. So i will be reading about 100 pages a night, so if you are reading my blogs and it seems like im not explaining each chapter well, its because there are a lot of chapters and im reading a lot.

The first chapter recalls Harry's previous adventures. Harry is now back at the Dursley's house for the summer and they don't let him do anything! He had not seen any of his friends all some and is miserable. When school starts he has to write a few essays. Three owls come in his window one night and brings him gifts from his friends for his birthday.

One morning, as they Dursley's and Harry were watching the news, they hear a report about an escaped convict, Siriuso Black, who is armed and extremely dangerous. Aunt Marge visits and she hates Harry. She always thinks hes a trouble maker and always teases and yells at him. He tries to be nice but eventually snaps, casting a spell on her that makes her swell up like a balloon. He runs away and heads towards Hogsmeade.

 As Harry wanders the streets he realizes that he has broken the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry, and is sure he will be expelled. As he walks he sees big glowing eyes staring at him in an ally and before he has time to react, the Knight Bus, a bus that picks up stray wizards, comes and he gets on. His destination is London and as the bus depart, he learns about Sirius Black from the newspaper. He also meets Cornelius Fudge at Diagon Alley and was offered a room at the Leaky Cauldron.

Harry goes shopping for school supplies. And as he walks around town he notices a new broom for Quidditch, the firebolt. Later he meets Ron and Hermione who share what the have bought. Ron buys school stuff and takes his pet rat Scabbers to get a check up. Hermione gets school supplies and buys a cat. Harry overhears Mr. Weasley and a few other men discussing how Sirius Black is after Harry.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione board a train and head to Hogwarts. On the way there, a dementor, an akaban guard, gets on the train and Harry passes out because he apparently heard screams. With the arrival at Hogwarts, McGonagall wants a word with Harry and Hermione and we learn that Hagrid is the new Care of Magical Creatures teacher. Professor Trelawney predicts Harry's death because he has the has the Grim, the giant, spectral dog that haunts churchyards; an omen of death. If you see one, you will die soon after.


I too have an annoying aunt, but she is never mean to me. She is just real arrogant and expects me to wait on her.....I feel bad for Harry because he seeing all these things that are telling him hes gonna die. poor kid
