Harry's finally going to Hogwarts!

We have finally have reached the point in our story where Harry is leaving for Hogwarts! This is so exciting! We are going to begin to see the magical world and all that it involves. Sounds pretty cool to me! I can't wait to hear what all of you think about the story up to this point. Don't forget, you can always write more than the minimum in you blog entry. I would LOVE to hear what you think of the book up to this point, and also about what you think will happen next!

For this week's poll, I think that if I had to go through the barrier at platform 9 and 3/4 I would be more than just scared. I would be TERRIFIED!!! The idea of having to walk straight through a solid wall is totally crazy! I think that Harry is very brave to trust the woman with the red hair when she tells him that is what he has to do. What do you think?

Harry Potter: Week 2

I'm so excited to see how many of you commented on our first Harry Potter post! The first house that had all their members respond was Gryffindor! They will be receiving one point. Don't forget to respond to our blog every week. I love reading your responses! This week, I would like you to try and write at least 3 sentences when you write your comments. Our poll this week is about Hagrid.

I think that Hagrid is full of courage. It was very brave of him to keep sending the letters to Harry, and to come and rescue him from the Dursleys! I hope that Hagrid will continue to help Harry as we read further into our story.

What do you think?

Harry Potter!

We can finally start using our blog!! For our first discussion, I would like to talk about our favorite characters so far. We have read the first three chapters so far, and I would love to hear who your favorite character is as of right now. Please answer our poll and then write at least 4 sentences saying why you chose that character. At the bottom of your response, make sure you write your INITIALS ONLY so I know who the response is from.

My favorite character, as of right now, is Dudley. I love to read about all the crazy things that have happened to him! I also love to not like Dudley because he is so mean. I think he is a very interesting character and can't wait to see what else happens to him in later chapters!
