How would you feel if you were Harry?

I was SO excited to see how many of you responded to last week's post! Let's keep it up again this week! I would like us to think about what it would be like to be in Harry's shoes. He's just left the only family he's ever known, and while they definitely were not the best, they were still family. How would you feel if it was you?

I think I would feel very lonely. It is very hard to go to a new place knowing absolutely no one! Think about what it was like when you started at a new school. You had no idea what to expect, and I'm sure if you had friends or family to turn to it definitely helped. What do you think?

If I were to just dump my family behind I'd feel awkward. Who would want to dump the people that raised, cared, and fed!? But I said my family not Harry's.

I'd feel lonely, because i'd have no one to chat or play with. As you know, I lovvve to talk. I'd especially miss my bro, because we're practically inseparable.

If I were Harry it would be hard to learn spells because it would be hard to say spells. KJ

I choose awkward because in the book they say that Harry does not have parents so really I'd say theres nothing to werry about.

I would feel awkward because it is kind of weird letting a stranger take you to a wizardry school that you don't even know about. I wouldn't really feel comfortable with that. Plus I would NOT want to leave my mom and dad. Maybe my brother and sister.

if I was harry I would be happy to leave my family because they were mean to him but Iwould also be lonley too.I also would feel leafed out because It would feel like everybody knew magic expept me.and I think it is kind of cool that they have groups like us /Ravenclaw/hufalpuff/grifodor and slitheran.I like the book so far.

If I had to leave my family to
go to a new school faraway,I would be scared. I would be scared because I did not know any magic.
Also,I would be worried because
everyone would be asking me questions because he was Harry Potter and he was famous.

I would feel lonely because if you had to leave you family it would be scary too. Also because you would have to get places on your own.
