The Invisibility Cloak

Now that Harry has gotten this awesome Christmas present, who knows what he will do! We have already seen that Harry has gone into the restricted section of the library to find out about Nicholas Flamel, and that didn't go so well. Hopefully, he will have more luck later on. Who knows what he will do!

We are also hearing more and more about the house cup. It's so exciting! I hope that Harry's house wins!

This week's blog question is from M.N. It is a very interesting one! The first person to write five complete sentences with perfect spelling and grammar will receive an extra 6 points for their house. Good luck!

I think that Slytherin is going to win the house cup. I would love it if Gryffindor did, but because they Slytherins are so sneaky, they probably have a sneaky way of winning. If they do not, then I think Gryffindor will win. They try so hard! Especially Hermione. She answers so many questions right and works so hard for her house! Go Hermione!

Merry Christmas Harry!

Harry and Ron are spending their holidays at Hogwarts! They are having a wonderful time because most of the other students have gone home to spend time with their families. In what we have just read, we see how Christmas is celebrated in the castle. We also see the awesome gifts that Ron and Harry receive from their friends and family. This is an extra special day for Harry because he has never really received any gifts before. He is very surprised to receive so many gifts on Christmas! He is especially surprised by one very mysterious package...

This week's blog question was created by R.M. She did an excellent job really thinking about the story and what she think might happen. Awesome job making predictions! The first person to respond with five COMPLETE sentences and perfect spelling will receive 8 points for their house! Good Luck!

I think there is no way that Ron will take Harry's invisibility cloak. Ron and Harry are best friends! He would not want to hurt their friendship by taking something that belongs to Harry. I know that I would never ever do that to my best friend! I think Ron and Harry are close enough that Ron knows Harry will share with him and it does not need to be taken.

What do you think?

We're getting close to Christmas!

While we did not have much time to read more Harry Potter over the short week we had, we did find out today that it is getting close to Christmas! I am very excited to find out what it is like at Hogwarts during the holidays! It must be so exciting!

This week's poll question was created by H.N.

I think if I found a bag of Galleons I would try and return it. I think that it would probably be difficult to find the person that it belongs to, but it is their money, not mine. Plus, maybe I will be lucky and get a reward! There are tons of awesome things in the wizarding world to buy, but I know that I need to do the right thing before I spend money on anything. What do you think?

The first person to write 5 sentences in their comment will receive 6 extra points for their house!

The Quidditch Season Begins

We have now begun to hear about what it is like for Harry on the quidditch team. practices seem pretty intense! It's pretty amazing also that Harry is the youngest one to play on a Hogwarts team in a very very long time! Since Harry had never heard of quidditch before, he had a lot to learn, and so did we! We found out about the different kinds of balls there were, the quaffle, the bludgers, and the golden snitch; and the different positions! This brings me to our poll question for this week. Please make sure that you write more than one sentence in your response. I will be looking for the first person to write a 5 sentence response, and will reward that house with 7 bonus points!!! So please, really think about what you are going to write.

I think if I were on the quidditch team, I would like to be a chaser. That position seems like to much fun! Not only are you right in the middle of all the action, but you get to score goals! That sounds pretty cool to me! Plus, I think I would be a little too nervous to be a beater. What about you?
