We've Finished!

We have finally finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone! What a great ending! Not only did Harry save the day, but his friends were there to help him. I love how Ron used his Chess skills and Hermione used her logic to get passed those obstacles. They were brilliant! I was also shocked to discover that Professor Quirrell was the one after the Sorcerer's Stone and not Professor Snape! Snape always makes it seem like he is after Harry, when really he was only trying to help him. Lastly, it was so exciting that Gryffindor won the house cup! I think after Harry and Hermione lost so many points for their house, it was nice that they were able to earn the points that helped them win. Way to go Gryffindor! What a great book!

This week, I would like you to do more than just respond to the poll. I would also like you to tell me if you liked the book and a few reasons why or why not. We have spent so much time reading this story and you have all done such a wonderful of answering the weekly blog questions that I would really love to hear what you think overall.

This week's poll question is from L.C. Please write at least 4 perfect sentences responding to his question, and at least 4 sentences about what you thought of the book overall. Good Luck!

I think if Quirrell wasn't going after the Sorcerer's Stone it would have been Professor Sprout. We heard so little about him in the story that there is a chance he could be trying to sneak in and take the Sorcerer's Stone! We do not really know whether Professor Sprout is a helpful person or a sneaky person. I think that he could be a suspect until we do find out more (maybe in another book!).

What do you think?

Please look at the bottom of this page for additional poll questions that you may answer. I was given so many great ideas, I couldn't choose just one!


Miss Romola

Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback

Last week in Harry Potter, we read about Hagrid's new pet. A dragon! He was so excited but everyone else thought he was a little crazy. Who would want a fire breathing dragon as a pet???? Harry and Hermoine were trying to help Hagrid get rid of Norbert, but ended up getting in trouble. Neville and Malfoy got in trouble too! I hope their punishment isn't too bad!

This week's poll question was given by H.N. It's a great one! The first person to write 5 perfect sentences will receive 8 points for their house! Good Luck!

I think if I went to Hogwarts, I would want an owl as my pet. Hedwig is so helpful to Harry! Since owls are used as the post, it would make it very easy for me to stay in touch with my family while I am away from them at school. Also, I think owls are very beautiful and smart creatures. What do you think?

Nicholas Flamel

Harry, Ron and Hermione have finally found out who Nicholas Flamel is! Now that they know, who knows what they will do next! This is important information. Hopefully, they will be able to protect the Sorcerer's Stone now that they know what it is!

This week's blog question comes from R.M. The first person to write 5 perfect sentences will receive 6 extra points for their house. Perfect sentences need to have both perfect grammar and spelling! Don't forget!

I think that Harry will use his cloak to get passed Fluffy, the three headed dog. After seeing him once, I think that he, Ron, and Hermione are going to become more and more curious. Especially since they now know he is protecting the Sorcerer's Stone! I hope that Harry's invisibility cloak will be enough to protect him from Fluffy!
