I am on page 350 in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling. This is SO exciting, that I can't stop reading it!!!!!!!!!!!!
After Harry ran away from the Dursleys, he suddenly saw in the ally a giant dog-like shape in the shadows. Then, a huge flying bus came and stopped in front of Harry. Harry went in with his luggage and sat down. He told the bus driver that he wanted to go to Diagon ally. As he was riding, he saw a wizard paper. It told about someone named Sirius Black. He learned that he killed tons of people in a single curse, and he was held in a prison named Azkaban. He was on the loose!
Harry got off the bus, and he found out that he wouldn't be expelled. He met Ron and Hermione. The next day they would all go to Hogwarts. While they were up in Harry's hotel room, Ron said that he forgot some medicine for Scabbers in the downstairs. Harry went to get it, but he overheard Mr. and Mrs. Weasley(Ron's parents) talking about Black. Harry overheard that BLACK WAS AFTER HIM, and Black was friends with .the now dead, Voldemort.
The next day they all got on the train to Hogwarts. In the middle of the ride, the train stopped. A dark creature with a hood over him so that you couldn't see him face went into the train. Harry fainted. After a while, Harry woke up and found out that the creature was looking for Black. The creatures were the guards at Azkaban. Within the first couple weeks of school, Harry found out that they had a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. His name was Professor Lupin. Harry also had something else weird happen to him in Fortune Telling class. The teacher read Harry's palm and said that his life was very short. Harry also had a quidditch match coming up too. Harry was a seeker. The winning of the game all depended on Harry, and THEY WON! The gryffindor team beat slytherin(which had Malphoy as the seeker).
A question that I have about this part of the book is Why does it seem that the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers are always the ones that get fired or something? I think that this might happen because it is probably one of the most dangerous job. They have to do TONS on spells and things like that.
I predict that Voldemort will come back! I predict this because he is kind of the "main" Villon in the other first two books. I also think this because i think that the author will want to surprise us. She'll make us think he's dead, then he will come back.
A connection that I have for this part of the book has to do with people always wanting to kill Harry. This is like how in most stories and movies, the nicest person always is hated the most. I think that people hate the nicest people because they are sinful.
For your focus question: respond to any topic in your book in an either compare and contrast, cause and effect, or problem and solution paragraph (do a different one than last week).
There are many solutions to the problem of Black wanting to kill Harry. Harry should first try to kill Black first. This would get rid of many of problems that would happen if Black got o Harry. Black obviously wouldn't be able to kill Harry if he was dead(hopefully you noticed that). Another solution to this problem is that Harry could figure out wear Black would most likely be and why he is trying to kill him. Then, Harry could pun himself in Black's shoes. Harry might be able to catch Black red handed, and then turn him in. This would again make it impossible for Black to kill Harry. All of these would help Harry get away from Black.
