"Softy for a pet" Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Journal

Hagrid seems to be very attached to Norbert. Consider the description of Hagrid’s behaviour in Chapter 14 and explain what we can learn about Hagrid as a person through his relationship with his pet. Have you ever met anyone who is a “little crazy” over his/her pet?

   Hagrid seemed to be very attached to the dragon. It's amazing that a big, twelve-foot man, like Hagrid, could be such a softy towards a pet that he hasn't even had for more than a few weeks.
  Like Harry, Ron and Hermione, I know someone who is is alittle crazy over their pet. This person, I
 live with. She's my Aunt, she absolutely adored her pet. This pet was a cat. The cat was named Blakii. My Aunt loved this cat so much. She treated the cat as if it was her own child. When I first went to her house, I was amazed with what she did for the cat to keep it happy and comfortable. Like Hagrid and his pet, my Aunt has a similar attachment with her pet, the cat.

Chapter 13 Journal

Think about the power of the Philosopher’s Stone and how having one would affect your life. If you were immortal, what would life be like? If you owned an object that could turn metal into gold, how would your life be different? In your journal, identify at least 1 pro and 1 con of owning the Philospher’s Stone

If i was an immortal, things would be very interesting, yet it would be boring. Living forever isn't something i would like to experience. But i would try and probably get the best education and become rich. I'd live on a low-profile to keep my identity secrete but own a business that is organized and have it set also on a low-profile (example, the Rothschild's). If i owned an object that could turn metal into gold i would touch everything in sight and make millions, it would change my life, because i would be extremely rich. With the gold and metal, along with my everlasting life. I would be a ritch, greedy person. Tempted to make more and more. Living forever and having all the money in the world will not help me become a better person. One pro to own the Philosopher's stone would be the wealth in the Philosopher's stone and being immortal. One con, being immortal can be boring. I'd rather live my life and die old.

          In chapter twelve, page 149, bottom paragraph of Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone, the author was explaining how Harry was very blissful to be able to spend Christmas at Hogwarts. Through this paragraph there are many points to support the main idea. Firstly, Hogwarts had a Christmas dinner for all of the students and Harry was really happy to see different foods like: “fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce...” (Rowling 149).  Secondly, everyone at Gryffindor was gleeful and happy: “Up at the High Table, Dumbledore had swapped his pointed wizard's hat for a flowered bonnet, and was chuckling merrily at a joke Professor Flitwick had just read him…” (Rowling 140-150). Lastly, Harry was excited about the wizard crackers which were not like the muggle crackers: “Harry pulled a wizard cracker with Fred and it didn't just bang, it went off with a blast like a cannon and engulfed them all in a cloud of blue smoke, while from the inside exploded a rear admiral's hat and several live, white mice… including a pack of nonexplodable, luminous balloons, a Grow-Your-Own-Warts kit, and his new wizard chess set” (Rowling 149). In conclusion, the main idea of the paragraph in chapter twelve was that Harry had never had such a great Christmas before.

                                                            Snape’s Potion Lesson.

                                    

In chapter eight of Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone, Snape dislikes Gryffindor.  Firstly, Snape blames Harry for Neville’s accident. Neville was mixing potions and managed to melt a potion into a twisted blob which melted all over the stone floor, and then Snape yelled at Harry for Neville’s own accident. Secondly, Snape showed that he liked Slytherin best, rather then Gryffindor. When Snape was teaching the potion lesson he would criticize Gryffindor (mostly Harry) and not Slytherin. Thirdly, Snape seemed to favour Malfoy. When Snape was judging Harry as bad, he would seem to always like Malfoy who was in Slytherin. In conclusion, Snape seems to be cruel and judgemental man.

Chapter 5 journal

Chapter 5 journal. 

Harry encounters many strange people and places in Diagon Alley. Which of these characters did you find the most interesting? Why? Which store in Diagon Alley would you most like to visit? Explain your answer.

The most interesting character in chapter 5 would be Mr. Ollivander. I like this character because he is a wand sellsman and because the story behind finding Harry's wand was interesting. I like the fact he has a passion for selling wands to wizards. He was patient when looking for Harry's wand. When Mr. Ollivander found his wand, Mr. Ollivander told Harry that the wand that chose him is Voldemort's brother wand.

The store i would like to visit the most would be Mr. Ollivander's wand shop. Only because it would be interesting to find a wand and to talk to him and find out more about Diagon Alley.

Hagrid: Character Traits

         Through out chapters 1-5 of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, I found many

character traits for one of the characters Hagrid. One of the first character traits i found in Hagrid was that

Hagrid is a trustworthy. Professor Dumbledore trusts Hagrid to go alone to find Harry Potter and to get him

prepared for school at Hogwards school of Wizardry. The second character trait i found in Hagrid was that

he is strong. During chapter 3 Hagrid broke into the Dursley’s cabin on the island by ripping off the

cabin door. The third and last character trait i found in Hagrid was that he is caring. When Mrs. McGonagall

and Dumbledore dropped Harry off, Hagrid became teary eyed and didn't want to let Harry go, which was

a sign he cared for Harry. In conclusion Hagrid has many character traits.
