April 25, 2012 Chapter Twelve
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.
