Tuesday 4/21/09 puppylove

I am reading Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets by J.K.Rowling and I predict Harry will get in big trouble while Dobby is at Harry's Aunt and Uncle's house.Harry's Aunt and Uncle don't know Dobby is there in the house.I think when Dobby is going wild and is making noises he can be heard downstairs.
After I started reading Harry Potter, I thought of two questions.
One question is why does Harry's uncle and aunt treat him so mean? The second question is why doesn't Dobby want Harry to go to Hogwarts?
I think Harry's Aunt and Uncle and Cousin are so mean to Harry is because they didn't want Harry to live with them. So they took him in, to live with them so he could do the chores.Harry's aunt and uncle also didn't like him because Harry could do magic like his parents.That made them jealous of Harry's special talents.
I think Dobby was owned by an evil family that knew Voldemort's plans.So Dobby was trying to help and protect Harry from Voldemort. This is why Dobby didn't want Harry to go to Hogwarts.
While I read I had trouble with the word anxiously.I found out that it meant someone is nervously doing something.The clue that helped me clarify this word was Harry listened anxiously to the conversation that Mr.Malfoy was having with the store keeper.While I was reading I found a simile.One simile is "He was bearing down on Harry like a great bulldog".The story was about Harry getting in trouble because Harry's uncle thought Harry was making all the noises but it was really Dobby.Then Harry gets locked in his room. Harry is freed from the Dursleys with Ron's help.I think the next time I read it will be about about the time Harry and Ron spent in Hogwarts.

  1. Sarah,

    What do you think the simile meant? It sounds like there is a lot going on in your story right now and it is only the beginning, right?
