Wednesday 4/1/09 puppylove

I am reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and I predict Hagrid and Harry are going to Hogwarts and everyone will be amazed that Harry Potter is there.I predict this because Harry was famous and everyboday knew him in the school.
After I read I had a few questions.My first question is why did Harry get invited to go to Hogwarts?I think the principal found him and thought Harry should come to Hogwarts.While I was reading I had trouble with two words.My first word is ravine.I clarified that it means a long steep hole.My last word is clambered.I clarified that it means someone being loud moving about.After I read I vizualized Mr.Ollivander finding a wand for Harry Potter.When I was reading I found a simile and it almost blew my socks off, "Weghing a pile of rubies as big as glowing coals".Based on what I read the story was about Harry getting all the things he needs for Hogwarts like money,a wand,books and a black cloak.

  2. Sarah,

    How did you clarify ravine and clambered? Try to remember to explain how you clarify your words! Harry Potter has some really tricky words, but if you use the context/words around them, you can infer their meaning. I am glad that you visualized the wand-buying part, but I want to know what you actually saw in your head! Tell me what it looked like!
