Dan Carroll
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 
J.K. Rowling
Just Right
pg. 160 

1. Right now Filch's cat Mrs. Norris was recently petrified. There were words all over the wall saying that the chamber was now open. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were not in the right place when everyone got back from the halloween feast. They were previously at Nearly Headless Nick's death party and never got the chance to go to the feast so they were walking back to their corridor and noticed Mrs. Norris was hanging by her tail with those words written. Snape then started accusing the kids of petrifying Filch's cat. It couldn't be proven so they were allowed to leave without a punishment. 

2. This book is so good, I like because I have seen the movie and I pretty much know what is going to happen, but it's fun to remember what happened in the movie and have a good image in you mind of what scene is happening. It's also fun to see what parts of the book were not added in the making of the movie. 

3. I think the theme of this book right now is fear of the unknown. I think this because the students are so scared of what is going on and they have no idea who or what is doing it. Harry and Hermione are both extremely curious of what is going on. They have been snooping around the "crime scene" to see who could have been at that spot before they were. 

4. My favorite character in this book is Harry, how can you read Harry Potter and have your favorite character not be Harry. I like him because back home he is a nerdy kid who his cousin Dudley beats him up every day. His Uncle and Aunt also treat him terribly by never giving him enough food. Then when he gets to Hogwarts he is this famous kid who everybody loves.

5. My least favorite character in the book is Draco Malfoy because he called Hermione a mudblood which is someone who has muggle parents, but the kid is a witch or wizard. This is an extreme insult in the wizarding world. Draco is a pureblood which means everyone in his family tree has been a pureblood wizard. Draco is also extremely obnoxious who thinks he's all that but he is obviously not.

6. I predict that these mysterious things are going to continue to happen. I also think that they are going to follow the spiders that they have just found walking through the hallway to an even bigger spider who will try to kill them (in a way i already know that's what is going to happen).
