Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

1. Right now in the book, Harry Potter is learning on how to fly a broomstick from Madam Hooch and she specifically said not to start flying yet until she gave the signal. However, Neville Longbottom, a clumsy boy in Harry's year stared flying by accident and breaks his wrist. When Madam Hooch brings him up to the hospital wing, Malfoy, Harry's arch nemesis picks up Neville's rememberall, a glass ball that glows red whenever you forget something. Harry tells Malfoy to give it to him, but Malfoy glides up into the air and tells Harry to "come and get it."

2. Right now, I really enjoy the story. It has a witty plot and reminds me of another book I read a long time ago, but I can't remember the name of it or the series. There were no parts in the book that were boring or slow. Every moment had me wanting to read more.

3. The theme of this book is freedom because For his entire life, Harry had been locked in his room in his aunt and uncle's house. His real parents had been murdered by Lord Voldemort, the most powerful dark wizard at the time and somehow, he survived the curse that should have killed him and it left a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead. Anyway, when Harry finds out that he is a wizard, he goes to Hogwarts, which is a boarding school and he is free to do the things he could never do when he was in the Dursley's house because they hated him for being a wizard.

4.My favorite character is Ron Weasley because he is entertaining. He is not the best wizard, but he saved his friend Hermionie Granger with Harry's help from a 10 foot tall troll.

5. My least favorite character is Malfoy because he is mean to everyone. He thinks that everyone not in Slytherin, 1 of the 4 houses in Hogwarts is stupid and has a lesser status than he. Malfoy thinks of himself highly and is spoiled because he is rich.

6. I predict that Harry will also fly up into the air and go after Malfoy, but that doesn't say much seeing that I have seen the movie and I already know what will happen.
