1. Right now harry just went to his case at the ministry. Previously he was about to get beat up by Dudley and a bunch of dementors attacked him. Harry had no choice but to use the potronous curse, but because harry isn't at his sixth year at Hogwarts he isn't allowed to do magic outside of the school. So, he received a letter from the Ministry of Magic saying that people will be there shortly to destroy his wand and that he is expelled from Hogwarts. Dumbledore herd this and immediately tried to set up a trial so Harry could argue his side. Even though Dumbledore helped Harry win the case Dumbledore was acting very strange. After the case instead of going over to talk to Harry he just continued walking away like he was mad at Harry.

2. So far I like the book. I don't think it is as good as the last book. I liked Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire more than this book. I liked the suspense and action the last novel had but this dosn't mean that this book dosn't have a lot of action. When I started reading this book I had too high expectations but I think it will get a lot better. There many more things that could happen and there are many more pages.

3. I think the theme right now is danger. I think this because there has been a seen where Harry had to cope with a very stressful enviornment. The Dementors came and when they try to kiss you (it's not the way you think) they take away all of the happiness out of you. Also to perform the patronous you need to think about happy thoughts which is hard to do when all of the happiness is being taken out of you.

4. My favorite character right now is Harry because he is extremely smart and he knows what to do when something bad is about to happen. The way he did what he did in that kind of pressure is something only a very powerful wizard can do.

5. My least favorite character right now is Dudley. I don't like him because he had no idea what was happening when Harry saved his life when the dementors attacked and he said that what happened to him was all something that Harry did. Even though Harry tried explaining more and more what actually happened Mr. Dursley wouldn't beleive him and he just continued to take things away from Harry.

6. I think that Dumbledore is going to continue to get weirder and Harry is going to feel really uncomfortable because Dumbledore is the only person that Harry can talk to. I also think that Sirius Black is going to play a huge part later in the book.
