Just Right

1. Right now, Harry is taking private lessons with Dumbledore in hopes that they will find a weakness to defeat Voldemort. This is one of their first lessons. Harry and Dumbledore go into the Pensive, which is basically your memories in liquid form that you can re-live. Harry and Dumbledore see a man named Bob Odgen, who works for the Ministry of Magic going to a man's house that has a snake nailed to the front of the door. He knocks on the door and someone jinxes him.

2. I really enjoy this book as well as the others in the series. It is very descriptive, like all the other books in the series, but the plot in this one is a little strange. Kind of like they get sidetracked a little, and start to drift away from the main plot, like when they go to Hogsmeade, the wizard town they get privalege to go to once in a while.

3. I don't see much of a theme in this book, but I can still see trust as a major theme. Harry trust Ron and Hermionie more than anyone he knows, except maybe Dumbledore. Harry tells his friends everything. He relies on them, and they rely on him back. Also, Harry trusts Dumbledore that they will find out Voldemort's weakness, and destroy him for good.

4. My favorite character is Harry. He is noble, loyal, smart, and nice. He is noble because he would be willing to sacrifice himself for another person. He is loyal to Dumbledore because he does what he tells him, no matter what the command is.

5. My least favorite character is Rufus Schrimager, the new Minister of Magic. He tries to get information out of Harry when he goes on christmas break. Also, he wants to use Harry as a tool to make the Ministry of Magic look like they know what they're doing when really, they don't.

6. I think the house that was in the pensive blongs to Voldemort when he was younger because the memory is old, and there is a snake on the door to the house. Voldemort was the heir of Salazar Slytherin, the co-founder of Hogwarts, and was also the maker of Slytherin house, which likes snakes.
