Harry Potter Chapter 15 Journal


Chapter 15 Journal

When Ronan tells Harry, “the forest holds many secrets,” what do you think he means? What do you think the planets are predicting that causes Firenze to hope they are being read incorrectly? 

When Ronan tells Harry, "The forest holds many secerets" I think it means that the planets and star hold many secerets like your future so to let Harry die would be a disaster because maybe Harry is destined for great things. I think the planets are predicting that they are going to die and voldemort is going to kill all innocent mythical animals, like unicorns and Harry Potter. That's why I'm predicting that Firenzo reads the planets incorrectly. I also think that Firenzo might be holding thing from everyone and protect Harry from getting hurt or killed.

Harry Potter chapter 14

Chapter 14 Journal

Hagrid seems to be very attached to Norbert. Consider the description of Hagrid’s behaviour in Chapter 14 and explain what we can learn about Hagrid as a person through his relationship with his pet. Have you ever met anyone who is a “little crazy” over his/her pet?


Hagrid seemed to be attached too much because he is treating the dragon  as  though he is the dragons mommy. He helped it hatch and fed it even though it could burn his house down. No, I have never met anyone who is overly crazy about his or her pet.  Something we can learn from Hagrid as a person and his pet is that we know that some animals are dangerous and should not be pets. They could have some type of disease or might be dangerous in the house depending on what power they have. So we can learn from  Hagrid's mistake what kind of pet would be save to keep.

Harry Potter chapter 13

Chapter 13 Journal

Think about the power of the Philosopher’s Stone and how having one would affect your life. If you were immortal, what would life be like? If you owned an object that could turn metal into gold, how would your life be different? In your journal, identify at least 1 pro and 1 con of owning the Philospher’s Stone

I think having the power of the philosopher stone would be mainly a good thing. If I were immortal and lived forever I could have an awsomely amount of friends. If I owned a object that could turn to gold or money I would be able to survive and have money to live and travel anywhere in the world. I would be able to help people in poor countries and charities in need. One con of owning the philosopher stone would be  there would be people who would be desperate and asking for money and my life  would be in danger from people wanting to steal the philosopher stone.

Chapter Twelve: Summary Paragraph Writing Activity


            The Main Idea is that Harry had the most awesome celebration and Christmas dinner in all his life. Firstly, the food was amazing. “A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce -- and stacks of wizard crackers every few feet along the table”.(149)  The dessert was fabulous flaming Christmas puddings with hidden money in the slices. In addition, Harry received the best presents ever. He received, “luminous balloons, a Grow-Your-Own-Warts kit, and his own new wizard chess set.”(150)  Also, Harry had never seen Professor Flitwick and Dumbledore joking around.  Hagrid and Professor McGonagall  having a blast with Hagrid kissing Professor McGonagall on the cheek. In conclusion, the Hogwarts Christmas was Harry’s most wonderful Christmas ever.

Chapter 12 Journal

If you looked into the Mirror of Erised, what would you see? In your blog, identify and describe your “deepest, most desperate desire.”

If I looked into the Mirror of Erised I would picture myself looking older and having more sibilings and also seeing myself at  collage. I would see myself wearing attractive hair and makeup.
