Harry Potter Journal 1

Chapter 1 Journal Question:

Who is Harry Potter and why is he so special? Why does Dumbledore, knowing that Harry won’t be welcomed or treated well, leave him with the Dursleys? Include information from Chapter 1 to support your answer.

 In the first chapter Harry Potter find's out that he is a wizard and goes to Hogwarts school and a bunch of letters are sent to him. Harry is bewildered to discover how famous among all wizards and be called as "The boy who lived". He is so special because that he gets to go to Hogwart school and find out that he is magic because hes a young wizard. Knowing that harry wont be welcomed or treated well because dumbledore doesnt think that he wouldnt be ready for magic yet or be a real wizard so Harry Potter stays with the Dursleys and they show him and teach him how to be a real magical wizard so then in a month the dursleys show harry how to pass through the magical wall to catch the Hogwarts express at the kings cross railway station. Harry's friend Hagrid then bursts through the door to tell harry what the dursley's what they have been keeping from him finding out that harry is a wizard and is accepted at Hogwarts. Harry becomes addicted to the Mirror's visions and is rescued by Professor Dumbledore, who explains that it shows what the viewer most desperately longs for. In the end I think that Harry potter would be so ready to be a great magical wizard after he gets all his magical powers from Hogwarts school.
