POST#13: HARRY POTTER!



Hey! Maria here with my cousin Julia, the ultimate "Harry Potter" fan and expert in my family. 
Julia: Hey! This 7-book series started in an every day place- a coffee shop!
Maria: Is this book series good?
Julia: Yeah or at least I enjoyed it. 
Maria: Tell me the first book's plot.
Julia: Well the whole thing started when Harry was a baby when the darkest wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort or He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named or You-Know-Who killed Harry's mom and dad and tried to kill him but he survived with only a scar and some of Voldemort's powers.  Now he has to go live with his aunt and uncle and his cousin on his mom's side. Their greatest fear is someone to find out he is a wizard. So they keep this a secret from him and make up a cover-story that his parents died in a car crash. On his 11th birthday Hagrid a half-giant-half-wizard tells him EVERYTHING. And brings him to Hogwarts School of Whitchcraft and Wizardry where he is sorted into Gryffindor house and plays Seeker on the Gryffindor quidditch team. At Hogwarts he meets Ron Weasley and Hermionie Granger and find out things they should not know.
Maria: Now I'll tell the second book's plot. Harry gets rescued from his aunt and uncle by Fred, George, and Ron in their flying car. The gateway to Platform 9 3\4 seals itself, so Harry and Ron have no choice but to fly the car to Hogwarts, where history is to repeat itself. Harry comes across the diary of  Tom Marvolo Riddle, which responds to Harry.
Julia: In the third year at Hogwarts Hagrid becomes the Care of magical creatures professor where Harry becomes slightly attached to Buckbeak the Hippogriff. That's not the only new class this year Divination which is Harry's least favorite class because the professor keeps predicting his death- no matter what they are studying. (Palm reading, Tea leaves, or crystal balls.) But that's the last thing on his mind- How's Hermionie getting to all of her classes when she has about four classes a term??   
Maria: The Triwizard Tournament happens every 100 years or so. Three schools are staying at Hogwarts. You have to be 17 years old or older to enter your name into The Goblet of Fire. Then how did Harry's name get in there?? Now Harry has to do 3 challenges high above his skill level. The big mystery is who put Harry's name in The Goblet of Fire.
Julia: Now Harry has to battle dementors and go to trial with the Ministry of magic to know if he's expelled or not.He learns about a new group called The Order of the Pheonix to fight Voldemort where Mrs. Weasley continues to fuss over Harry. Slowly Voldemort takes over Harry's brain and he has nightmares that show what is happening with Voldemort and Harry knows what emotions Voldemort is feeling.
Maria: There is a new professor who can turn in a chair, taking Snape's place as potion's master, while Snape is teaching Defense Against The Dark Arts. Harry gets a book that helps him make the correct potions. Ron becomes the Gryffindor Keeper for the Quidditch team, Lavender becomes Ron's girlfriend, which drives Hermoine crazy and sends birds after him.
Julia: In this epic finally the three do not go to Hogwarts instead they go hunting for horrcruxes. Harry and Hermoine forget about Ron and he runs away but comes to their aid in the end.
