The first step of getting their was getting past Fluffly, which was simple enough once Hagrid spilled the info; all you have to do is play some music. Next was to make sure you could get yourself untangled from the vines that would wrap around you- Hermione was the one to do this by putting a spell of flame onto it. Then they had to find the correct key out of the swarming flying keys above their heads- Harry figured out which one it was and was able to catch it with the help of the others. The next chamber held a large chessboard, but neither Harry nor Hermione were very good at chess, but Ron was excellent, he ended up sacrificing his own position so that they could have a checkmate and get Harry and Hermione through the door. The second to last room; it held a table of different bottles of potion and they had to decide which was which, with the help of a riddle. Hermione figured which bottle would let her go back and which one would let Harry continue. So they each went one way. Harry entered the last room; sure enough- there was someone in there. It wasn't Snape like they had figured, nor was it Voldemort. Who is it? It turns out that who they thought to be their biggest enemy was in fact an ally. Well, sort

    My initial response once I read the first third of the book was that I am really going to enjoy it. I thought that because it has a very strong plot which makes it very interesting for me to read. I like how the author gets right to the point, but still makes you think about what is going on in the novel. Another thing that made me think it will be a good book is that it is very realistic so I can relate to what’s happening and really understand the things going on.…

    I haven’t been reading much lately, but I like authors like Hawthorne, Melville, Thoreau, Poe, and Hemmingway. Among the Brits, there’s Robert Louis Stevenson, and Arthur Conan Doyle. My favorite playwright is Harold Pinter. His stuff is so weird, but poignant. One of the last books I began to read was Fleming’s Casino Royale. I ought to finish…

    The book series that really got me into reading was the Harry Potter series. I hadn’t been much of a reader beforehand, but suddenly I was immersed in a faraway world filled with magic and adventure. New possibilities opened up for me, books could take me anywhere I wanted; I could escape my boring everyday life and travel through space and time into a million different lives and experiences far more rich in adventure and love and drama and magic than anything I could hope for in the real world. The Harry Potter series showed me how much a book could offer, and ever since then I have loved reading.…

    The amount of action and adventure did make for a good book however but, Harry Potter really sealed the deal. J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was more developed and had a more intricate plot. However if you want to read a whole series, Harry Potter isn’t a good book to start with considering so much happened in the past two books. Warriors is a good start to the long story if you are interested in the Warriors series. However the Harry Potter series is a more exciting, mysterious read and I recommend reading…

    My Math teacher made a difference on my reading life. He always had good books to lend me. My appreciation for reading increased with many books he suggested. I’m very glad he was in my life to help to develop my reading skills. Although, I had to learn a new language when I moved to United Sates. I still enjoy reading. My favorite books are the fiction books. I still enjoyed the feeling of traveling to different worlds and be part of adventures. If a book has a kingdom, king, historical pieces, new languages, weird people, villains, and a hero, that it will be a book I’ll…

    How I Learned To Read

    From Hardy Boys to Geronimo Stilton, I remember having every single book that came out from the series, and reading it from front to back. As time progressed and middle school hit, I usually just read the really long books such as the Unfortunate Series of Events and Harry Potter Series in order to finish all my points for the semester, but it made me go out of my comfort zone and actually dedicate my time and attention to the book. My love for reading faded away as I went into high school, with mainly time and technology being the main reasons for my decline in reading. As high school came along, getting time to read was hard due to my schedule during the school years. Although I hardly read independently, I still enjoy reading the news online and short stories I find on Twitter, which are way more convenient and quicker to read. I also try to keep up with the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series during the summer and would like to finish the reading the Series of Unfortunate Events books, to find out what happens to Violet, Klaus, and Sunny after all these…
