Reading Log

Book: Harry Potter (Refreshing My Mind)
Pages So Far: 1-115
Chapter: 7


     So far, the Dursleys, the rude, unconsiderate uncle, aunt, and cousin, had enough of all the letters Harry was being sent to enter Hogwarts Academy. When Harry was a baby, a dark wizard, Voldemort, killed his mother & father, but yet did not kill Harry. Nobody knows how Harry survived, but he just did. Everyone knows his name, but because of the Dursleys, he knows nothing. Now the Dursleys had moved far far away, but yet Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts had found Harry. Hagrid wished a Happy Birthday, as it was Harry's, and got so mad at the Dursleys for what the did, he made Dudley have a pig tail, which made the Dursleys all terrified of magic even more.
    
     Harry went with Hagrid to shop for all he needed. He went to the bank to get some of his money, and bought all he needed at thye Hogwarts shops. He needed books, a wand, an animal (Owl, toad, or cat.) and other things for magic. When he got back to the Dursleys, Harry asked his uncle to drive him to the train station, where he would abord station 9 3/4 platform to go to Hogwarts. Strangly, his uncle agreed, and dropped him off with his belongings at the station, laughing as he didn't see the platform of 9 3/4. Harry soon met the Weasleys and eventually got on the train, by running into the pillar between 9 & 10.
