Chapter Questions:
1) Did you enjoy ‘The Whomping Willow’? Did Harry and Ron’s stupidity drive you crazy?
2) Did you enjoy ‘Gilderoy Lockart’?
3) Do you think Molly really wouldn’t of gotten Ron a new wand if he owled for one? Having a broken wand for a whole year negatively impacted Ron’s grades.
4) Surely Harry would off already come across a Howler by now? I doubt that Ron is the first person to receive one since they joined Hogwarts. Neville even says ‘My Gran sent me one once.’ And I’m sure Fred and George have gotten a fair few…
5) Do you think that Dobby had anything to do with the fact that the Invisibility button wasn’t working?
6) Upon rereading this chapter, did you feel sorry for the other characters? Hermione was probably sitting by herself in a compartment for seven hours wondering where Harry and Ron were. Molly and Arthur were probably freaking out about where Harry and Ron were and they couldn’t get out of the station for a while. They then saw that their means of getting home was gone.
7) Where did Arthur know how to drive from?
8) Do you think that Arthur knew that the car would gain a personality once he charmed it?
9) I’ve been thinking about what River said last chapter about the Gnomes. It seems to me that Arthur is a softie when it comes to creatures while Molly doesn’t treat them as well. Arthur feels sorry for the gnomes, Molly doesn’t. Molly sends Errol on a trip even though she knows he is in no condition to make that trip. It seems like the children follow Molly’s footsteps, Ron isn’t concerned about Errol and later on House Elf conditions. Do you agree?
10) I’m a bit surprised that Colin Creevey is the first time someone asked Harry for a photo. Harry is one of the most popular wizards, wouldn’t a lot more people want proof they met him?
What are your thoughts?
