Description

Chapter 2 - The ScarNo, the thing that was bothering Harry was that the last time his scar had hurt him, it had been because Voldemort had been close by… but Voldemort couldn’t be here, now…the idea of Voldemort lurking in Privet Drive was absurd, impossible…Q1 - Why do you think Harry’s scar hurts whenever things like that happen?Q2 - Do you think Voldemort knows where Harry lives, and would he ever attack the house?As far as he knew, he was the only living person to have survived a curse like Voldemort’s.Q3 - Do you think there is anyone else alive or even dead who has survived a curse like Voldemorts?Q4 - If you had to choose a bird to deliver mail to you, which bird are you picking?Chapter 3 - The InvitationThe school nurse had seen what Aunt Petunia's eyes – so sharp when it came to spotting fingerprints on her gleaming walls, and in observing the comings and goings of the neighbors – simply refused to see: that, far from needing extra nourishment, Dudley had reached roughly the size and weight of a young killer whale.Q1 - What are your thoughts on Dudley? Q2 - So far in this series, if there is a character who is irredeemable, who would it be?Q3 - Is it animal abuse to keep sending Errol to deliver your mail?Q4 - What do you normally eat for breakfast?“Look at this,” he growled. He held up the envelope in which Mrs Weasley’s letter had come, and Harry had to fight down a laugh. Every bit of the letter was covered in stamps except for a square inch on the front, into which Mrs Weasley had squeezed the Dursleys’ address in minute writing.Q5 - Who do you think is going to win the Quidditch World Cup?A slight spasm crossed Uncle Vernon's large purple face. The mustache bristled. Harry thought he knew what was going on behind the mustache: a furious battle as two of Uncle Vernon's most fundamental instincts came into conflict. Allowing Harry to go would make Harry happy, something Uncle Vernon had struggled against for thirteen years. On the other hand, allowing Harry to disappear to the Weasleys' for the rest of the summer would get rid of him two weeks earlier than anyone could have hoped, and Uncle Vernon hated having Harry in the house. To give himself thinking time, it seemed, he looked down at Mrs. Weasley's letter again.“If they say yes, send Pig back with your answer pronto, and we’ll come get you at five o’clock on Sunday. If they say no, send Pig back pronto and we’ll come get you at five o’clock on Sunday anyway.”Q6 - Harry eats his birthday cake…how long can he hide birthday cake under his floorboards before it starts to get moldy and inedible?He was going to the Quidditch World Cup. It was hard, just not, to feel worried about anything — even Lord Voldemort.Q7 - Should Harry be more worried about Lord Voldemort and his scar?Chapter 4 - Back to the BurrowQ1 - Thoughts on the Dursley’s nerve and annoyance in the beginning of this chapter?Q2 - Are the Weasleys wrong for being so late?Q3 - Is the Floo Network a normal practice…to show up in someone's living room just unannounced?The electric fireplace shot across the room as the boarded-up fireplace burst outwards, expelling Mr Weasley, Fred, George, and Ron in a cloud of loose chippings.Q4 - What are your feelings on all of this happening?Indeed, from the tone of his voice when he next spoke, Harry was quite sure that Mr Weasley thought Dudley was quite as mad as the Dursleys thought he was, except that Mr Weasley felt sympathy rather than fear.Q5 - What do you think of the idea of having sympathy on people who are different from you? What should you do?Q6 - What is the rudest anyone has ever acted toward you?Q7 - Petunia in particular seems very terrified of magic, why do you think that she is?Chapter 5 - Weasleys’ Wizard WheezesQ1 - Would you rather work with dragons or work at gringotts?“It isn’t funny!” Mr Weasley shouted. “That sort of behavior seriously undermines wizard-muggle relations! I spend half my life campaigning against the mistreatment of Muggles, an
