Reading Response- April 16, 2008

Dear Hermoine,
You are definitely my favorite character. I love how you think of creatures other than yourself. I feel very sorry for the house elves that are always working. It is obviously not fun at all to be a practical slave to humans. However, from the information that I have heard about elves they are happy doing a lot of work. I know that you are trying to help with your club and all but they are happy and that is how they should be.
Another thing that I like about you is that you are a very kind and helpful friend. She are never on either side of Ron or Harry even if they are mad a t each other. You also always seem to have a cure to all the bad spells they use. One reason out of many that makes you a good friend is that you stick up for them. When Draco Malfoy starts talking to you guys you are always ignoring him and not believing anything that he says.
With loyalty, helping, sticking up for, and your kindness I would definitely want you to be one of my friends.

From,

Bailey H.

Do you agree with the actions that one of the characters did? Would you do it differently?

I would have definitely handled the situation that Ron and Harry went through after Harry was one of the champions. Ron got furious when he saw Harry's name got picked out of the Goblet. He started to get mad when he thought Why didn't my best friend put my name in the Goblet? That was nice. Trying to sneak past the age line but not put your friends name in without even telling him. If I were Ron I would have definitely stayed more calm and asked Harry a few questions. I would have asked, "How did you get passed the age line" and "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to enter." I think that the situation would have been handled a lot calmer, nicer, and better.
