In this chapter... Harry is able to do his homework in the bright sunshine at Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor and has fun people watching. Florean, the owner of the shop, even assists Harry with his homework about medevil withburnings. Harry sees that a new broom has come out, The Firebolt, in Quality Quidditch Supplies. It’s the best model available, and Harry has to muster all his strength not to spend his money on the superb broom.
Harry meets up with Ron and Hermione at last. They are also staying at the Leaky Cauldron too. Hermione buys a cat, Crookshanks, from the Magical Menagerie. Crookshanks seems to take a instant dislike to Scabbers, Ron’s rat. Ron buys some rat tonic for Scabbers, who has been looking sickly.
After dinner that night, Harry overhears Mr and Mrs Weasley having an argument about him. Harry learns that Sirius Black has a vendetta against him, and might be coming to Hogwarts to kill him. He also learns that dementors have been stationed outside Hogwarts for protection against Black.
“I thought we’d seen the worst when we bought two hundred copies of the Invisible Book Of Invisibility – cost a fortune, and we never found them…”
What is a new school subject for Harry’s third year – Potions, Care of Magical Creature or Defence Against the Dark Arts? Care of Magical Creatures
Chapter 5: The Dementor
In this chapter... It’s time to return to Hogwarts. As theWeasley’s, Harry and Hermione board the Hogwarts Express, Mr Weasley takes Harry aside. He tries to tell Harry to be careful, and Harry admits that he overheard the argument the night before and that he’s not that afraid. Harry tells Ron and Hermione about Black’s vendetta. There is a middle-aged man sharing their compartment – the initials on his case says Professor R. J. Lupin. Harry, Hermione and Ron guess that this is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) teacher.
At dusk, the train stops unexpectedly. They haven’t reached the station yet. All the lights go out. They barely make out someone boarding the train. Then the mysterious thing opens their car door. Harry hears screaming and then collapses onto the floor. When he comes to he feels very sick and very ashamed. No one else collapsed or got so sick. Ginny and Neville have also entered the compartment. Professor Lupin tells him it was a dementor that came onto the train, and that they suck all the happiness out of people. He gives everybody in the compartment chocolate – it helps them recover from a Dementor attack.
Malfoy is positively gleeful when he hears that Harry collapsed on the train, and immediately starts imitating him. At the welcoming feast, Professor Dumbledore announces that Professor Lupin is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and that Hagrid has been promoted to Care of Magical Creatures professor. Also, Dementors will be guarding Hogwarts, while Sirius Black is loose.
“Well, I am sorry to tell you that Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, retired at the end of last year in order to enjoy more time with his remaining limbs.”
What colour are the Ministry cars? Dark green
Chapter 6: Talons And Tea Leaves
In this chapter... It is the first day of lessons. Third year start lots of new lessons. Harry, Hermione seems to be trying to set a new record for doing lessons. There are times when she has 3 classes at once. She mysteriously doesn’t explain to Harry and Ron how she plans to accomplish this.
Harry, Ron and Hermione take their first ever Divination Class. They are taught by Professor Trelawnley. Harry is dismayed when Professor Trelawney predicts that Harry has the Grim in his teacup. The Grim is a black dog that is an omen of death, and this means Harry doesn’t have long to live. Harry remembers that he thought he saw a black dog, lurking in Magnolia Cresent, just before the Knight Bus arrived.
Hagrid seems eager to teach the third years about Magical creature. Unfortunately, the Gryffindors share this class with the Slytherins. The first magical creature is Hippogriffs – half bird, half horse. Harry is brave enough to approach one, called Buckbeak, and is allowed to fly him. The class take a disastrous turn when Malfoy, refusing to listen to Hagrid’s instructions, insults Buckbeak, and gets injured by one. Hagrid is devastated that his first class goes so badly. The trio cheer him up by telling him it’s all Malfoy’s fault for not listening to the directions.
“You look in excellent health to me, Potter, so you will excuse me if I don’t let you off homework today. I assure you that if you die, you need not hand it in.”
When you approach a Hippogriff should you – wave at it, bow to it or fall to your knees? Bow to it
