Reading journal-2(Chapter 8)

I started enjoying the book 'Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone'. Until now, the main plot is that Harry had parents who were magicians and his parents were killed by a dark wizard.

He was sent to his uncle(uncle bernon).

His uncle and aunt did'nt like him because they thought that he was extraordinary and it was embarassing to hang out with him. Their sun Dudley also bullied Harry.

Harry did'nt know that his parents were magicians and they were murdered by a dark wizard because his aunt and uncle never told him.

Then, Hagrid the gamekeeper of Hogwarts come to Harry and told him all about his parents and that he is a wizard. Harry was astonished when he heard that, but he started believing Hagrid after he saw magics.

Harry made new friends, Ron and Hermione in Hogwart. Ron's family was poor and Hermione's parents were muggles.(Known as people who can't do magic)

Freshmans had to be sorted out to four dormitories Gryffindor, Ravenclaw,Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Harry and his friend, Ron and Hermione eventually were sorted out to Gryffindor and they were relieved that they were not sorted to Slytherin ,because Slytherin was related to dark magic.

Until now, I think the author described the settings and surroundings delicately. It made me imagine and made me keep reading the book. It was also interesting to me that magicians call people who can't do magic 'muggle'. I think I can finish this book in 2months. Can't wait to read!!
