Week 11, Post 2: Harry Potter Part 2.

I thought it was very nice of Harry and Ron to go after Hermione when they heard about the Troll and knew she didn't know. I liked Hermione and I thought it was rude of Ron to say she didn't have friends and nobody liked her. It would be hard to be a first year living without your parents and only knowing one other person. I thought it was good that she was out going and tried to talk to them in the beginning. I really think that the boys saving Hermione from the Troll helped their friendship a lot, especially after them not talking for a really long time. Then when Hermione showed her loyalty by lying to get the boys of out trouble, that was cute. I kind of still think that they will all have their differences, but I also think they will grow together and become great friends. I still think Rowling does a great job at describing things as they happen in the story. Sometimes I will read little parts like the troll knocking the sinks off the wall, and think about the movie. I kind of feel like the movie goes off of book very well, although I haven't seen the movie in a long time, I can kind of remember things as they are said in the book.

I really hope to watch the movie after reading the book to see the differences and see if I like the movie or the book better. I keep thinking that the movie did a good job when displaying the game of Quidditch, I don't know how they did it but it does seem like a pretty hard set to make and difficult to make all the characters fly. That would be nice to see in the Harry Potter Studios, the Quidditch field. I would also like to see how they did everything they did. I feel like a lot of it was animation, but they still had to get all of the players in the air and on a broom stick. It seems very difficult to make the movies because of all the abnormal things that happen, like a three headed dog or a troll. I am interested to see what Harry finds out about the trapdoor and hidden item the dogs were guarding.

For some reasons I think the next encounter they have with the dog/s will not be pleasant. Maybe Hermione will return the favor and come in and save Harry and Ron from being attached by the three headed dog. I feel like Harry and Ron are a little mischievous and will go after anything even if it means flirting with disaster. Maybe that's not how they want it to be, but it seems like they are always getting into some sort of trouble. On the bright side, they seem to have good intentions going down the disastrous path, but nobody gets to see that side, they just see Harry and Ron disobeying the rules. Maybe one day try will learn their lesson and try to stay out of trouble, but then again, the story wouldn't be so interesting with out the good intentional rule breaking.
