Reading Response

Harry Potter 4.24.08
This week i read Harry Potter yet again. But this week was even more exciting. I read two or three chapters that were super entertaining.
Hagrid took Harry shoping for his school stuff. The list was:
UNIFORM
First year students will require:
1. Three sets of plain work robes (black)
2. One plain pointed hat (black) for day wear
3. One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or similar)
4. One winter cloak (black, silver fastenings0
COURSE BOOKS
All students should have a copy of each of the following:
-The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1)
By Miranda Goshawk
-A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot
-Magucal Theory by Adalbert Waffling
-A Beginners Guide to Transfiguration by Emeric Switch
-One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi

OTHER EQUIPMENT
1 wand
1 cauldron (pewter, standard size 2)
1 set glass or crystal phials
1 telescope
1 set bass scales
Students may also bring an owl OR a cat OR a toad
PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS
ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS
To get to London to buy all of the things on the list, they had to visit The Leaky Cauldron. A sort of bar for witches and wizards. When they entered, everybody was shaking his hand. Then they entered an alley and Hagrid gave a tap on a brick wall and the wall parted, showing Diagon Alley. They succsefully purchase everything on the list and Harry returns with the Dursley's until September the first, where he journeys to platform nine and three quarters. What happens next is what i don't know.
