Important facts that have happened

Ok... I'm gonna mention the main things that have happened in the book until chapter 7 ("The Will of Albus Dumbledore") which I think are the next:
- Tonks and Remus got married.
- A teacher from Howarts was killed by Snape.
- Harry’s extended family (his uncle, aunt and cousin) had gone with a couple of wizards to a safe place to live.
- The death of Mad-Eye Moody by the "assassin spell" from Voldemort's wand.
- Somebody betrayed the Order’s plan of moving Harry to the Burrow.
- A part of the Will of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (Dumbledore’s complete name) was showed by the prime Minister to Hermione, Ron and Harry.
- Dumbledore lent them a deluminator, a book, the golden snitch and Gryffindor’s sword, but this last one wasn’t allowed to be out of the Howarts.
- Bill and Fleur will get married.
- Harry, Hermione and Ron want to go to find Voldemort’s Horcruxes.

The Will Of Albus Dumbledore

“The Will Of Albus Dumbledore”… Chapter seven… Page 111… a picture of Ginny and Harry heads the page. First of all like always, I wanted to imagine what the chapter will talk about or what was the will of the killed director? I thought it was Harry and Ginny getting married but I was wrong. At the beginning Harry dreamed he was looking for a man in a small town, far below of the mountain road where he was walking. But it was just another dream. That morning was the beginning of Harry’s birthday, and now he is seventeen years old; which means the Trace of non-letting he using magic is broken. Ron gave him his first birthday’s present, which was a book. Then he went downstairs and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley gave him the present they had saved to that occasion and was a watch of Mrs. Weasley’s brother. They told Harry that it was a tradition to give a wizard a watch when he comes of age. Then Hermione gave him a Sneakoscope. Fleur’s family gave him chocolates. When Hermione, Ron and Harry were going upstairs Ginny stopped Harry and asked him to go with her a moment and he did it. Inside her room both of them remembered when they had a relationship and then they kissed with so much love that Harry could only think in that moment with Ginny. Ron interrupted them and got upset with Harry by the fact that he was going to mess her sister up. Harry promised him not to do that again and they continued to the dinner in memory of Harry’s birthday. In the dinner many people went to the Burrow to celebrate the special day but there were somebody who was not expected to go… Scrimgeour (Magic’s Prime Minister). Scrimgeour asked Harry, Ron and Hermione for an interrogatory about why Dumbledore had decided to give them some of his stuffs. The problem was that the Ministry took the stuffs to examine them and looking for a code or something without the permission of their new owners. Ron kept with the Deluminator which Dumbledore had created before; Hermione with a book and Harry with the golden snitch and Gryffindor’s sword but Scrimgeour did not want to give him the sword. Harry didn’t agree with that and yell the Prime Minister of why he wasn’t doing something about Voldemort’s return. Ron’s parents arrived and stopped something that could be a big fight between Harry and Scrimgeour. Now they are trying to know why Dumbledore left them that things and didn’t tell Harry something about them.

The Ghoul in Pajama

The preparations for the wedding of Bill and Fleur began to be done in the whole chapter. Mrs. Weasley wanted to get it out of Hermione and Ron what they were off to do and then she would try with Harry and when both (Mrs. Weasley and Harry) talked, she said him that she and Hermione’s parents had the right to know where they will go instead going to Howarts. Harry replied her that it wasn’t an obligation to Ron and Hermione to go with him. After that, Mrs. Weasley gave orders; ask for helping, anything to keep Harry, Hermione and Ron away from each other. After a lot of work doing here and there, the three friends found time to get closed and talk to each other. They began to talk about things that Mad-Eye might have done to escape from death, by the fact that his body was not found yet. Harry tried to make them think again of going with him and in response, Hermione told him what she had done (difficult magic with his parents) and then Ron showed Harry his plan of leaving his ghoul in his own place (sleeping in his bed with a strange ill). Although this chapter is quite long and a little boring, has a moment when things began to be really interesting and this moment is when Hermione told Ron and Harry the main characteristics about the “Horcruxes”. They asked Hermione how she knew all of that information and she showed them some books that had information about the subject. In the past, Dumbledore had taken those books off the shelves and had kept with him. Then Hermione used a spell to take them and the spell worked easily. When they were talking about different ways to destroy the Horcruxes, they found that it will be difficult to get substances as destructive as basilisk venoms because those things were all dangerous to carry around with them. Mrs. Weasley interrupted the gathering and all of them went down stairs to receive Fleur’s family.

Fallen Warrior

In the beginning there were a lot of ideas running through my head just by the fact of looking at the title. When I began to read, Hagrid was on the ground without moving or saying something and for that reason I thought that the “Fallen Warrior” that the chapter is talking about was Hagrid but thanks God, he’s still alive. After the difficult battle that the members of the Order had against the Death Eaters, the plan was to meet again in Tonk’s parents’ house which was provided with protecting spells against the evil forces but the problem was that nobody had arrived before them and it was supposed that Harry and Hagrid were third to arrive the place. After a short conversation with Tonk’s parents, Lupin and George arrived but there was a serious problem: George’s face was covered in blood! George had lost one of his two ears. First of all, Lupin took Harry and asked him something that the real Harry would respond and that was because Lupin wanted to be sure that he was the real Harry Potter. Then Harry told him that Stan Shunpike (the bloke who was the conductor on the Knight Bus) was one of the Death Eaters and when Harry tried to disarm him, he got it and knew that he was the real Potter by the fact that he did not try to kill him. Then Lupin and Harry began to discuss because Lupin couldn’t believe that Harry was trying to disarm the Death Eaters instead of killing them. The fight ended when Harry said “I won’t blast people out of my way just because they’re there. That’s Voldemort’s job”. After that, the other Order’s members continued arriving except Mad-Eye (who was hit full in his face by the Voldemort’s curse) and Mundungus (who decided to escape when saw Vodemort’s face). All of them were trying to find out how Voldemort knew that they were going to move Harry that night and they thought that Mundungus was the traitor until Harry said that they needed to trust each other and that meant Mundungus wasn’t guilty. At the end of the chapter Harry had a vision of Ollivander (the guy who used to sell wands) begging to Voldemort for his life because he was wrong about his theory of the connection between Voldemort’s and Harry’s wands.

Too close to die...

Show time! After of reading a couple of paragraphs, I felt sleepy cause it was really boring! So I decided to stop reading because if I continued doing it, I would sleep on the book and maybe I decided that because it was late and I wanted to sleep. When I took the book again to continue on the reading, I was waiting for something new and amazing (fights between the good and evil for example). I kept reading faster and faster until the point when I found that bad thing began to happen and then I read more slowly and in sometimes two or more times because I couldn’t understand very well. Here Harry Potter got out of his uncle’s house with a plan that seemed to be perfect until it fails when the Order came out the hose and are intercepted by the bad people. It is so confusing the way that things happened that I needed to think very patiently trying to imagine what was going on.
Now I think that the strongest scenes begin to happen and I’m so excited of knowing what’s next!
Ohh!!! And the reason I wrote that title in this blog was because Harry was very close to die in hands of Voldemort!!!!

Third chapter...

I think this chapter is really shorter than the other ones, or I felt that because I could read it in a short time (not more than 2 hours) and it was really great for me because I do not have reading skills. I found this chapter really boring because there was for example the same character saying the same thing and also doing the same actions. One of the good ideas of the reading was that Dudley, Harry’s cousin, appeared not with the same attitude like in the other books and I found it very interesting because I thought he would never be a nice person. This is when I think the book gets more interesting and begins to show more action that it used to show. With the past of the reading the unknown words begin to disappear because they are the ones that I didn’t know from the beginning.

The second chapter...

Woooow this second chapter!!! How many things J. K. Rowling had been hiding and saving for the last book! It is really amazing, but it's not the first time she uses that kind of surprises to make the story more interesting. This chapter talks about a little of the Dumbeldore's never known past and also we can recognize that it is the first time that Harry emptys his trunk in all the time he has been in Howarts School. Oh yeah! I was describing all the things that were always hiden of Dumbeldore´s past and for example, I didn't know and asked myself if he had brothers or sisters, even a family but now I noticed that he did. I spent a lot of days trying to read this chapter because it uses a lot of words that I didn't know so I needed a dictionary next to me to understand that words (like in the first chapter). I hope to remember those words that I found out to keep reading faster that I do.

See you soon!!!
