IKR? And it continues to plague him later on. That's actually a thing I hate in the later books.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Starting!

I started as well but will continue reading after I finish working

That’s cool, don’t worry about it!

Chapter 1-2:
(view spoiler)[
1.
I wonder what the exact relevance to the backstory of the Riddles and Frank was. Or whether it was just to set the scene? I hope there’s more to it, it seemed like a lot of detail just to explain that Voldemort is hiding in his family’s old house and killed the gardener who overheard them.

2.
I’m also a little confused about the 3 Riddles.
Were the three who died Voldemort’s great-grandparents and grandfather?
We know that...
- A man and his parents lived in the house
- The son who lived in the house was named Tom
- Voldemort-Riddle was named after his grandfather
So is that Tom his grandfather? It can’t be his father because otherwise he would have said his mother named him after his father, rather than grandfather.

Edit: Never mind, I think it’s his dad.

I’m guessing the shady teenager Frank saw was Voldemort-Riddle? The grown up man couldn’t be him because fifty years ago, Voldemort-Riddle was still at school and opened the Chamber of Secrets.

3.
I also love that Harry asked Hermione, Ron and Hagrid for help with the food and they all sent him cake and snacks haha that’s bloody brilliant.

Chapters 1-5

(view spoiler)[ So the first two chapters I was feeling kind of lost and wasn't understanding the plot hahaha. Hopefully throughout the story it will be better explained.

Harry is staying two weeks with the Weasleys with Hermaine and they are going to see the Quidditch World Cup. (hide spoiler)]

[Deceptively]

Chapter 3-5:
(view spoiler)[
I love that Harry’s feeling super happy right now. The moment Mr W made Vernon say bye to Harry was so great!

We finally meet Bill and Charlie. Never expected Bill to be like a punk-rock type guy.
Bill and Charlie having a fight with the tables in the air was a surprise, looks like Fred and George aren’t the only cheeky ones in the family then!

This was my favourite conversation so far and I couldn’t stop laughing:
‘I shudder to think what the state of my in-tray would be if I was away from work for five days.’ ‘Yeah, someone might slip dragon dung in it again, eh, Perce?’ said Fred. ‘That was a sample of fertiliser from Norway!’ said Percy, going very red in the face. ‘It was nothing personal!’ ‘It was,’ Fred whispered to Harry, as they got up from the table. ‘We sent it.’
😂 I live for Fred and George 😂

The first chapter definitely has a different feel to it.

(view spoiler)[ Yeah and it means that Voldemort is getting stronger! (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole]

Just started.

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[
Ooh, we’ve found out about portkeys!

Aw, Cedric was trying to say that it wasn’t Harry’s fault that he lost in their quidditch match last year but his dad wasn’t hearing any of it. Cute Cedric.
(hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[
I love hearing about lots more wizard jobs and meeting people from other countries.

I feel bad for Percy tho, Crouch doesn’t even know his name...
(hide spoiler)]

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[
It’s so cute we get to meet a girl house elf who knows Dobby!
I absolutely love that Dobby is demanding payment for being a house elf which mean he can’t find work at the moment haha
(hide spoiler)]

[Deceptively]

Chapter 9-11
(view spoiler)[
Ooh the hooded wizards are creepy!

Harry’s wand is gone. Was Malfoy a distraction? It seems weird that he came along around the time that it happened to go missing.

The differences between the house elves is interesting. Dobby would have given almost anything for clothes but a lot of other house elves seem to dread being given clothes and having nowhere to go.

Poor Ron with his weird dress robes!
(hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

chapters 6-10
(view spoiler)[ The Weasleys, Harry and Hermione go the portkey closest to the burrow to travel to the Quidditch World Cup.

I liked the fact that we get to know more people from the Wizarding World, like Mr Crouch , bagman and winky the house elf.

The world cup is won by Ireland. After the game there was a commotion where the hooded wizards (those who support Voldemort) are elevating the muggles and attacking the tents. in that commotion, Someone made the dark mark of Voldemort.

Thus, either voldemort himself made it or one of his supporters. personally I think that voldemort did it! (hide spoiler)]

[Deceptively]

Sasha wrote: "chapters 6-10"

(view spoiler)[Yeah but most of them ran away when they saw the dark mark and Voldemort is too weak right now so it’s a bit weird. (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

Chapter 11-15
(view spoiler)[ The Triwizard Tournament, which is a competition between representatives from each of the three largest European schools of wizardry (Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang), will take place this year at Hogwarts.

Mad-Eye Moody is the school's new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and he teaches them The Unforgivable Curses. Harry receives a letter from Sirius and he is travelling north. (hide spoiler)]

Can you give an opinion about the chapters? It’s hard to reply when you’ve only said what happens. At least for me, anyway.

Yeah I will try! sorry about that

[Deceptively]

Chapter 12-13
(view spoiler)[
Hopefully Mad-Eye Moody will last longer than the year as the new DADA teacher!

Malfoy’s not even trying to be funny anymore with his insults, just downright horrible. At least he still gets embarrassed, like when Moody turned him into a ferret hahaha

I wonder what Hermione is doing, always rushing off to the library but she says it’s not for work?

“Can I have a look at Uranus, too, Lavender?’ said Ron.’ I can’t believe Ron made that joke!😂

[Sasha]

Chapters 16-20
(view spoiler)[

Harry is one of the Triwizard Champion, so there are 4 champions in all. There should have only been 3. I think that Karkaroff might have put Harry's name in the goblet since he was one of the hooded wizards. He is possibly working with Voldemort and would like to kill harry in the competition. This was somewhat confirmed by Sirius.

Mad-eye moody is being really helpful to harry and he is keeping an eye on him. He seems that he is suspecting that something bad is going to happen related to Voldemort.

Throughout these chapters I really missed the bond between Harry and Ron, at least they forgave each other! (hide spoiler)]

I really wasn't expecting that comment from Ron ahhaha!

[Carolyn]

9% (Chapter 1-5): (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad that Harry is still with the Weasley's for the rest of the summer. Even though there was only a short amount about the Dursley's, I didn't want him to stay with them any longer. It's interesting to see Bill and Charlie Weasley and their personalities. They're different from the rest of the Weasley, and yet, they are so similar, too. (hide spoiler)]

I know, me too! I was so shocked haha

[Deceptively]

Chapter 14-15
(view spoiler)[
Ah Moody seems to be very exciting for them right now. Interesting that Harry is the only one who managed to resist the imperius curse and then Moody made him practise until he could fight it properly.

After Harry received his letter from Sirius that he was coming back and Harry went to bed, Neville was awake! Sneaky! I wonder how much he heard and if he’s going to tell them...

I’m so excited that the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang have arrived. They arrive so fancy in a flying carriage and on a boat that rises out of the lake. I feel like Hogwarts’ entrance would be so boring in comparison.

Yeah he was, but maybe he was named after one of his grandparents? Till now I'm still not sure about this part
