Harry Potter Challenge Blog #2

So...this weeks reading has gone by exceptionally slow. The fifth book is so long, so I understand why J.K. Rowling is really taking her time to get to the dramatic die hard scene in the novel, she has to keep her fans on edge. I particularly just want to plow my way through the book, but I want to understand what is going on right now. You know, I never knew a villain that wore pink before this novel came out. Professor Umbridge is an evil little lady in pink. I always hated that color, she makes me hate it even more. Don't give up Harry! Evil never wins!

Spell of the day: Silencio
A spell to cause something (or someone) to become silent. As Hermoine instructs Ron, this spell is done with a sharp jab of the wand, not a wave.

     So today I have struggled with reading. There is just so much to be done and I have yet to read ten more chapters in the fifth book. In a weeks time I have completed four of the Harry Potter novels. Yes, you can say I am addicted. J.K. Rowling is a very talented writer if I must say so myself. I do get annoyed with all the description at times, but they do come in handy when I try to picture the next weapon that sets out to kill Harry and his friends. Well, off to reading again!
