Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire

Author: Joanne K Rowling

Hook Question: Who has put Harry in the Goblet of Fire to enter him in to the Triwizard Tournament read this to find out.

Blurb: On halloween night, the Goblet of Fire Spits out the names of the school champions for the Triwizard tournament but then suddenly a fourth name comes out of the goblet and it is Harry Potter so he will have to compete against Viktor Krum the Bulgarian seeker and Fleur Delacour who is part Veela and Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff. A lot of chaos was ensued because of Harry being to young to enter by himself and everyone in Gryffindor is ecstatic but him and his best friend Ron are put apart.

Text to Text: He uses the "Accio" spell more then once in all the books.

Text to Self: I have overslept something before.

Text to World: Some people believe dragons are real.

Like all others there might not be a message 

I would say this is for year 4 and above

 

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Author: Joanne K Rowling

Hook Question: Did you think that Sirius Black could be Harry's Godfather?

Blurb: Now after a long summer Harry is back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft with his trusty friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley but does not know of the trouble in the wizard world because of Sirius Black and how he escaped from the prison of Azkaban.

Text to text: In The lion the witch and the wardrobe there is a witch that does magic just like in Harry potter.

Text to self: Harry potter is a boy who likes going to school and loves talking with his friends.

Text to world: In England they go to kings cross station to get the Hogwarts express and normal people go to kings cross to get on a train also.

The author might of been trying to tell you that prisoners in the wizard world can also be prisoners from the normal world and maybe suggesting that magic is real.

I would recommend this book for all ages above 8.

Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone

                       Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone

Author: Joanne K Rowling

Hook Question: Did you think Harrys life could turn into a magic land at school?

Blurb: When mysterious letters start arriving on his doorstep, Harry Potter has never heard of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

They are swiftly confiscated by his aunt and uncle.Then, on Harry’s eleventh birthday, a strange man bursts in with some important news: Harry Potter is a wizard and has been awarded a place to study at Hogwarts.

Text to Text: They use a lot of spells in all the Harry Potter books.
Text to Self: When I First Started School I Was Also Scared.
Text to World: People in the world have to get books for school.

I think that in this book there is no message but I think it is for entertainment and fun reading.

I Recommend this for years 4-all above because it is scary for years 1-3 or younger but year 4 and above can cope with it.

Harry Potter And Chamber Of Secrets

               

                 Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets

                                      Author: Joanne. K. Rowling

    Hook Question: Did you ever think that magic could be real?

Blurb: Forced to spend his summer holidays with his muggle relations, Harry Potter gets a real shock when he gets a surprise visitor: Dobby the house-elf, who warns Harry Potter against returning to Hogwarts, for terrible things are going to happen. Harry decides to ignore Dobby's warning and continues with his pre-arranged schedule. But at Hogwarts, strange and terrible things are indeed happening: Harry is suddenly hearing mysterious voices from inside the walls, muggle-born students are being attacked, and a message scrawled on the wall in blood puts everyone on his/her guard - "The Chamber Of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies Of The Heir, Beware" .

Text to Text: Harry Potter is in all 7 Harry Potter books.
Text to Self: I have a 7 hour train ride like the Hogwarts Express.
Text to World: Harry Potter is about magic and Magicians do magic tricks in the world.

I think that Joanne K Rowling was trying to make a message that magic is real but at special times and to special people.

I recommend this book for the age group of year 4- all above because it is not as high level as some year 5 books.

Text to text/world/self: By the way, Trap likes to play jokes on people like the great blob , the mouse's body is human mix, most of the mouse heads have  the same shape.
This story good  but its kind of  boring.

I think this book is suitable for year 3 because in y3, most of them like space and adventures.

Geronimo stilton   The Christmas toy factory

Hook question: In Christmas , Geronimo has a lots of work to do in his office(The rodent's gazette) , and he had no time to celebrate but one night when he slept , an elf took him to Santa's factory...

Blurb:

Ho , ho , ho! I love Christmas in new mouse city .
But this year , there was just too much work to do at my newspaper ,  the Rodent's Gazette . I was so busy , I could hardly even squeak! And my friends and family were getting their tails in a twist because I didn't have time to celebrate . Cheese niblets! If only I had my own team of reindeer and could fly far, far away to Santa's toy factory.... 

Text to text/self/world: Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus are both fat , I never saw a mouse Santa Claus  before and the reindeers are cute like the ones in real life .

The book is kind of funny but some parts are boring .

I recon that this book suits 8 over because I think when people are eight , they start to like and read it.
