Chapter two ladies, is for me the turn of a new page, although it is not that obvious. It is in this chapter where Harry speaks to the snake at the zoo on Dudley’s birthday and he begins to take his dreams a bit more serious and that for me is the turn of the tide, pity he is not supposed to ask anything about his upbringing.
Uncle Vernon and aunt Petunia are very weird according to me because, they seem to know that the potters are wizards with the way they panic when the Potters are mentioned and how they relate strange things happening to the Potters, Like when they say in chapter one, that they would not want their son to mix with the likes of the Potters son. But throughout this chapter they hardly mention it to Harry, instead they warn him on all the extraordinary things that happen around him and he is to blame for them. Chapter two still outlines Harry’s horrible treatment and how sad he feels, for me it evoked a lot of emotion and made me see Dudley as the first element to the theme, “good versus Evil”. In this case Dudley is the evil side of it all, I hate how he pretends to cry to his parents and looks over at Harry with a smile, which was just creepy. But I think that is another way the writer shows us how cunning this character is.
And if Harry has survived the wrath of YOU-KNOW-WHO then what is the likes of Dudley Dursley?
J.K. Rowling’s is a geniuses this book makes for a great read.

ReplyDeleteHey Kamo i think you got that spot on here already we can see the character of harry potter developing. We already get a hint of the magic that is found in this book. We learn about a very insecure little boy not knowing what may happen this is only one aspect of the character though. Cant wait to see how he develops and grows throughout the book.

What I cant get is the way Mrs Dursly hated the Potters because of their wizadry.They are blood sister's,maybe just maybe there is a drop of wizard blood on her also, dont you think so ladies. I guess I have an over active imagination.Any way what happened with harry while he was talking to the snake, when the glass opened and the snake went out cheered Harry.if though he could not know how it happened it brought a smile to his face, and left spoiled Durdley wet and angry inside the snakes house glass. Harry got his one minute revenge with the devil Durdley.

I know what you mean Harry i think the Aunt did not like how her Sister became a witch and she did't that might be the reason.
