CHAPTER DISCUSSION: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Chapter 5 : The Dementor

The Weasleys, Harry and Hermione all make their way to Kings Cross in Ministry
cars, where Mr. Weasley tells Harry not to go looking for Sirius Black. Harry,
Ron and Hermione travel in a compartment with Professor Lupin, which is handy as
Harry faints when Dementors board the train. Harry is embarrassed by his
perceived weakness, especially when Malfoy finds out. Professor Dumbledore
explains about Dementors, and announces the appointments of Lupin and Hagrid as
teachers.

Questions:
Why do you think Mr. Weasley tells Harry not to look for Black?

How well do you think the Dementor scene worked after the build-up, and why?
What did Dumbledore's speech add to our knowledge of Dementors?

Chocolate is good for you. Discuss.

Do you suppose Remus has been a teacher before?
What do you imagine are the requirements for teachers at Hogwarts?

What did you make of Ron & Harry noticing Professor Snape's expression of
loathing of Lupin?
