Lui:
<SNIP of the summary>
QUESTIONS:
What did you first think after reading about Harry's latest bout of underage
magic? Did you also think that he would be expelled or that Ministry wizards
would come to arrest him or at least to break his wand in half?

Alla:

I do not remember for sure, but I definitely did not expect him to be arrested.

Lui:
Realizing that both Ron and Hermione were abroad, where was the first place that
you thought Harry would go?

Alla:

If I remember correctly I thought somebody would take him to Hogwarts and would let him stay there for the summer.

Lui:
Harry senses something/someone watching him, he sees the outline of "something
very big, with wide, gleaming eyes," Who/what did you first think of upon
reading this?

Alla:

HA, I definitely remember that I did not think of this occasion as anything significant, silly me, in fact I may have thought that Harry just dreamt it up because he was scared, tired, etc, little did I know who it will be.


Lui:
We know that Harry's location is relatively unknown, so much that even DE's/
Voldemort couldn't swoop down on him during DH, even though "they know the
general area of the house,"- yet, Ron and the twins were able to rescue him in
CoS and now Sirius in his Animagus form was also able to locate him . How do
you think they know where to find Harry at all?

Alla:

LOL, do not get me started on Dumbledore's so called secrecy measures and protection. I do not think it was difficult for Ron and twins to do a little sleuthing, for Sirius harder of course, but he probably thought about all possible places where Harry could be during the summer and realized that it is at least worth looking at Lily's sister.


Lui:
Although we know from CoS that Azkaban inspires fear even to brave people (a.k.a
Hagrid), this is the first time the guards are mentioned. What was your first
idea of what/who they would be?

Alla:

I did not think of anything as scary as Dementors for sure, but knowing that Harry recently remembered Hagrid's look of terror I definitely expected something of scary nature.
Lui:

Harry steps down to London and is greeted by none other than Cornelius Fudge,
Minister of Magic. Why do you think such an important political figure came to
fetch Harry?

Alla:

Cornelius was scared that public will not be happy if Dementors have Harry's soul for a snack, maybe?

Thanks for the questions Lui.
