CHAPTER DISCUSSION: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Chapter 11: The Firebolt

We see Harry's reaction to the information about Black. Ron and Hermione are
worried about him, they all go to see Hagrid, where they discover that Buckbeak
might be executed. Harry receives the Firebolt as a Christmas present. Harry and
Ron are ecstatic, while Hermione is concerned. The Sneakoscope goes off when
Crookshanks tries to get Scabbers. Scabbers looks very poorly. They all have
Christmas dinner; even Prof. Trelawney joins them. Afterwards, Prof. McGonagall
comes to the Gryffindor common room and confiscates the Firebolt.




Questions:

When Harry imagined Black with Voldemort, did you think it was just Harry's
imagination?




What did you think when the Sneakoscope went off?




Did you think Trelawney's 'when thirteen dine together, the first to rise will
be the first to die' saying was real? What did you think of the other teachers'
reactions to Trelawney?




Did you think the Firebolt could have been sent by Sirius Black? Why did the
fact it was anonymous disturb everyone so much?




What is JKR saying about fairness, that Harry receives the Firebolt, or that
Malfoy senior is allowed to buy international-standard brooms for the
Slytherins?




This chapter is full of interrupted scenes - can you remember what impression
the chapter had on you when you first read it?




Cheers, AM
