GoF Chapdisc 2:  The Scar

This chapter begins with Harry waking up in his room at the Dursleys' with his
scar hurting him. He also has had a dream about Voldemort. Unknown to him, he
has seen in his head the events recorded in the first chapter. Harry wonders
what it means and what he should do about it. He reviews what Hermione and Ron
would say and concludes he can't tell Dumbledore about such a minor thing. He
then remembers Sirius and decides to write him to ask his advice. There is
very little action in this chapter, but it sets the stage for future events. We
are introduced to Harry's ability to see into LV's mind.



1. Most of this chapter is devoted to a quick review of the events of the first
three books. Why do you think Jo decided to do a review? Do you think she
thought she would have new readers who did not know the first three books?

2. Did you understand that Harry was able to see into LV's mind at this point
in the story and did you wonder why?

3. Do you think Harry correctly assessed Hermione's and Ron's reactions? Does
this show he knows his friends well?

4. Where did you think Sirius was hiding based on the colorful birds he sent?

5. Is it fair of Harry to use the implied threat of violence by Sirius to get
better treatment from the Dursleys?

Nikkalmati.
