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?

*This has always puzzled me. I mean, HP isn't exactly the Babysitter's Club,
so what gives, Jo? One would think that no one would start at GoF, so...why
bother, really. *

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?

*Honestly, I never stopped to think while reading these books. I just read
them, within 24 hours of getting them, and then I stopped, thought, and
reread.*

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

*yes--he definitely knows his friends remarkably well. Actually, I think the
Trio is a great example of teenage friendships, when everyone knows each
other  really well and everything is very intense.

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

*somewhere tropical!*

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

*yes. yes, yes, yes. I suppose I might feel a little bad about it if I were
a better person, but I'm not, so I don't.*
