My third book is Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban. In this book, Harry has to deal with new things. First of all, he meets his godfather, Sirius Black. Sirius was the best friend of James and Lily Potter (Harry’s parents). When Harry was a baby, his parents were murdered by Voldemort, but thanks to Lily, harry could survive.

Everybody thought that Sirius was the person who told Voldemort where Lily and James were. That’s become Sirius in a “Death Eater” (Voldemort’s follower) and that’s why he went to prison.

Harry discovered that everything was a lie when Sirius escaped from Azkaban. Sirius was not the person who betrayed Lily and James, because they were so important to him that he could give his own life to save them. The person who did that was Peter Pettigrew.

James, Sirius and Peter were all Animagus and friends. Animagus are the people who can change their human body in an animal. So James was a deer, Sirius was a dog and Peter was a rat.

When Voldemort first disappeared Peter decided to maintain his animal form as a rat. He decided to live with the Weasleys (Ronald’s family) and he soon became Ronald’s pet. Nobody knew that, but when Sirius told Harry the truth, Ronald could realize what his pet really was.

¡Viva Chile!

I think native people and their rights are always left behind, and I do not why that happens. I really do not know anything about them, just the basic things, like the place where they live, the sports and the typical costumes they wear. In the school I did not learn about them and I do not even know why. We have a lot of different things and it could maybe be cruel, but I really do not care about them. I know they are our antecessors, but I do not identify with them.

To me, the Chilean identification is related with the fact that we think that all the Chilean people do the same things we do. For example, we cried when the miners were found alive and we deduce that all the Chileans cried too. That is the patriotism.

A couple of years ago two young wrote down in a historical wall in Peru, and that makes me feel very embarrassed of our country. Going to another country to make things like that is not very polite, and shows us like barbarian people sometimes.

Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets

The book I am reading is “Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets” by J.K Rowling. The book is so related with the story because in this chapter Harry had to fight with Voldemort’s phantom (Tom Marvolo Riddle) and with a huge basilisk in a chamber which is hidden in Howarts, that’s why is called chamber of secrets.

The stranger things that happened this year in Howarts were absolutely unknown and unusual. To name a few but one was the fact that almost everyday a student appeared completely petrified without reason and all of them in different places. Hermione and Ronald, Harry’s best friends, were searching about this clues that Voldemort gave to Harry, but one day someone found Hermione petrified with a mirror in her hands and a piece of paper. Harry and Ron discovered that she had found the most important clue of all: There was a basilisk hidden somewhere in the castle. As always, Harry took courage and found the place (the chamber of secrets) where the basilisk where hidden. He killed it and then made Voldemort’s phantom disappear.

The main lesson of the story is that it does not matter how powerful you are, there will be always someone who could kill you if you do the wrong things. Another thing is that everything is possible if you just believe.
