R: Having read this book over and over again from roughly first to fifth grade I am finding myself recalling all sorts of memories regarding this time in my life some revolving directly around this book. One of these memories include me sitting in Ms. Smith's second grade class as she asked us what some words were that were used to describe the way in which a person spoke when writing. For example, she said, or he yelled, or they whispered. I remember wanting to impress my teacher as I quickly raised my hand and gave the example, he sneered. My teacher proceeded to ask me in surprise how I knew that word, and I told her that Professor Snape was always sneering at Harry Potter. It's funny that I also remember this so vividly but I know that in elementary school I was so excited to learn that I was soaking everything up in pretty great detail. This is why I now can still recall that the Harry Potter books was where I learned a good number of vocabulary words that I still could use today. Another memory not so directly related that came to mind as I read was when Harry mentioned that Dudley hadn't cried for real in a number of years. He knew that if he scrunched his face up enough he could get exactly what he wanted. This made me laugh because I also remember at this time in my life thinking that my little sister was able to accomplish that task all the time with my parents.
