Setting for first Book Report

Setting
The setting of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire starts out at a dank, dirty, creepy house. Almost haunted one could say, because of the things that happened there. It’s also where Voldemort is hiding. It ends up to be another dream of Harry’s.

Harry’s uncle and aunt’s house is a normal London, England type house. It has two levels, a cupboard big enough for Harry to live in, a living room, kitchen, and two baths. At the end of the summer he moves into his best friend Ron’s house. Their house is magically enhanced house with an old, wailing ghost in their attic. 7 out of the 9 (two of which are the parents) of Wealsey’s are living there, so that’s why it demands so much extra house.

Harry, Ginny (Wealsey’s only daughter and the youngest), Ron (youngest son), Fred and George (the twins), Hermione (Ron and Harry’s best friend, other then each other), and Mr. Wealsey go to the International Quidditch Cup (the Irish vs. the Bulgarians). Quidditch is like soccer in the air and instead of running on the ground, they fly on broomsticks. There are three goal posts, their point values are all ten points, but they are at different heights. There are 7 people on a team, a keeper, three chasers, two beaters, and a seeker.

The keeper’s job is to defend his team’s goal posts for the opposing team’s chasers. The chaser’s job is to take the Quaffle and throw into the opposing team’s goal. The beater’s job is to hit the bludgers with a bat out of there own team’s way and into the opposing teams players. Finally the seeker’s job is to get the golden snitch, a little tiny golden ball with wings that goes fairly fast, and the team’s seeker who get’s the golden snitch earns their team 150 points and that also is the only way to end the game.

The time period is pretty present. There are modern cars. There’s television, the news, weather reports, computers, the webbernets.

The magical world is a bit different they live in the more old English times, like castles, but all the wizards or witches have many color robes, use wands imbued with some type of magical property.

Finally Hogwart’s School for Witchcraft and Wizardry is a magic teaching school. It’s a fairly old castle with many surprises. It has it’s own lake with a giant squid in it, and a Forbidden Forest with unicorns, giant spiders, centaurs and other mythical creatures, so that’s why it’s so forbidden. Well I can’t tell you too much about Hogwart’s other wise you might not want to read this series.
Well I got to get other book report stuff done so yeah…
