    Made it! Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?

    The first question I had when I watched the film was what the Slytherins were doing at transfiguration class? 🤔 But thanks to that we can see Draco more often. Maybe that was the plan.

    Filch owned a cat called Mrs Norris, a scrawny, dust-colour creature with bulging, lamp-like eyes just like Filch’s. She patrolled the corridors alone. Break a rule in front of her, put just one toe out of line, and she’d whisk off for Filch, who’d appear, wheezing, two seconds later. Filch knew the secret passageways of the school better than anyone (except perhaps the Weasley twins) and could pop up as suddenly as any of the ghosts. The students all hated him and it was the dearest ambition of many to give Mrs Norris a good kick. scrawny - very thin in a way that is not attractive.

    Even worse than Peeves, if that was possible, was the caretaker, Argus Filch. Harry and Ron managed to get on the wrong side of him on their very first morning. Filch found them trying to force their way through a door which unluckily turned out to be the entrance to the out-of-bounds corridor on the third floor. He wouldn’t believe they were lost, was sure they were trying to break into it on purpose and was threatening to lock them in the dungeons when they were rescued by Professor Quirrell, who was passing. force one's way somewhere If you force your way through or into somewhere, you have to push or break things that are in your way in order to get there.

    It was also very hard to remember where anything was, because it all seemed to move around a lot. The people in the portraits kept going to visit each other and Harry was sure the coats of armour could walk. The ghosts didn’t help, either. It was always a nasty shock when one of them glided suddenly through a door you were trying to open. Nearly Headless Nick was always happy to point new Gryffindors in the right direction, but Peeves the poltergeist was worth two locked doors and a trick staircase if you met him when you were late for class.

    ‘There, look.’ ‘Where?’ ‘Next to the tall kid with the red hair.’ ‘Wearing the glasses?’ ‘Did you see his face?’ ‘Did you see his scar?’ Whispers followed Harry from the moment he left his dormitory next day People queuing outside classrooms stood on tiptoe to get a look at him, or doubled back to pass him in the corridors again, staring. Harry wished they wouldn’t, because he was trying to concentrate on finding his way to classes. On tiptoe/tiptoes Standing or walking on the front part of your foot, with your heels off the ground, in order to make yourself taller or to move very quietly.

    I can't help but mention the treacle tart because it happens to be Harry’s favorite dessert. Treacle tart is a sweet pastry consisting of a buttery shortcrust base and a gooey filling made from treacle (aka golden syrup), breadcrumbs and lemon zest. The first mention of a treacle tart recipe dates back to a 19th century cookbook by English author Mary Jewry. It is a quintessential British teatime dessert. It is traditionally served warm with clotted cream, whipped cream, or custard. You can also serve it with ice cream. Have you already tried it?

    Harry was going to ask Ron if he’d had any of the treacle tart, but he fell asleep almost at once. Perhaps Harry had eaten a bit too much, because he had a very strange dream. He was wearing Professor Quirrell’s turban, which kept talking to him, telling him he must transfer to Slytherin at once, because it was his destiny. Harry told the turban he didn’t want to be in Slytherin; it got heavier and heavier; he tried to pull it off but it tightened painfully – and there was Malfoy, laughing at him as he struggled with it – then Malfoy turned into the hook-nosed teacher, Snape, whose laugh became high and cold – there was a burst of green light and Harry woke, sweating and shaking. He rolled over and fell asleep again, and when he woke next day, he didn’t remember the dream at all.
