chapter-challenge-4-the-keeper-of-the-keys-text-section-2

So, as you play our chapter challenges, you'll be able to add points to your jar (or whatever receptacle you may be using!) be them pebbles, marbles or something else. 

Here's how we suggest doing it: mark each pebble or marble with __'2 points'__ and every time you score 2 points, add a pebble or marble to your jar. You might need a few __'1 point'__ markers as well, in case you score an odd number! 

In this challenge below, __10 house points__ are available - so you could be putting a maximum of 5 marbles or pebbles (or whatever!) in your jar today.

Good luck...

What’s the difference between Muggle sweets & magical ones?

*Illustration by MinaLima © 2020 Scholastic Inc., from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (MinaLima Edition)*

When Harry is on the Hogwarts Express, and on his way to wizarding school for the very first time, one of the excellent discoveries he makes is the sweets of the wizarding world. They’re certainly not like the kind of treats you would find in Muggle life! 

On that day he discovered Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans, Droobles Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, Cauldron Cakes and Liquorice Wands – which all sound rather tempting. And let’s not forget there were plenty of other wizarding world sweets he had yet to discover.  

You might wonder what makes them special? And do they do anything interesting? The quick answer is some do.  

While the Chocolate Frogs in the book version of *Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone* stay quite still, the film versions hop like actual frogs! In both versions they come with cards that have pictures of witches and wizards who move – and don’t always feel like hanging around.  

There are also lots of weird, wonderful and downright disgusting flavours in a pack of Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans. Although Muggle jellybeans do come in a variety of tastes – they’ve got nothing on their wizarding counterpart. There are some traditional ones like chocolate and peppermint, but there’s also spinach, sprouts, liver and tripe. George Weasley even claimed to have had the misfortune of eating one that tasted of bogies! 

And though there are plenty of wizarding treats, some magical folk still have a soft spot for old Muggle classics. Albus Dumbledore himself was partial to a sherbet lemon/lemon drop after all.  

So, the difference between Muggle and magical sweets? You need to watch out for the pictures on the Chocolate Frog cards and be very careful which Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Bean you try!

'Are you sure that's a real spell' | Harry Potter Reading Magic

philosophers-stone-extract-week-two-text-section-2

Now that you've listened to the extract, here's a few observations about Harry, Ron and Hermione's first meeting. 

## Introducing Hermione Granger 

When we first meet the bushy-haired Hermione Granger aboard the Hogwarts Express, she makes quite the first impression! Immediately, she regales Harry and his new friend Ron all about the spellbooks she's already read and what lessons she's looking forward to.

Poor Harry, who had only discovered he was a wizard a mere couple of weeks ago, suddenly realises just how much Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is going to teach him. Would you be as scared as Harry? Or more excited, like Hermione?

As for Hermione, we realised immediately that here was a future student who simply loved learning! We also learn that her parents aren't magical - in fact, they are Muggle dentists. Despite this, Hermione seems to know everything about the wizarding world already. But you'll soon learn that this character is quite extraordinary.

So, what did you first think of Hermione when we first meet her? Was she too hard on Harry and Ron, or do you admire how over-prepared for Hogwarts she was?

## "Are you sure that's a real spell?"

During their meeting, Ron tries to turn his pet rat Scabbers yellow with magic. Unfortunately, the spell doesn't seem to work... probably because his mischievous twin brothers Fred and George taught him this one. When we get to Hogwarts, you'll learn about all sorts of spells that wizards and witches learn, but this definitely isn't one of them! You'll also learn that Ron's brothers do enjoy playing pranks on him...

What spell would you want to learn how to do?
