Summary for Harry Potter and the goblet of fire

Summary for Harry Potter and the goblet of fire

Part 1

The novel starts with Harry witnessing, in a dream, the murder of a Muggle named Frank Bryce at

the hands of Voldemort. He awakes with a searing pain in the lightning-bolt scar on his forehead.

The next day the Weasleys take Harry and Hermione to the Quidditch World Cup using a magical

teleportation object called a Portkey. There, Harry meets Cedric Diggory, who attends the game

with his father, Amos Diggory. After the match, the Death Eaters, (Voldemort’s followers), attack the

site, causing havoc. The Dark Mark gets fired into the sky, which causes panic since it’s the first

time it has been seen in over thirteen years. Winky, Barty Crouch Sr.’s house-elf, is blamed for c-

asting the Mark after she is found holding Harry’s wand, which was used to cast the Dark Mark

The trio returns to Hogwarts, where ex-Auror Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody will be teaching  Defense

Against the Dark Arts. Albus Dumbledore announces that Hogwarts will host the Triwizard Tour-

nament, open only to students over the age of seventeen, and the prize for winning the tournament

is one thousand gold Galleons. It will be the first time in two hundred years that the tournament

has been held. Students from Beauxbatons Academy and Durmstrang Institute traveled to Hog-

warts and stayed the entire year during the completion.

Students who hope to participate must place their names in the Goblet of Fire. On Halloween nig-

ht, the Goblet picks Fleur Delacour, Viktor Krum, and Cedric Diggory, representing Beauxbatons,

Durmstrang, and Hogwarts. The Goblet also gives a fourth name, Harry Potter, causing controve-

rsy and suspicion since Harry is underage. Ron refuses to speak to Harry because he is jealous

that Harry is once again in the spotlight.

Hagrid tells Harry that the first task involves dragons and that Fleur and Viktor likely already know

about it. Harry communicates the information to Cedric in order to keep a level playing field. For

the first task, Harry has to pass a Hungarian Horntail to retrieve a golden egg, containing a hint

about the next task. Harry succeeds by summoning his Firebolt broomstick with the Summoning

Spell, and finishes the task tying for first place with Viktor. Ron reconciles with Harry after realizing

the dangers of the Tournament. When Harry opens the egg, it shrieks loudly.

Meanwhile, a reporter named Rita Skeeter is writing scandalous articles and embellished rumors

in the Daily Prophet about Hogwarts, Hermione, Harry, Hagrid, and the Headmistress of Beauxb-

atons.

The Yule Ball is approaching and Harry has to take someone with him, so he askes Cho Chang,

but she informs him that Cedric has already asked her. Harry eventually asks Parvati Patil and

Ron takes her twin sister Padma. During the Yule Ball, Ron is shocked and jealous to see that

Hermione attends the Ball with Viktor Krum. Cedric tells Harry that to open the egg, he needs to

take it to the prefects’ bathroom. Harry ignores him due to his jealousy over Cho.

However, as the challenge nears, Harry swallows his pride and takes the egg to the prefects’

bathroom, where Moaning Myrtle tells him that he needs to submerge it in order to understand the

song. He realizes that the next task will take place underwater, so he begins looking for spells

that would allow him to breathe underwater.

By the morning of the task, Harry hasn’t found a spell, but Dobby gives him Gillyweed, which

gives Harry gills when he eats it. The third task takes place in the Black Lake and it involves sav-

ing the person each champion cares about the most. Underwater, Harry looks at Ron and Hermio-

ne, unsure which one he is supposed to pick. Viktor takes Hermione to the surface. He completes

the task, finishing in third place, by rescuing Ron from under the lake and saving Gabrielle,

Fleur’s sister. After the judges tally the votes they award him second place, giving him more

points for saving Gabrielle.

One month before the final task, Harry and Krum are talking when they encounter Barty Crouch

Sr., who looks to have gone insane, but tells Harry to get Dumbledore.

The day my sister swapped me for a puppy (Part 2)

The day my sister swapped me for a puppy

(Part 2)

Mum and Dad are going to kill you when they find out what you have done.Oh Amelia, you are

so dead, sniggered Lucas.

Oh-no i’m not because they aren’t going to find out! Amelia exclaimed.

Ha, Yeah definitely, said Lucas sarcastically, as a smug grin smile spread across his face going from

ear to ear.

Oh Lucas don’t you dare tell, cause if you do I will not be the dead.

Then suddenly they heard the doorbell, ah ha i’m about to celebrate becoming an only child, laughed

Lucas as they dashed over to the front door. 

Amelia came close behind, making sure he didn't say anything about the puppy. 

As they had assumed it was their parents at the door, “Hi honey” they said.

“Amelia, your friend molly is across the road if you want to go say hi” 

They went outside to say hi and saw Molly hanging up a piece of paper on a tree. 

Hi, Molly what are you doing? Amelia questioned. 

“Oh hi, i’m putting up lost dog posters, my puppy Lucky has gone missing”

Immediately Lucas ran into the back garden, grabbed the dog and ran back to Amelia and Molly.

“Is This be be your dog” He asked Molly

“YES Oh thank you, thank you, thank you” squealed Molly in excitement.

How did you find him?

“Well my hollow-headed sister basically stole your dog” told Lucas.

I am SO sorry I had no idea it belonged to anybody, I thought it was a stray, explained Amelia

completely out of breath.

“Face it Molly she’s a lost case” said Lucas rudely.

SHE’S my best friend, said Molly firmly.

George's marvellous medicine (as a poem)

 

 George's marvellous medicine (as a poem)

I’m going out to shop, now don’t misbehave,

Said George’s mother as she gave them a wave. 

George turned around unfortunate to see,

His putrid,old grandma demanded some tea.

George’s Granny was a grizzly, old grouch

Always sitting on her small, lumpy couch,

She had wicked, beady eyes and was always in a slouch.

She stared over her cup sipping her tea slow,

Then told George: “It’s silly to grow”.

“Boys that grow become stupid and lazy”,

George wanted to argue and say; NO THAT’S CRAZY!

  

Not only that she had more stories up her sleeve,

All of which wanted to make him leave.

Stories like slugs and worms taste good,

Far better than you think they would.

Hearing all this George wanted to gag,

But instead just ran away from the old hag.

Into the kitchen and on to the floor,

Then behind him he then slammed the door.

I can’t stay frightened of her all my life,

I must do something to set things right.

So-ho! Thought George suddenly. Ah-ha! Ho-hum! 

I know what to do, he said, twiddling his thumbs.

I must give her medicine at 11.00 o’clock.

But today I shall give her something new,

Give Her a horrid medicine, that’s what I'll do.

George jumped up, happy as ever,

She’ll never suspect it; never, NEVER!

‘A magic medicine it shall be!’

So give me a bug, a jumping flea, 

Give me two snails, and lizards three!, 

And a slimy slug from under the sea,

And the poisonous sting of a bumble bee,

And the juice from the fruit of a deadly tree,

And the powdered bone of a wombat’s knee.

And one hundred and one other things as well,

All with a rather nasty smell.

I’ll stir them up, I’ll boil them long,

A mixture tough, mixture strong.

And then heigh-ho down it goes,

A nice big spoonful, (hold your nose).

Gulp it down have no fear,

“How do you like it, Granny dear?”

Will she go pop? Will she explode?,

Will she go flying down the road?

Will she go poof in a puff of smoke?,

Or will she fizz like a can of coke?

Who knows?, not I, let’s wait and see.

(I’m glad it’s neither you or me).

Oh grandma, if you only knew,

What I have in store for you.

WALT: Explain how banks work

How do banks work?

Intro [Hook and interesting facts] 

Do you know what a bank is? Banks have been around for thousands of years. They are places to keep your money. Most of you probably receive money from: your Parents, on special occasions [like birthdays] or even from the tooth fairy, but usually kids keep their money safe in a piggy bank. Even though your piggy bank seems like a perfectly good place to store your money. When you grow up all your money won’t be able to fit all your money. So you will have to open a bank account and keep your money there. Now you may be asking yourself, how do banks work?

Paragraph 1 [keeping money in a bank]

Banking systems have been around for thousands of years. Banks are safe places to keep your money. Storing your money in a bank is one of the easiest ways to save. For one thing, it is user-friendly. When you have a bank account, you can set up automatic transfers from your checking to a savings account, it is effortless to instantly withdraw money from your savings. Having a bank account makes it easier to track where your money's at.

Paragraph 2 [Paying Interest]

Banks borrow and lend money to people like you and me. When they Borrow money from you they agree to make a payment to you for the money, this is called interest. For example, when you open a bank account you deposit $20.00, by having a bank account you agree to letting the bank borrow the money and use it to conduct banking business. In exchange they agree to pay you interest. For instance, with that 20 dollars you deposit, the bank pays you 2% interest which is an added 40 cents each year. If you don’t withdraw any money, then the total amount in your account will grow over time. 

Paragraph 3 [Profit]

Now you may be thinking ‘How is this possible?’ Well when the bank lends your money to somebody, they are charged with a fee. In other words,when people borrow someone else's money they are not receiving it for free. They have to give back the amount they borrowed plus some extra.  For instance, someone borrowing $20.00 from the bank will pay back the $20.20 if the interest rate is 2%. This is also known as profit.

Paragraph 4 [Conclusion]  

This is just a simple explanation for some of the many things banks do and how they work. Banks are trustworthy places that manage billions of dollars everyday. Their work makes our everyday lives more convenient. Without banks,we wouldn’t have a safe place to store our money for the future.  most people wouldn’t be able to borrow money to get things needed and use in our everyday lives.
