I had you looking in the wrong section. How could I be so stupid?

I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading.

Honestly, don't you two read?

The Philosopher's Stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers.

And produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal.

I know what it means!

That's what Fluffy's guarding on the 3rd floor. That's what's under the trapdoor.

Sorry, don't wish to be rude, but I'm in no fit state to entertain today.

Blimey, you're not still on about him, are you?

Snape is one of the teachers protecting the Stone. He's not about to steal it.

Of course! There are other things defending the Stone, aren't there?

I shouldn't have told you that. I should not have told you that.

Isn't he beautiful? Oh, bless him. Look, he knows his mummy.

Yeah, well, he's got to have a name, doesn't he?

He'll have to be trained up a bit, of course.

6. Harry is brave. Hermione is smart. How is Ron helpful?
7. Hermione calls her thick heavy book light reading. Do you think you read a lot? How many books do you read in a month? A year?
