Dobby: A Free Elf

Hi everyone! Sorry for posting late, I had some Internet troubles. This week I would like to discuss the character Dobby. In the second book, Dobby gets Harry in trouble and in his attempts to stop him from going to Hogwarts nearly kills him. At the end of the book Dobby becomes a free elf when Harry gives the diary to Mr. Malfoy (which contains his sock) who then gives it to Dobby. In the seventh book Dobby comes to the rescue when Ollivander, Luna, Griphook, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are prisoners in Malfoy Manor. As Dobby begins to Apperate Bellatrix Lestrange's knife goes inside of the portal and when they are safe at Shell Cottage Harry finds Dobby dying because of Bellatrix's knife in his body. At least Dobby died as a free elf to save Harry Potter.

Magic is Might

Hi everyone! I made a typo in my first post. I meant to say that every two weeks I would post. This week I would like to discuss the topic of the Ministry of Magic. Throughout the series the trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione break into the Ministry several times. The most memorable break in is in the seventh book when our heroes use polyjuice potion to disguise as Ministry employees. We all know how that turned out. The good thing is that Harry, Ron, and Hermione managed to snatch the Horcrux locket from Umbridge. I guess our heroes have done that sort of thing a lot throughout the years. As the statue at the Ministry states 'Magic is Might'.
