Adventures Of Fluffy ,the Hamster
by Rinya Singh
Fluffy was a cute little girl hamster with a fluffy grey coat,therfore ,her name was Fluffy.She was owned by a girl named Tulip.Fluffy had lots and lots of fun with Tulip everyday.On some days,Tulip would put a leotard and tutu on Fluffy and play ballet with her.One day,Tulip made a jungle gym out of cardboard,old plastic rings and leaves from her garden.It looked very exciting.She put it on her bed so Fluffy could play on it.Fluffy climbed through the rings,bit through the cardboard and had a rest in the bed of leaves.
Tulip always took very good care of her pet.She locked the cage everyday and made sure it was locked at night as well.One day,her friend Lily came over to her house for a play date.That day,it rained heavily and Lily’s mom couldn’t come to fetch Lily back to her house.So Lily had to have a sleepover at Tulip’s house.That night,Tulip forgot to secure Fluffy’s cage! Being a very curious little hamster,she went out to explore!
Soon she found out that the curtains in the living room were easy to climb on and since the window was open enough for Fluffy to squeeze through,she popped out into the garden.Once she was in the garden,she suddenly saw Tulip and thought “oh no! she will put me back into my boring cage! I don’t want to go in ! I want to have some fun in the garden tonight.”So,little Miss Fluffy hid behind a tree,waiting for Tulip to go back to her room and sleep.But strangely,Tulip wasn’t moving!
Fluffy got very tired waiting behind the tree and slowly began to creep out into the garden and since she was a very active hamster,she jumped around and found herself on Tulip’s hand!Tulip didn’t react.But then,Fluffy realizes that she is not on Tulip’s hand but instead she is on a goblin’s hand! She feels very scared and begins to tremble.Then she sees that the flowers and bushes in the garden are nothing but elves and goblins.Fluffy asks an elf why they captured her.The naughty elves and goblins all sit around Fluffy and say together,” for fun!”
The elves quickly push Fluffy onto a dry piece of sand.All of a sudden goblins come rushing up with a very beautiful flower growing potion which they pour around Fluffy.Bright,colourful flowers spring up as soon as it touches the ground.Five goblins and ten elves hurry to the nearest vine tree and cut off four long strips of vine.They all hurry off and give it to the other goblins who are holding Fluffy captive in the flower patch.Fluffy got very scared,thinking,”what are they going to do with the vines?” The elves then take the pieces of vine and quickly tie one end to a flower stem near Fluffy’s paws and the other end to her front and hind paws.Fluffy was trapped !! “What will happen now !” She thought.
After tying Fluffy,all elves and goblins run away and disappear into the darkness.Fluffy wonders where could they all have gone?Then suddenly she thinks that she could try and escape.She tries to stretch her neck and bite off the vines binding her to the flower stems but she fails to do it.She lay there for what seemed like hours and hours and she dreamed how Tulip would find her and rescue her.But her dream was interrupted by a little light,coming out from behind the trees.She spots a very pretty fairy,dressed in spider silk with lots of colourful flowers,hopping merily around the garden patch.Fairy stops to admire the beautiful flowers in the garden.Her name was Crystal.While she was busy looking around the garden,Crystal suddenly spots Fluffy and says,” how did you little cute hamster get stuck in there?I must save you!”She was a very kind hearted fairy.Crystal takes out her lovely ,sparkly wand and quickly mutters a fairy spell which Fluffy couldn’t hear.The secret spell to free someone in trouble was “Hadin Freein” and was supposed to be said four times very softly and in a whispering voice.Soon Fluffy was free!
“Now”,Crystal says “how did you get stuck there?”Fluffy tells Crystal everything .After hearing the whole story,Crystal gets very angry and say,”We have to tell The Princess ”.Fluffy asks,”Where is The Princess?” ,to which Crystal answers,”Up in the clouds,of course!”Fluffy gets very excited but is also worried as to how she is going to get there but suddenly she finds herself flying up in the air with a beautiful pair of shimmering golden wings which Crystal has magically put on Fluffy.Fluffy exclaims,”Hey,Crystal,how did you do that?” Crystal laughs and says”Magic!”
Soon they were flying faster and faster towards a beautiful palace hidden among the clouds.Crystal and Fluffy land on the palace gardens and Crystal takes a silver knocker and taps it on the door.A cute little elf opens the door and lets them in.Crystal then leads Fluffy to princesses chamber and knocks upon a golden knocker and a pink fairy opens the door.When she sees Crystal,she quickly lets her in.Fluffy is also let in and is then led into a beautiful room where she sees a another fairy all dressed up in a sparkly silver gown.The princess,Lisa,asks Crystal and Fluffy,”What brings you here?”, to which they both tell their story as to how Fluffy was captured by the elves and goblins and how Crystal had saved the little hamster.
Once hearing their story,Princess Lisa gets very angry and asks her special pink fairy to bring the snow white rabbits and the silver chariot.They all leave together for Fluffy’s garden to arrest the elves and goblins.When they reach the garden,Princess Lisa,pink fairy,Crystal and the snow white rabbits make themselves invisible by the magic spell of Fairyland.The Princess asks Fluffy to go back to the place where she was tied up and shout”Help,help me, Tulip!”.
So, Fluffy does as Princess Lisa had told her to.After a while,all the elves and goblins come out ,wondering why Fluffy was shouting.They all had been sleeping in the trees and didn’t notice that Fluffy had gone missing.When they all come out,Princess Lisa,Crystal,the pink fairy and the snow white rabbits,all appear and the elves and goblins turn pale and all say together,”Oh! The Princess!” and gulp.
Princess Lisa then commands that all the goblins be put into the Fairyland jail and the elves become Fluffy’s servants.She tells Crystal to stay with Fluffy as a guard so that the elves couldn’t trick little Fluffy again.Princess Lisa then snaps her fingers and she,pink fairy,snow white rabbits and of course,the goblins, all go back to the cloud palace while Fluffy,Crystal and the elves all stay in the garden.Crystal tells Fluffy that she and the elves will only be active at night and during the day they will turn into tiny flowers in the garden.
Crystal then notices that its about to be dawn and asks Fluffy to go back into her cage inside the house.Fluffy reluctantly goes back but promises to sneak out at night again to play with Crystal and the elves.
In the morning,Tulip and Lily have their breakfast outside in the garden and notice the little flowers which Tulip had never seen before.They both think that they are wild flowers but very pretty to be plucked out and thrown away.So they let them be.After their breakfast,Lily is ready to go home but wants to see Fluffy one more time.Tulip brings the cage in the garden for Lily to see Fluffy.As soon as Tulip opens the cage door,Fluffy runs towards the tiny flowers.Tulip picks up Fluffy and gives her to Lily to play with.
Fluffy thinks,”Oh! Only if they knew what happened last night!It was scary but tonight its going to be fun!”She really wanted to tell Tulip and Lily what an adventure she had.
From then,the cute little nocturnal Fluffy had no lonely moments as she had ten elevs and a kind hearted Crystal to play with.
( In the loving memory of my pet hamster,Fluffy)

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince ---- The Movie
Harry Potter And The Half -Blood Prince, By J.K Rowling
Daniel Radcliff as Harry Potter in year six at Hogwarts ,looks more older than he was in year one and so do Emma Watson as Hermoine Granger and Rupert Grint as Ron. Michael Gambon as Proffesor Dumbeldore looks almost the same.
The movie begins by Harry waiting at a train station for Professor Dumbeldore and it surprised me to see the Professor suddenly appearing after a train has passed.He asks Harry to hold his arm and they immediately land in the village of Budleigh Babberton .Dumbeldore tells Harry that they have to pursue Horace Slughorn ,his old friend, to come back to Hogwarts and teach. They reach Horace’s deserted house .But then Professor Dumbeldore pokes on an armchair with the tip of wand and it says’ Oww’ and a man rises and that was Horace .This was a hilarious appearance.
The scene in which Fred and George Weasley ‘s shop, Weasley’s Wizarding Whezes ,Ron asks his brothers how much the boxes he was holding cost ,they say” five Galleons”, to which Ron says “ I am your brother!” ,then Fred and George say” ten Galleons!” was very funny. Another interesting scene in the movie was when Katie Bell ,a Gryffindor Chaser in Quidditch , floats in the air and screams.Yet another fascinating part is when Aragog,Hagrid’s huge spider friend ,dies and Hagrid , Profssor Slughorn and Harry bury him. It is said that Aragog is a real model and they had to use a crane to lift it. You can realy see the spells moving in the air. One scary part is when the death eaters zip around looking like black stripes in the air .
The music was nice and it went with the flow of the movie.In one scene,Harry uses a spell called Sectumsempera ,which makes gashes in the person’s chest , but Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy didn’t lose any blood as there were long tubes filled with fake blood pasted to his body .One time Tom had to change costumes seven times.
I would watch this movie over and over again as it has a bit of mystery in it and some funny scenes as well.But there is lots of magic which I love a lot.

Harry Potter and The Prisoner Of Azkaban
By J.K Rowling
Harry is having a fine time with the Dursleys at the start of his school holidays.One day,Uncle Vernon’s sister,Marge,comes to stay with the Dursleys.At dinner,Aunt Marge insults Harry’s deceased parents and he gets angry.Accidently,he inflates Aunt Marge who flies up and everyone asks Harry to put her down but he just runs away.He hates the Dursleys and thinks that he had enough of them treating him as a servant.Aunt Marge continues to stay at their house.Harry runs away and gets picked up by the Knight bus which is an emergency transport for a stranded witch or wizard.It drops him off at the Leaky Cauldron.It is a special place as in its backyard ,by tapping a few bricks with the wand,a magical doorway to a place called Diagon Alley appears,where there are lots of wizarding shops including Gringotts and the only wizarding bank ,run by the goblins.At Diagon Alley,Harry meets the Weasleys and they all go to the railway station where they can board the train to Hogwarts.
On their way to Hogwarts, Dementors,the guards of the wizard prison Azkaban,come to search for Sirius Black on the Hogwarts Express.It is very scary when they search for the escaped prisioner Sirius who is Harry’s Godfather.Harry faints ,as he hears a screaming sound of his dead mother in his head.Dementors have the power to make a person reveal the darkest moments of their lives and this was Harry’s one of those moments.Lupin wakes him up and they soon reach Hogwarts.Dementors are unable to find Sirius as he is not in the train.When Harry and the Weasleys reach Hogwarts,they find that Professor Lupin is a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
At Christmas,Harry gets an unexpected new broomstick as a gift which Professor McGonagall takes away from him.Hermoine tells the professor about the gift being from an unknown person and they fear that this person could be Sirius Black who they think wants to kill Harry.Everyone believes that Sirius was a spy for Lord Voldemort who was supposed to keep the Potters ,James and Lily safe but actually Voldemort kills them.
After the death of Harry’s parents and Voldemorts downfall,Sirius has a wizard duel with Peter Pettigrew ,a friend of James and supposedly kills him.Because of this ,Sirius is sent to Azkaban by the Minister of Magic.
One day,at Hogwarts,a boy named Draco Malfoy gets hurt by Buckbeak ,a hippogriff.Hippogriffs are creatures that are part giant eagle and part horse.He attacks Draco in the Care of Magical Creatures Class ,whose teacher is Hagrid. Buckbeak goes to a hearing because he supposedly hurt Draco very badly . For this , the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures decides that Buckbeak should be executed .On the day of execution,Ron ,Hermione and Harry go down to meet Hagrid .While they all are at Hagrid’s hut ,they find Scabbers ,Ron’s pet rat who had been missing for a long time .Then suddenly, the people who were going to execute Buckbeak ,arrive and Harry ,Ron and Hermione hurry back to the school as they didn’t want to be seen by them .But then Scabbers bites Ron’s finger and escapes .Ron runs after him but a big black dog appears who pulls Ron towards the Whomping Willow while Ron tries to hold onto one of the roots with his leg but it snaps and he gets dragged under the Willow. Hermione and Harry try to get into the Willow to save Ron but the branches of the tree swirl around and hurt them. Hermione’s cat,Crookshanks, helps them get under the Whomping Willow. They save Ron but waiting under the tree is Sirius Black himself.
This is very interesting . While they are in the tree ,Professor Lupin comes and joins them .After him comes Professor Snape .Later,they all come out of the Willow . Lupin then turns into a werewolf and attacks Harry and his friends.Soon Sirius goes to the lake at Hogwarts and passes out but then the Dementors find him .Harry drives them away with a spell but passes out himself and wakes up in the hospital wing as he hears the Minister of Magic ,Cornelius Fudge and Professor Snape talking about the previous night’s incident .
It is very frightening when the Dementors, who feed on happiness and good feelings and can also suck out the soul of people called the Dementors kiss, come near the lake and Harry has to drive them away on his own.When Harry wakes up, he gets to know that the Dementors are going to perform the Dermentors Kiss on Sirius.He and Hermoine try to explain to Cornelius that Sirius is innocent but he doesn’t believe them.
Dumbeldore tells Harry and Hermoine to go back in time where they save Buckbeak who helps them save Sirius.
It is a very exciting book and I am thrilled every time I read it.I have already read it about five times and am still fascinated by it.

Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets
By J.K Rowling
Mr.Dursley and his family are having dinner with the Masons, the builders with whom they were going to sign a contract .Mr.Dursley runs a drill making firm called Grunnings .Suddenly, a house –elf ,a magical creature, appears on Harry’s bed and introduces himself as Dobby but they normally work as servants in a wizarding household .Dobby warns Harry to not go back to Hogwarts because he says that terrible things are going to happen there.But Harry does not listen to his warnings as he thinks that it is the only place he has friends .He does’nt agree with Dobby about not going there so Dobby levitates Harry’ s Aunt ,Petunia’s pudding and then makes it crash onto the kitchen floor.This was a funny part.This gets Harry into big trouble with the Dursleys as the contract does’nt get signed as the owl also comes flying in and scares Mrs.Mason away .Mr.Mason runs after her and telling the Dursleys that she hated birds.The effect of this incident was devastating for the Dursleys and Harry.
Later,his Uncle Vernon pays a man to fix bars to Harry’s windows so can’t escape and meet his friends but one night,one of his friends,Ron Weasley comes flying with his twin brothers,Fred and George in a car,their dad has enchanted.They rescue Harry from The Dursleys.
There are four houses at Hogwarts: Gryffindor ,Hufflepuff,Ravenclaw and Slytherin. They were the founders of Hogwarts.Slytherin was more choosy about the children coming to Hogwarts .He thinks that only pure-bloods are supposed to be allowed in Hogwarts ,the others refuse ,so Slytherin leaves the school and he makes the Chamber of Secrets and says that his heir would kill all the Muggle-born in the school.Lots of Muggle-born children are Petrified at Hogwarts including Harry and Ron’s best friend Hermione.They are very shocked when Professor McGonagall’s,a teacher at Hogwarts tells them about Hermione being Petrified
It is very exciting when Harry,Ron and Professor Lockhart,a teacher at Hogwarts,find the Chamber of secrets,a legendary place inside Hogwarts.It is thought to be the home of a monster and Lockhart tries to remove Harry and Ron’s memory but the charm backfires.It is very funny.
It is very frightening when in the chamber,the basilisk,a giant deadly snake,starts to chase Harry.
The second Harry Potter book is a joy to read but terrifying at the same time.I did smile and laugh a few times.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
By J.K Rowling
My mom got me my first Harry Potter book when I was 5 1/2 years old.It was No.2,Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but I didn’t understand a few characters so I asked my mom for No.1 and ever since I have been reading the entire series over and over again.
Harry is a orphan boy of ten years old .His parents were killed by the dark Lord Voldemort when he was one year old .Strange things happen to the people around him because he is a wizard. Near his eleventh birthday he gets lots of letters addressed to him which confirm Harry’s acceptance to Hogwarts,a wizarding school and a list of the things and books he will need to become a wizard.His uncle,Vernon Dursley destroys all of them as he does not want Harry to become a wizard.He nails the letter box shut so no letters can come through it.It’s funny when Mr.Dursley nails the mail box shut but the letters reach the house in a different way.They come in from tiny, thin spaces in the house and from inside the eggs.
There are 3 types of wizards:1 Pure-bloods in which all the family are witches and wizards.2.Half-bloods in which the mom or dad can be Muggle and the other parent wizard. 3 Muggle-born in which both parents are non-wizards.
The scary part is in the end when Professor Quirrell,one of Harry’s teachers at Howgwarts has two faces.One is his own and the other is Voldemort’s disfigured face.
It is overall a scary ,sometimes happy story.

My Dad’s got an Alligator By Jeremy Strong
In this hilarious book,Ronald,Nicholas’s dad brings home a surprise from work,an alligator and names it Crunchbag. Ronald puts Crunchbag in Nicholas’s mom,Brenda's bath and it eats up all the soap and the plastic toy boat.
Ronald doesn’t think that Crunchbag is dangerous as he claims that it is a vegetarian so it won’t eat people in the house.Brenda doesn’t like anything with lots of teeth as they can eat meat.One day while Ronald was at work,Nicholas and Brenda were looking for granny and when they couldn’t find her Brenda thinks that Crunchbag has eaten her.But it turns out that she was at the video store buying a new snooker video.
Crunchbag is finally given away to the zoo because it causes too much trouble.Brenda tells Ronald that he can have a pet except a crocodile or an alligator.And he brings home a vulture,which I find really funny.
