Hogwarts: Letters from No One


Today, we read Chapter 3, in which Harry begins receiving mysterious letters (of course, Uncle Vernon won't let him have them). We finally put the finishing touches on our wands, gold flourishes that gleam beautifully. Perfect for those late-night wizarding duels (not that such things are permitted here on school grounds!).
After we finished painting our wands, we headed back inside the classroom to write letters to our favorite (or least favorite) characters from the story. I think Dudley is going to be embarrassed to find so many letters admonishing him for being mean to Harry! Since we wanted the letters to be perfect, we practiced on plain paper first and then recopied them onto Hogwarts letterhead stationery. Once the letters are all finished, they will be sent by Owl Post.
