The Vanishing Glass: Pug's HP Reading Challenge '12

THIS SET OF QUESTIONS CLOSED 10/29/12 AT 8PM. PLEASE VISIT THE INFORMATION PAGE FOR CURRENT OPEN QUESTIONS. 


Results
Trivia
That boa constrictor's origin was Brazil but he was born right there in the London zoo. I guess it's like me, I'm from China but was born over in Scottsdale. 

Pottermore
I guess an alarm clock wouldn't really keep you awake but it sure will wake you up and you can collect one right here in this chapter. 

Opinion/Discussion
At the end of the chapter, the Dursley's lock Harry in his cupboard for the boa constrictor incident. We've always wondered if they let him out to go to his elementary/primary school since the year hadn't ended yet.

  2. 1) Brazil, technically, but since he'd never been there, he was bred in England at the zoo.

    2) An alarm clock?? Am not well versed on Pottermore and am trying to catch up!

    3) I think the British version makes reference to a school but I don't remember the American one saying anything about that other than that he was to go to St. Brutus' according to Uncle Butthole, uh I mean Uncle Vernon. Had to sign a paper agreeing to be able to go to his real school.

    Hope this works!

  4. Oreo - Weellll, his species originated in Brazil, but that specific snake was bred in captivity. :(

    Willo - I think you're referring to the alarm clock, though mine doesn't keep me awake, just wakes me up when I want it to. You need a new alarm clock, dear.

    Leo - I do think he was let out to attend the muggle school, otherwise there would have been no reference to him having no friends, mysteriously growing his hair back out of fear of embarrassment, and jumping on a roof to get away from Dudley's gang. School was a form of torture for him and it would have been continued...in my humble opinion.
