The Forbidden Forest

Hi everyone :) Last week, I went to see the movie "Noah" with my friend. Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman appeared on the screen. They are my favorite actors and actress. The movie was a bit complicated story, but I thought it was great! Did you see it?:)

Filch took Harry and Hermione down to Professor McGonagall's study on the first floor, where they sat and waited without saying a ward to each other. Hermione was trembling. When Professor McGonagell appeared, she was leading Neville who was trying to warn Harry that Malfoy was going to catch him. Professor MacGonagell never believed about the dragon story, but she decided to take fifty point each from Gryffindor as the punishment. A hundred and fifty points lost. That put Gryffindor in last place. In one night, they had ruined any chance Gryffindor had had for the House Cup. Harry felts as though the bottom had dropped out of his stomach. Next day, the bad news spread. From being one of the most popular and admired people at the school, Harry was suddenly the most hated. Only Ron stood by him. Hermione and Neville were suffering, too. They did not have as bad as Harry, because they were not as well known, but nobody would speak to them either.

One morning, notes were delivered to Harry, Hermione and Neville at the breakfast table. The note was written that their detention would take place at eleven o'clock tonight. At eleven o'clock that night Harry and Hermione said goodbye to Ron in the common room and went down to the entrance hall with Neville. Filch already there - and so was Malfoy. Harry had also forgotten that Malfoy had got a detention, too. They marched off across the dark grounds. When they finally arrived at Hagrid's hut, they were surprised to find that their detention would be held in the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid led them to the very edge of the Forest. Then he pointed to some traces of unicorn blood on the ground and explained hat they would go into the Forest to find out what had been hurting the unicorns. Hagrid said that Harry, Hermione and he would go one way and Draco, Neville and Hagrid's dog, Fang would go the other. He added that if any of them find the unicorn, they will send up green sparks - and if anyone gets in trouble, send up red sparks. Then, they entered the Forest. The Forest was black and silent. Harry, Hermione and Hagrid walked on through the dense, dark tress, but they saw red sparks that the other group was in trouble. Hagrid told Harry and Hermione to wait here and rushed to Malfoy, Neville and Fang. After a while, Hagrid returned with them, but he was fuming. Malfoy, it seemed, had sneaked up behind Neville and grabbed him for a joke. Neville had panicked sent up the sparks. Hagrid changed the groups - Neville stayed with Hermione and Hagrid, Harry went with Fang and the idiot, Malfoy.

So Harry set off into the heart of the Forest with Malfoy and Fang. They walked for nearly half an hour, deeper, deeper into the Forest, until the path became almost impossible to follow because the trees were so thick. Suddenly, they came across a hooded figure drinking the blood of the dead unicorn. Malfoy let out a terrible scream and bolted - so did Fang. The hooded figure raised its head and looked right at Harry. It got to its feet and came swiftly towards him - he could not move for fear. Then a pain pierced his head like he had never felt before. The pain in Harry's head was so bad he fell to his knees. It took a minute or two to pass. When he looked up, the figure had gone. A centaur called Firenze was standing over him.  Firenze rescued Harry and carried him back to Hagrid. On his way back, Harry noticed that the hooded figure was Voldemort and that he was drinking unicorn blood to sustain himself until he could obtain the Philosopher's Stone - the Elixir of Life.

I was surprised because Ron did not go to the Forbidden Forest and instead of him, Neville went there in the book! It was one of the differences between the book and the movie. And, this scene is one of my scariest scenes. The hooded figure is so horrible…
