I would like to be friend with Dobby because Dobby is quiet useful. He is house elf, and he does whatever things I ask him. Not a slave and master relationship. I want to be friends with him forever to enjoy life easier. Dobby also cares about others. He has great personality. So I'd like to be friend with him. It will fun when we are friends with magical creature.

I enjoyed reading this book. This was the second series of Harry potter. This time, it was little easy to me write the journal entry. Harry Potter series is fantasy novel and it gave me fun when I read it. Harry defeats Lord Voldmort at each series. While I'm reading this book, I was very eager to know what happens after this. It just likes a drug.

I want to be a friend with Harry Potter because he is very famous and I want to be friend with him. I can follow him where ever he goes, then, I can have many fun adventures. I love adventures and I really enjoy adventure. I can learn some magic to Harry. Maybe I can go to Harry's house and play because I'm muggle.

I enjoyed reading this book. But it was very difficult to write journal, because the stories are very long, and I can't write them all. I'm going to read the Harry Potter and the Secret of Chamber. The book is longer than this book, and I'm worrying about writing journals. However, Harry potter's books are long, but while I'm reading book, I really enjoyed it.

Matilda (240 pages)

Matilda who is the genius girl, her speech was perfect when she is one and a half years old. She reads newspaper when she is three, at age of four, she could read books. She goes to library everyday when she was four, and reads most of the books in the library but, her parents are perfectly stupid parents. When dad just ignore Matilda, she revenge him back by putting super glue in his hat, put parrots to pretend there is ghost in house and make father's hair blond by putting some medicine in his hair oil bottle instead of oil. When Matilda goes to school, she was too genius compare with her ages. She realizes that the school's headmistress, Miss Trunchbull is so awful. She is very huge she lifts any kids she can and throws away. She teaches every class once a week. Lavender, who is also clever girl, catches a newt and put in the jug fill with water. When Miss Trunchbull pours some water into her cup, the newt comes out and goes into cup. Miss Trunchbull is so angry about this and just guesses a student who did it. She guesses Matilda did it. Miss Trunchbull didn't listen what Matilda says. Matilda is so angry. She stared at glass. She realizes that the powers goes out from her eyes and tip the glass off. When the class was all over, Matilda goes to Miss Honey's house, who is her teacher. Miss honey lives in a small house where there is no electricity, water and gas. She tells that her aunt takes everything when her parents die. She also tells Matilda that her aunt is Miss Trunchbull. After listening shocking stories, Matilda goes to home and decides to help Miss honey. She practices her laser eyes. Then she can lift a thing, and can move it. The next week, when Miss Trunchbull teaches Matilda's class again, she uses her eye to write in the board saying give the house back to Miss Honey. Miss Trunchbull faints and she leaves her house. Miss Honey gets her house back. Matilda's family went to Spain to run away. Matilda doesn't wants to follow them, so she asks if she could live with Miss Honey. Her parents didn't concern her so they accept that Matilda lives with Miss Honey. Finally, they both live happily ever after.

Of course, I want to be friend with Matilda. But, I think Matilda is too young to be friend with me... maybe she is only about 10 to 14 years old and I am 16yeats old now... however, Matilda is genius girl, and if I be friend with her, maybe I can be genius too... we can study together, read books together, and help each other answering questions. That must be my best friend. Also, maybe I could learn how to use the "laser eye". I could move things by my eyes and that must be a great fun. If Matilda be my friend, my life will be filling of laugh and happiness.

I really enjoyed this book and I think this book is the best book I had ever read. This was little childish for 16years old boy, but I like childish books. It gives me a lot of "laugh". I could laugh while I'm reading and I don't want serious things happen in the book. If there is serious things happen in my reading that is so awful. Soon I will get into sleep. I think this author, Roald Dahl writes many kid books. Like James and the Giant Peach, or Charile and the Chocolate Factory. Unfortunately, I only have two books by Roald Dahl and I read both. I really enjoyed both. I think I should buy more English books for my Independent Reading.

I enjoyed reading this book because it is the fantastic novel. First, it was little boring to me. But, it changes. It is fun later. Edmund betrayed his brothers and sisters. But later, he comes back to join Aslan. That is very impressive to me. The story was quiet fun too.
