I stood outside Mrs Cole’s house.
The gate was hanging from one
rusty hinge.
Weeds filled the front garden
taller than me.
It was like a jungle from a Tarzan
film.
The paint was scraped off the
front door, and there was a piece
of cardboard where the glass
should be.

She was big and red, with
straggly hair, a scruffy
cardigan, and a great big
smile

In the hall there was a pile
of dirty washing,
a broken pram,
half a scooter,
a pyjama leg,
and three shoes:
one red,
one brown,
one blue.

Gradually he grew more accustomed to
the din and the glare and, though he
dared not move, began to observe the
humans, for numbers of pedestrians
passed close by him. They were all
walking on the narrow road on which
he sat, a road raised above the level
of the street itself by about the
height of a hedgehog. ‘They’re safe,’
said Max to himself, ‘because the
noisy monsters aren’t allowed up here’.
He looked across the street, and
could see that at the far side of it
there were other humans, also walking
safely on a similar raised road.

The Great Hall, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (based on
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone)
Harry had never imagined such a strange and splendid place. It
was lit by thousands and thousands of candles which were floating
in mid-air over four long tables, where the rest of the students
were sitting. These tables were laid with glittering golden plates
and goblets. At the top of the Hall was another long table where
the teachers were sitting… The hundreds of faces staring at
them looked like pale lanterns in the flickering candlelight.
Dotted here and there among the students, the ghosts shone
misty silver. Mainly to avoid all the staring eyes, Harry looked
upwards and saw a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars.
