I'm really pleased with the quality of the discussion this read-through has generated so far. If you haven't already, you might want to check out conversations on the relative merits of the books and why people like PoA so much in Chapter 1, and on Dursley family dynamics and readers' impressions of antagonistic characters in Chapter 2.

If ever you have something to say about my commentary or about the chapter in general, speak up! Add! Quibble! Pontificate!

PoA 3: The Knight Bus

He was stranded, quite alone, in the dark Muggle world[...] (29)

One of several suggestions that the Muggle world is dangerous, foreign, and frightening. Harry is not just afraid of encountering the authorities, but the "Muggle police" (30), even though it's wizard law he's broken. He sees himself as fully wizard by this point.

Knight Bus quibbles, the Harry=Neville connection, wandless magic, etc. )
