As we welcome the final installment of the Harry Potter books, this chapter begins the book with an eerie gathering at the Malfoy's where Lord Voldemort and his followers discuss the Order of the Phoenix's plans to move Harry. Do you and your family have an upcoming trip planned? Or have you recently returned from a summer vacation? For this activity, write a short paragraph describing your trip. Where did you go? Who made the plans? What did you do while you were there? If you haven't traveled anywhere recently, then write about a place you would like to visit.
