Chapter Thirteen - Creative Writing Activity

In this chapter, Professor Dumbledore informs Tom Riddle that he will be attending Hogwarts. Imagine Dumbledore arrived at your home to tell you that you were a witch/wizard. Write an essay describing how you think you would react if you did not know about the magic world. Do you think you would be surprised, like Harry was; or, do you think you would act like Tom Marvolo Riddle? Write a script of what your discussion with Dumbledore might sound like.
