In chapter fifteen, The Forbidden Forest, Harry Hermoine, Ron, Neville and Malfoy are all paying for their detentions by helping Hagrid in the Forbidden forest. During their detention, Harry and Malfoy find the unicorn that they are supposed to be looking for, along with the unicorn they also find a cloaked figure who killed and drank the unicorns blood. Only someone who is near death and accepts a curse will drink a unicorns blood. The cloaked figure charges toward Harry but a centaur defends and protects Harry, shooing the figure away. Harry is convinced that the cloaked figure is Voldemort and he is gaining strength to go and steal the sorcerers stone.
In chapter sixteen, Through The Trapdoor, Harry, Hermoine and Ron all decide that to keep Snape/Voldemort from the Sorcerers Stone is to go and get it themselves. When they decide to break into the room and face Fluffy they talk to Hagrid first who always gives up too much information. While talking to Hagrid he accidentally tells them the way he tames Fluffy and he talks about the "cloaked"man who gave him the Dragons egg. As Hagrid is telling Harry, Hermoine and Ron this story they come to realize that the cloaked figure had a reason, and that he got the way to serenade Fluffy, through a drunken Hagrid.When they get past Fluffy in the third corridor, they come upon these plants whom initially seem dangerous but turn out into a portal into the next level.
Overall, I really enjoy this book. I think that Harry will continue throughout the series to be the courageous one and develop more deeply throughout the series. I really enjoy the way that JK uses her detail and how she explains things. Which normally writers would just further confuse the reader, JK clarifies the book with her excellent talent of the ability to make sense of a wizard world.
