Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone pgs. 223-250

I am still reading harry potter, lately I've been losing interest in the book but I'm pressing on until the end. In chapter fourteen, The Norwegian Ridgeback, Harry and Ron visit Hagrid and Hagrid has a dragon. Dragons in the wizarding world are illegal to keep as pets by wizards. Hagrid wins the dragon in a game at the pub and decides to raise the dragon on his own. However their plan is foiled when Malfoy sees Hagrids Dragon in his hut. Also, Harry wins an important game against Hufflepuff and set the record of the fastest game by catching the snitch in the first 6 minuets.
In chapter fifteen, The Forbidden Forest, Malfoy threatens Harry and the gang that he is going to tell Professor Snape on Hagrid and get Hagrid possibly fired from Hogwarts. So Harry and Ron decide to tell Rons brother Charlie, a Dragon tamer, to come to Hogwarts and get the Dragon. However this is not done easily, since Dragons are illegal Harry, Ron and Hermoine all have to venture out in the middle of the night with the Dragon and give it the Charlie and his friends. Although, Malfoy gets caught out trying to find them, so does Harry, Ron and Hermoine and they become the enemies of the school. Also while all of the Dragon events are happening, Harry and Ron notice Professor Snape pressuring Professor Quirrrel, and assume that he is trying to get all of the secret spells to get into the trap door under Fluffy.
Overall, this book has been pretty interesting. Although, it had a very strong beginning and sort of fades as it goes on. I am still looking foreword to reading what happens in the end of the book.
