This book is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This book was written by J.K Rowling. Mrs. Weasley was waiting in the front yard for her husband Mr. Weasley. When he had arrived she hugged him and the Daily Prophet fall out of her hand. It was picked up by Harry Potter and it had a photograph of the Dark Mark. The Dark Mark was a symbol of a man Voldemort who is the bad guy in this book. They all went to the small kitchen. The person who wrote it Rita Skeeter made it seem like is was all the Ministry of Magics fault.

‘If the terrified wizards and witches who waited breathlessly for news at the edge of the wood expected reassurance from the Ministry of Magic, they were sadly disappointed. A Ministry official emerged some time after the appearance of the Dark Mark alleging that nobody had been hurt, but refusing to give any more information. Whether this statement will be enough to quash the rumors that several bodies were removed from the woods an hour later, remains to be seen”( p.125).

I chose this quotation because I found that it was cool how Rowling wrote this. I find that it has a lot of detail and made it very convincing that it could have been the Ministry’s fault. I like how Rowling used words like alleging or emerged to really help put a picture in our heads. I also like that it makes us want to keep reading because it has that it remains to be seen which makes me want to keep reading and find out if it was true.
