Harry Potter and Socerer's Stone, chap 10-11 on pg 163-193

In Halloween which is the title of chapter 10, stories are about something happened before and after Halloween. Before the Halloween feast, Harry was given a new broomstick called a Nimbus Two Thousand by prof. McGonagall who wants to win Syltherine at the Quiddditch game. Then, Harry learned how to play the Quidditch from Wood of the Gryffindor team's captain. Harry was interested in the Quidditch more and more. At the halloween feast, a twelve-foot troll appeared in the dungeons and all of the students except Hermonie went to a safe place to escape the troll, Harry and Ron went to Hermonie in the bathroom to save her. At last, Harry and Ron saved her from the troll and they became good friends each others after the halloween feast.

In Quidditch which is the title of chapter 11, Harryplayed the Quidditch game as a seeker at the first time, which means his role is to catch a small ball called the Golden Snitch. During the game, Harry lost to control his broomstick, so he was danger. At that time, Hermonie saw prof. Snape was staring at Harry and was muttering to him continously. To help Harry, she approached Snape and set his robe on fire. With her help, Harry caught the Golden Snitch and led to win the game. Harry suspected more Prof. Snape 's after protected something.

I think the Quidditch is one of the most surprising events in Harry Potter. How does J.K. Rowling, the writer, think this game? This game is similiar to basketball and soccer. However, flying in this game is differnt from these sports. Furthermore, a three-heads dog and twelve-foot troll is interesting creatures. First of all, Hagrid said only a dark magic makes a broomstick so hard to damage. I also suspect maybe Prof. Snape is the dark.
