A low rumbling sound had broken the silence around them. It grew steadily louder as
they looked up and down the street for some sign of a headlight; it swelled to a
roar as they both looked up at the sky — and a huge motorcycle fell out of the air
and landed on the road in front of them. If the motorcycle was huge, it was nothing
to the man sitting astride it. He was almost twice as tall as a normal man and at
least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild —
long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he had hands the
size of trash can lids, and his feet in their leather boots were like baby
dolphins. In his vast, muscular arms he was holding a bundle of blankets.

The treetops of the Forbidden Forest swayed in a light breeze. Harry watched them,
savoring the fresh air on his face, thinking about Quidditch later … and then he
saw it. A great, reptilian winged horse, just like the ones pulling the Hogwarts
carriages, with leathery black wings spread wide like a pterodactyl’s, rose up out
of the trees like a grotesque, giant bird. It soared in a great circle and then
plunged once more into the trees. The whole thing had happened so quickly Harry
could hardly believe what he had seen, except that his heart was hammering madly.

I never saw a more interesting creature: his eyes have generally an expression of
wildness, and even madness, but there are moments when, if anyone performs an act
of kindness towards him or does him any the most trifling service, his whole
countenance is lighted up, as it were, with a beam of benevolence and sweetness
that I never saw equalled. But he is generally melancholy and despairing, and
sometimes he gnashes his teeth, as if impatient of the weight of woes that
oppresses him.

Her hair was the brightest living gold, and despite the poverty of her clothing,
seemed to set a crown of distinction on her head. Her brow was clear and ample, her
blue eyes cloudless, and her lips and the moulding of her face so expressive of
sensibility and sweetness that none could behold her without looking on her as of a
distinct species, a being heaven-sent, and bearing a celestial stamp in all her
features.

She was battered and beaten up, and not from smiling this time. Liesel could see it

Now, when I say that I am in the habit of going to sea whenever I begin to grow

Further on, from the bright red windows of the “Sword-Fish Inn,” there came such
fervent rays, that it seemed to have melted the packed snow and ice from before the

I will here venture upon a little description of him. He stood full six feet in
height, with noble shoulders, and a chest like a coffer-dam. I have seldom seen
such brawn in a man. His face was deeply brown and burnt, making his white teeth
dazzling by the contrast; while in the deep shadows of his eyes floated some
reminiscences that did not seem to give him much joy. His voice at once announced
that he was a Southerner, and from his fine stature, I thought he must be one of
those tall mountaineers from the Alleghanian Ridge in Virginia.

completely nervous, till you could clutch something—a hammer or a marling-spike,
and go to work like mad, at something or other, never mind what. Indolence and
idleness perished before him. His own person was the exact embodiment of his
utilitarian character. On his long, gaunt body, he carried no spare flesh, no
superfluous beard, his chin having a soft, economical nap to it, like the worn nap
of his broad-brimmed hat.
