i put this book down for quite a while but now i am back in new determination to finish it and i've been going through it real fast (probs cause it's a children's book) and i really enjoy it. i look forward to finishing and moving onto chamber of secrets.

i mean it's a universally loved kid's book so there's not much commentary to make on it. however i am wondering why a brazilian snake is speaking spanish and calling harry "amigo". wouldn't he be more likely to speak english than spanish or (most importantly) portuguese? or am i stupid and getting something confused?
