Original Paragraph:
Early next morning, before the other two were awake, Harry left the tent to search the woods around them for the oldest, most gnarled, and resilient-looking tree he could find. There in its shadow be buried Mad-Eye Moody's eye and marked the spot by gouging a small cross in the bark with his wand. It was not much, but Harry felt that Mad-Eye would have much preferred this to being stuck on Dolores Umbridge's door. Then he returned to the tent to wait for the others to wake, and discuss what they were going to do next.
Harry and Hermione felt that it was best not to stay anywhere too long, and Ron agreed, with the sole proviso that their next move took them within reach of a bacon sandwich. Hermione therefore removed the enchantments she had placed around the clearing, while Harry and Ron obliterated all the marks and impressions on the ground that might show they had camped there. Then they Disapparated to the outskirts of a small market town.

I liked this part of the story because it had alot of very descriptive and rarely used words in it. Also, when authors use this type of language, they really paint a picture in your mind. And with a book series like Harry Potter, where there is all sorts of make-believe, the author really has to give us the image she is thinking of, or we have to make it up ourselves. And of course the author is thinking of a certain image when she is writing it, so she feels she has to show it to us. I really love it when authors use words well and use different ones than the over-used ones. The Harry Potter series is a wonderful series, and I would definately recommend it.
