Colin Creevey  After Harry and Ron's remarkable arrival at school they watch the Sorting Ceremony through a window – a "very small, mousey-haired boy had been called forward to place the hat on his head". After lunch the next day he introduces himself to Harry QUOTE "All right, Harry? I'm – I'm Colin Creevey," he said breathlessly, taking a tentative step forward. "I'm in Gryffindor, too. D'you think – would it be all right if – can I have a picture?" he said, raising the camera hopefully. Much to Draco's delight Colin not only wants a photo of Harry he wants it signed! From that point onwards star-struck Colin, with his camera at the ready, follows Harry whenever possible, apparently having "memorised Harry's timetable". On his way to visit Harry in the hospital wing Colin meets the basilisk which attacks and petrifies him, luckily for Colin he's snap-happy and can't wait to photograph it - which saves his life.Some things to think about: 1) Colin knew nothing of the Wizarding World before receiving his letter from Hogwarts so why is he so interested in Harry and his survival of Voldemort's attack? 2) Why did the Sorting Hat put Colin into Gryffindor? 3) We see little of the students outside Harry's year, why is Colin's character so prominent? 4) Is Colin's interest in photography just a hobby or does it have greater significance? Perhaps you have other questions or theories you'd like to discuss regarding Colin's role in the Chamber of Secrets?
