Did any of these children know what was going on in the world around that time?
"What on earth is a chocolate frog?" That sounded like nonsense and gibberish.
Wow, that guy was old. Well...no? The real person was long dead. This guy was just a portrait. So though he had been painted a long time ago he was not technically
old because portraits didn't age. But thinking about that for too long made Olly's brain hurt. He was distracted anyway because the guy didn't know what chocolate frogs were. What kind of a live could he have lived with without knowing what chocolate frogs were??
But Olly had another question.
"How long did it take to paint this portait of you? Did you have to sit for a long time? Who painted it?" Artists were important too.
