solidified(173)- to make solid, into a hard or compact mass

Figurative Language
1.Silence spread outward in cold ripples from the place where the patronus had landed.(160)- this is imagery because its easy to see in your mind exactly whats happening.
2. Dust swirled around Harry like mist, catching the blue gaslight, as Mrs.Black continued to scream.(171)- This again is imagery because it gives a clear picture of whats happening, and its detailed and descriptive.
3.His scar had burned again as something flashed across his mind like a bright light on water(172)- his is figurative language and it might be a simile because its comparing his scar hurting to light on water.

Quote
"The Ministy has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming."(159)- this is a very important quote because Kingsley says it with his patronus to warn the guests at the wedding that the Death Earters were going to attack and so it gave people time to escape, but not much.

Theme.
The Theme of the book so far is that you have to keep your friends close and just in general friendship.
