Narrative Mode
The Story is mainly told in the past tense from a third person point of view. The writing tends to follow Muggles in a subjective manner, however sometimes events are told objectively. The Narritive shifts away from Muggles during some chapters towards the end to relay key events such as Mingy's efforts to block the mine and the rousing of Slipper on the Water by Walter the Earl.
