Boom. They knocked again. Dudley Jerked awake.
“Where’s the cannon?” he said stupidly.
There was a crash behind them and Uncle Vernon came skidding into
the room. He was holding a rifle in his hands – now they knew what
had been in the long, thin package he had brought with them.
“Who’s there?” he shouted. “I warn you – I’m armed!”
There was a pause. Then –
SMASH!
The door was hit with such a force that it swung clean off its hinges
and with a deafening crash landed flat on the floor.
A giant of a man was standing in the doorway. His face was almost
completely hidden by a long shaggy mane of hair and a wild, tangled
beard, but you could make out his eyes, glinting like black beetles
under all the hair.
The giant squeezed his way into the hut, stooping so that his head just
brushed the ceiling. He bent down, picked up the door and fitted it
easily back into its frame. The noise of the storm outside dropped
a little. He turned to look at them all.

Create a PEE paragraph explaining how language
is used to build tension in this passage

Language is often used to create tension. In Harry

Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone there are many
examples of this. For example, onomatopoeia such as
“boom” and “SMASH” are used in chapter four to
build tension. Onomatopoeia are particularly good at
building tension in writing as they make the
description more vivid and real, therefore making the
reader imagine these sounds.
