Observation 1: Cognitive Development. As far as language development for late childhood goes, Harry displays competence in pragmatics. This is observed in his conversations with his peers. He displays a quick wit, especially when conversing with Dudley, and with Draco, a boy he does not much care for at Hogwarts. He has a good understanding of the nuances of language and intonation, which can be seen when he is able to get his message clearly across while being cleverly insulting with his words.
