　　Part 2：Bolvangar
　　On the journey north，the group stops at the witch consulate，where they learn thatthe witches have long prophesiedq）the coming of a child like Lyra．This must havesomething to do with what the Master and the Librarian of Jordan College were talkingabout in Part 1．During the pit stop，the travelers recruit Lee Scoresby’a hot airballoonist from Texas，to join their group．Lyra and friends also stage the daring rescueoof an armored polar bear named Iorek．Iorek is a powerful bear whose soul is hisarmor@．He was exiled from his kingdom after killing another bear in the heat ofpassion．Lyra helps Iorek get his armor back from the people in the town who havestolen it，and in return’Iorek joins the group on their mission．
　　The journey north continues．Lyra and Iorek break away from the main group tovisit a small town where they find out just what the General Oblation Board（a．k．a．theGobblers）have been doing to all those children：cutting away their daemons．They findlittle Tony Makarios’whose daemon Ratter has been replaced by a dried piece of fish．Everyone is horrified’especially Lyra and Pan．Lyra has Tony buried respectfully with acoin given to him to represent his daemon．Shortly after，Lyra is captured and spiritedaway from her friends by traders on the journey north．
　　After Lyra’S capture，the setting shifts：we’re now at the General Oblation Board’Scamp in the North，where the board cuts the children away from their daemons．Thetraders have sold Lyra t0 what looks like a kind of prison／medical camp．She uses a fakename，telling her captors that she’S Lizzie Brooks，and pretends to be dim．witted．
　　Inside，Lyra sees Billy Costa，the gyptian child of Ma Costa，and meets at long lastwith her friend Roger，the kitchen boy from Oxford．They form a plan to escape。During a fire drill，they run into the witch queen Serafina Pekkala’S daemon．Beforethey can carry out their escape plan’Lyra is caught spying and taken to the silverguillotine@used to sever@children from their daemons．Mrs。Coulter arrives just in timeand saves Lyra from being severed from Pan．
　　Lyra escapes from her scary mother once again and rejoins the gyptians，who arenOW fighting the Bolvangar forces．Lyra，Roger，and Iorek take off in Scoresby’S hot airballoon and，along with Serafina Pekkala，head for Svalbard，the land of the bearswhere Lord Asriel iS imprisoned．
