The answer is 2: a piece of writing in a magazine or newspaper.

Explanation:

  • Option 1: "a thing or object" is incorrect because the sentence refers to something that Harry was reading, not a physical object.
  • Option 2: "a piece of writing in a magazine or newspaper" is correct because the context of the sentence indicates that Harry was reading something, which aligns with this definition of "article."
  • Option 3: "(grammar) the word $a$, an, or the" is incorrect because the sentence is not discussing grammatical articles but rather something that was read.
