Yes, I finally read Harry Potter!

I'm not quite sure how to review a book so popular which has been probably reviewed by everyone so I'll just talk about my thoughts.

I quite enjoyed it, I've seen the movies and I know them all by heart so reading about those scenes in detail and more made me feel so nostalgic. It was also as if I was fixing the plot holes in the movies like, what actually happened in certain scenes, what's going through the characters' heads, etc.

I also noted how we've been cheated, Neville wasn't included in the movies nearly as much as he was in the books (Also, what an adorable baby. He was my favourite.) He's in so many of the vital scenes and it finally makes more sense when he tries to stop the trio from going at night.

Draco and Snape, they annoyed me in the movies but I really disliked them in the book. Draco was a prat (I swear if he insulted Hufflepuff one more time...) but Snape (who I usually kind of like) was just the straight up example of teachers abusing their power. And there is nothing that angers me more than that. Everytime he wrongfully took points from Gryffindor, it made me wanna kick him.

Surprisingly, I was through more than half of the book when we finally got to Hogwarts and everything that happened after that was sort of rushed. Not an issue and it didn't put me off at all but it was something I noted.

I was a bit shocked when I read the scenes involving the Golden trio prior to them becoming friends. Ron, especially. In the movies he's more of the kind to go along with everything, says what the audience is thinking and is generally fun. He's one of the characters I fiercely defend but now I'm wondering if that's because of Rupert Grint's performance because in the book Ron comes off as rude and well, not very likable.

Overall, I really did enjoy the Philosopher's Stone and I'll be starting the next one soon.
