Throughout Harry’s life, his main enemy has always been his cousin Dudley. While Dudley was fat and stupid and mean however, his new adversary is the exact opposite of that. Draco Malfoy is thin, good looking, and intelligent. He is also much meaner than Dudley could ever hope to be. Beyond [...]

When looking in depth at Diagon Alley, the thing that hits me is the description of Gringotts. The things that Hagrid tells Harry in this chapter lay silently in the back of our minds, waiting to strike. Hagrid tells Harry you’d be mad to try and rob Gringotts. That the bank extends [...]

Probably the bit of fore-shadowing that screams right out at me here in chapter 4 is about Voldemort himself. Hagrid is describing how Voldemort disappeared, but that he doesn’t think that he’s dead. About how he doesn’t think there was enough human left in him to die. How very right [...]

Having finally borrowed a copy of Sorcerers Stone, (SS) since I can’t find mine, I have re-read chapter one of Book 1. That’s right, way back at the beginning. Since my predecessor on this blog has already written a darn fine synopsis of this first chapter for those who have read all the [...]
