Peer pressure is a mighty force.

I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone today. Everyone's doing it. I can now go see the movie with my mother and not be confused. Plus, the good-looking lesbian I met last week told me I should. And so, in what is becoming my usual fashion, a pair of thoughts:

--I hope the movie is better than the book. J.K. Rowling spends seven chapters explaining things. I wanted to yell at her, "Show, don't tell!"

--No wonder people talk about George/Fred twincest. They're the most likable characters in the whole book, although Dumbledore is a close second.

Yes. The fourth book seems to be a huge set-up. Then again, it's the halfway point of the series, which probably has a lot to do with that.

The last chapter and a half are very difficult reading.

I found it quite disturbing. It's definitely a move into more mature territory in the books.
