I recently started reading the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
It wasn’t until I was just about finished with the first chapter that I realized that I was one of probably only a dozen people in the world that hadn’t read the first Harry Potter book. (I’m also one of only a likely handful that hasn’t seen the movie Titanic yet!) I thought I HAD read HP1 before, but it was the finer details that emerged from the book that I began to read that made me quickly realize otherwise.
Somehow, when I had first watched the movie, I never cottoned onto one of the most fundamental details of the story: the fact that Harry’s notoriety was solely caused by his survival of the attack by You-Know-Who. I had assumed it was caused more by the fact that it was somehow inexplicably known that he was GOING to be a great wizard of some kind in the future.
Signing off for a while — off to read more HP…
