The movies really down play Neville’s part in things and that he’s a really valuable character. They also downplay how fucking rude Draco is. Like man Draco is adorable but book Draco is hateful as hell. Same with how straight up abusive his family was. I thought this book was pretty cute and exciting in how it introduces you to magic and Harry’s new life.

Why the heck did I not read Harry Potter before now...its flipping magical (literally).  But better late than never, no?  I grew up with the films and was therefore never interested in reading Harry Potter.  I was afraid of getting bored since most of the story is familiar from films.  Now I finally dared to read the story and loved it very much. 

However, I have to say that I'm not the biggest fan of the writing style. Of course the story is beautiful, but many scenes were too little embellished and dealt with too quickly for me, as was the development of some friendships and relationships. 
Nevertheless, I love the story very much and will start with the second volume as soon as possible
