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.

Did it take me far too long to start listening to this series?! Yes. Did it play like a well-loved movie in my head? Yes. 

I can’t wait to get deeper into this world and feel fully immersed in the literary world of Harry Potter!

I wish JKR weren't such a turd because this is just as magical and whimsical and warm as ever. she's really sullied her own legacy. that said I did knock the rating down a bit for the fatphobia, which just gets more egregious each time I reread this series.
