Se fossi stata più giovane forse avrei capito tutte quelle persone che durante la loro infanzia hanno letto questo libro e lo hanno amato alla follia. Essendo arrivata molto dopo (ma non troppo), e sapendo che tipo di persona è l'autrice, ho avuto alcuni problemi durante l'ascolto dell'audiolibro. Pannofino è stato fantastico però!
Non sono d'accordo sul cambiamento di alcuni nomi dei personaggi, questo perché è stato fatto parzialmente (c'è ancora Piton e Silente all'appello, invece di Snape e Dumbledore).
La fatphobia è molto marcata
(perché non dare un nome alla signora del quadro quando anche tutti i fantasmi ne hanno uno? Perché utilizzare come parola segreta una frase così legata all'immagine di un maiale?)
.
Alcune scene personalmente le avrei tagliate dal libro
(che senso ha l'ultima prova delle pozioni? Se queste prove devono proteggere la pietra che senso ha dare al "ladro" gli indizi per trovare la pozione giusta e avanzare? boh)
.
Posso dire al 99% che in questo caso il film è molto meglio del libro perché si è liberato di tutte quelle scene extra che poi non sarebbero servite.
Una cosa che mi è piaciuta nel libro è stato il discorso tra Ron e Harry in treno, si nota di più l'umanità di Ron e le sue incertezze che forse nel film sono andate perse a favore del suo ruolo da clown.

This book is a childhood favorite. This year I decided to reread the whole series again and I definitely don’t regret it. The Sorcerer’s (or Philosophers ;) ) Stone is such a great kick off to a fantastic series. Following the young wizards as the learn about and navigate this new world they’ve found themselves in with new dangers they’ve never had to fight against. 

Of course this book comes with its share of criticism. I haven’t reread the series since JK Rowling exposed herself. I noticed a lot of small things in her writing style that caused me to raise on eyebrow. Harry Potter is always worth a read, I just believe it should be done with a fair criticism of the author at the same time.
