OK, I've got to admit this really was unusually good timing, 'cause I had just started to read it over again to my boys.
I had started it back last year, and we got about half way through, and it all got bogged down, and they couldn't remember who was which...But. Since then we've seen HP3, (Four times in my case, damn! That was a good movie. Not a big fan of the other two.) which was a great refresher, so OK. Gonna start it again. Now I have finished the book, myself, so no problem on spoilers and such.
But anyway. We have just finished chapter one, and I must say, the thing that really strikes me after just the first chapter is, Harry, ya know what, I really don't like you very much.
*ducks down to hide from HPfandom folks*
Now Dudley is clearly supposed to be repulsive, as any bully is, but I did not expect Harry to be, in his own way, just as bad. Harry always had a sweet inner core, prior to this, but, especially in this chapter, I really found it to be suddenly lacking. And jeez, what a drama queen.
Alrighty then. *flings ball out into court* A few hours early, I suppose, but what say you?
