2011 book 130

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Whenever ABC Family does a Harry Potter Weekend, it makes me want to reread the books (b/c they are so superior to the movies! And b/c they are awesome!). So I've been reading this one in little chunks for the past few days (and I still love it, every time I read it, and still get teary when Neville gets his points at the end). During this read, a small part of me wished for a happier story, where Snape saw that Harry was a lonely little boy and told him stories about his mother. Of course, that completely negates the actual narrative arcs as written, but I wished it anyway.
