Phillip’s Reviews > Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone > Status Update

Plugging along...trying to grade final essays while finding time for Harry. I cannot believe how close the film is to this novel...it could serve as the screenplay for the film! Anyhow, interesting to contrast how this initial “kid’s book” changed so drastically into a serious work of literature later. The fifth book, for example, is significantly advanced in every way from the writing here...
