Book 25 of 2015- "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" by J.K. Rowling

I got the first book from the library finally, hopefully I can read them in order from now on.
I remember reading this book in 3rd grade, and I can't remember how many times I've read it since. It has been a long time though.
I remember how scary the scene in the Forbidden Forest was, and how scary it is when they are trying to get to the Sorcerer's Stone. But something about that- how hard could the enchantments have been, if 3 first year students could beat them?? And how DOES Harry get away with breaking the rules all the time? I mean, really. He is doing the most ridiculous things and they keep saying, "Well, since you had good reasons and something good came out of it, you won't get in trouble."
But the thing that I do like about this book is that he seems like a normal boy for part of the story, at least. Through the seven books he goes through a lot in the quest to beat Voldemort, so it's nice to see him acting like a normal 11 year old for once.



And I'm halfway through my reading goal for the year! I only read 2 books in 2 months back in April/May, so I have a lot of work to catch up.
