I Just Read: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Not a bad read, but I find the movie easier to follow…
That is just a product of the way that I best process material

You may think your own thoughts.

I do want to share two quotes from the book with you, though.

1. “Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.” Dumbledore, Chapter 17, page 298

This is so true, think of things that we don’t like to name…Death, Cancer, there are many…

2. “Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn’t realize that love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign. . . to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin. Quirrell, full of hatred, greed and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good.” Headmaster Dumbledore, Chapter 17, page 299

Think about the marks that those that have loved you deeply have left on you….think about how the memory of that person helps and protects you in its own way
