The magical world is weird

Many people read the book first and then watch the movie. I watch the movie first. The main reason is that this kind of magical world is very magical, and the pictures are also very strange and attractive. Visually very exciting and satisfying.

Especially when you go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, you need to take the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 and 3/4 between Platforms 9 and 10 of King's Cross Railway Station. This section is very impressive and feels particularly novel.

There is also the starry sky dome of Hogwarts Hall, the admission notice and the talking sorting hat flying all over the sky on a broomstick, moving stairs and patterns, ghosts on the dining table, half-horsemen in the Black Forest, and the sky riding a broom The ball game, the jumping chocolate frog, the magic wand shop in Diagon Alley, the invisible cloak, the witchcraft flag...Everything in the magical world is very strange, and I especially want to experience it.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone quotes

  • [about the Bludgers]

    Oliver Wood: Nasty little buggers.

  • Hagrid: You all right there, Harry? You seem very quiet.

    Harry: He killed my parents, didn't he?

    [puts a hand to his scar]

    Harry: The one who gave me this?

    [Hagrid is silent]

    Harry: You know, Hagrid. I know you do.

    [Hagrid sighs and pushes his bowl aside]

    Hagrid: First - and understand this, Harry, 'cause it's very important - not all wizards are good. Some of them go bad. A few years ago there was one wizard that went as bad as you can go, and his name was V-

    [sighs]

    Hagrid: his name was V...

    Harry: Maybe if you wrote it down...

    Hagrid: Nah, I can't spell it. Alright

    [whispers]

    Hagrid: 'Voldemort'

    Harry: [loudly] Voldemort?

    Hagrid: Shhh! It was dark times, Harry, dark times. Voldemort started to gather some followers, brought 'em over to the dark side. Anyone who stood up to him ended up dead. Your parents fought against him, but nobody lived once he decided to kill them. Nobody... not one... 'cept you.

    Harry: Me? Voldemort tried to kill... ME?

    Hagrid: Yes. That ain't no ordinary cut on your forehead. A mark like that only comes from being touched by a curse, and an evil curse at that.

    Harry: What happened to Vol- to You-Know-Who?

    Hagrid: Well, some say he died. Codswallop in my opinion. Nope, I reckon he's still out there, too tired to carry on. But one thing's certain, something about you stumped him that night. That's why you're famous, Harry, that's why everybody knows your name. You're the boy who lived.
