i'm buddy reading Harry Potter with my mother. it's my 928491th reread. it's her first after watching the films 928491 times with me. here's what we thought about book 1.

my verdict: i would not have followed the spiders. also, my least favourite book in the series is still better than most of the books i've read my entire life. who would've thought (spoiler alert: everyone)
mum's: "i would not have followed the spiders. i love hagrid. draco malfoy's something else, isn't he?"

let's see if i can convert her into a drarry shipper until the end of the series. also, she complained about the brazilian translation in this one too. granted, it's even worse than book one.

(so you have an idea, the translator decided Hermione was difficult for kiddos to say and shortened it to Mione. all. the. fucking. time. but she deemed it cute to make harry into a seer (clearly already thinking about the next book) by leaving out the very sentence that leads him to figure Myrtle was the one who died when the chambers was first opened)
