Finished The Sorcerer's Stone and had a few general thoughts:

• The book did seem to pick up a bit as it went along, so I wasn't distracted as much by the writing style.
  
  
• However, I was distracted by all the American words and terms. They kept making me pause.
  
  
• Book!Dumbledore > Movie!Dumbledore. In fact, all the teachers are better in the book, but I guess you can only focus on so much in a movie.
  
  
• Also nice is the bit more detail you get about the generation before. In the movies that doesn't seem to start coming out until later.
  
  
• Draco is one of the most one-dimensional characters I've ever read. It's both amusing and annoying. Amoying!
  
  
• Still not shipping any wee children.
