I finished SS! It took me a lot longer than I had hoped, but isn't that the way that life seems to happen? Anyways, this section had some of my favorite parts in the entire series.
1. Through the Trapdoor
This is chapter 16 of SS, and by far one of my favorites in the entire series. When I was younger, I loved the obstacles that Harry, Ron, and Hermione had to overcome to reach the Stone. My favorite, though, was Snape's. The logic puzzle with the potions was brilliant in my eyes, and I always wanted to have the bottles in front of me so I could prove my aptitude at logic, just like Hermione. Thinking back, I think that I always appreciated that Ron, Hermione, and Harry were all vital in the quest for the Stone. None of them could have reached the Stone without the other two. This foreshadows the quest they go on for the Horcruxes in DH, and is a motif pulled throughout the entire series.
2. The Man with Two Faces
This is the final chapter of SS, and has some of my favorite quotes from Dumbledore. Here are a few:
"To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
"As much money and life as you could want! The two things human beings would choose above all- the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them."
"The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution."
SS has always been one of my favorite HP books. Now to move onto CoS!
