Day 2--Still Reading

Update: I'm happy to say the cartoonish feel of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" didn't persist much past the first chapter. I can't say whether this is because the style actually morphed into something I'm more comfortable with or I just got used to it. It feels like the former but may well be the latter. Even in the first chapter, the dialogue had a more natural feel than the accompanying physical descriptions. And indeed, it turns out that much of the dialogue in the movie is right out of the book, word for word.
