New Book: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

I picked a new book last week and I have to say it's probably one that most people have already finished. I'm starting the Harry Potter series. The book so far is very interesting and I have seen the movie but it was probably 5 years ago. Plus, the movie leaves out some parts that people like to see. I do a better job with these fantasy books because they let my poor visualization skills breathe a little and my imagination can take off. I've had people egging me on about this series for the past couple years and I've finally decided to give it a try.

The book so far, I can tell is going to be pretty good. I like whats going on and the plot is beginning to pick up at a steady rate. I'm about a fourth into it and it looks great. And even though I like as much as I do already, people have told me that this is the worst book in the series. The series must be pretty good if that's the case.

As for my visualization. For some reason, unknown to any, I don't visualize the characters of Harry Potter like they are in the movie. To me, I keep seeing them as the characters from construction paper cutout show South Park. I can't unsee that. I don't know why.
