Horror for Newbies
A Goodreads user asked this question about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1):
I have watched all the Harry Potter films loads of times and I love them but is it worth it reading the books if I know what is going to happen?
Dilly Kong No. I would rate it four, but it reminded me how my cousin Jake came to me with a wand and harassed the shit out of me. He claimed he could do magic w…moreNo. I would rate it four, but it reminded me how my cousin Jake came to me with a wand and harassed the shit out of me. He claimed he could do magic with his wand. The one he would do the most is the voodoo doll trick. He would get my teddy bear, stab it with a knife, then had his best friend impale me in the spine with a spoon. Every time he would do it, a part of my body would be paralyzed. My parents would sit there, clapping for Jake. I would try to call the police, but my parents would beat me saying, "You can't call the police on your family!" One day though, my mom and dad weren't home, and he did the trick, so I called the cops. When they arrived, Jake's girlfriend was there, so he accused me of raping her, and everyone there supported my story, even though some of they all had just witnessed him stabbing me. I went to prison for 5 years, then Jake's girlfriend turned him in. Oh yeah, by the way, Jake was 8 when he would do this trick to me. It fucking sucked, like this book does.
