Sorcerer's Stone 08: The Potions Master (discuss only this chapter and anything prior)

[Brianna]

no spoilers please

[Elizabeth]

I'm so amused by the fact that the place I was born is mentioned in this chapter! Can anyone guess? It's mentioned by Neville when he's telling us about his story prior to Hogwarts ;)

[Brianna]

Snape has a serious problem with Harry. Why would he know all those things right off the bat?
Also- love the snark he gave him! lol

[Brianna]

Elizabeth- I didn't see anything from Neville yet, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye out so I can guess!

[Elizabeth]

You know I should have said that in Chapter Seven not this one! :') Anyway hope you're enjoying it! You're right about Snape! it seems so unfair to push Harry the way he does.. Good to know Harry can be just as quick though.

[Brianna]

Blackpool?

[Elizabeth]

Well spotted ;)

[Brianna]

lol How fun to see something like that tho!

[Elizabeth]

It's good you understand my excitement :')

[Brianna]

Always! I love reading Lois Duncan books because she references my state/city a lot and the books take place (for the most part) within my region (the 4 corners part of the southwest).

[LENA]

If I were attending Hogwarts I think Potions would be my least favourite subject. Not because of Snape. I just think it would be too boring and too messy. Who needs potions when you can perform spells after all?

Snape, man you make it so easy to hate you.

[LENA]

Blackpool??? I just googled it! It looks so beautiful Elizabeth!!

[Elizabeth]

He gives us reason enough to hate him! I'll be doing some research into that author then Brianna!!

And yes, it mostly is!! Not so great weather but I love it!

[LENA]

Weather is an important factor indeed but it would be nice to go there once in a while! Especially if you have memories from your childhood! How long did you stay there? I most certainly would like to visit it!

[Brianna]

I think I may like Potions only because it reminds me a lot of baking-very specific (compared to cooking) and I love to bake. I love the precise nature of it.

Lois Duncan is who wrote I Know What You Did Last Summer!

[Elizabeth]

I think you'd like it! Do you travel a lot? I moved here when I was three and have lived here ever since!
That's a nice way of thinking about it Brianna, I like it! You can probably get quite creative with potion making! And thank you, will definitely be looking into him! Recognise that book

[LENA]

I've never thought of it like this Brianna. I love baking!

Oh you were so young when you moved! Unfortunately I don't travel a lot Elizabeth. It's an expensive hobby. I mostly travel around Greece (Greek islands in particular) and I have been to Czech Republic, UK (London), Turkey (Bodrum), Bulgaria and Albania. These days I have become obsessed with the idea of visiting Italy.

[Elizabeth]

It's an interesting new look at it!

Of course, I understand! But I would recommend Italy! It's beautiful!

Oh, wow, where have you been in Bulgaria? (I feel like such a stalker just jumping into the conversation like that :D)

I always thought of Potions as the wizarding version of Chemistry. I've always loved that subject, even chose my high-school based on that passion, but I wonder now if it had something to do with all that time spent reading Harry Potter. Like maybe I like Chemistry as a result of reading about Potions, rather than the other way around.

[Brianna]

That's definitely another way of looking at it Ria!
