Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: Chapter 1 - Analysis in 5 points

Aug 23, 2022
  • The book opens with the JK Rowling introducing us to Mr and Mrs Dursley, and their baby son Dudley. They live on Privet Drive and try to act as if "they were perfectly normal, thank you very much" 🙈

  • The narrator then took on the task of letting us know how unusually the day was. For instance, a cat was reading a map (or looking at it 🤔), and several people in the street wearing brightly-coloured cloaks were talking about “the Potters,”. Who was supposed to be Vernon Dursley's sister-in-law and her family.

  • Then in the next scene, Albus Dumbledore enters the scene with his silver cigarette lighter (pardon for using this muggle term). He enters with this Put-Outer/ Deluminator (whatever it is I am confused now!)😕. Then he walks over to the cat, which has transformed into Professor McGonagall.

  • They talk about You-Know-Who, and McGonagall confirmed the death of James and Lilly Potter. Dumbledore told her that Voldemort🐍 was defeated when he tried to kill Harry👶 and couldn't – that stopped his power from working somehow.

  • Hagrid arrives on Serious Black's enchanted motorcycle, carrying baby Harry who is a very tiny black-haired baby with a lightning-shaped scar⚡ on his forehead. Dumbledore leaves Harry on the doorstep with a letter. While he talks to Hagrid and McGonagall, "Scars can come in useful."

Creator's Note:

Become a member of this creator account to listen to a full detailed podcast that explains the Harry Potter series from the preceptive of an adult man reading it for the second time. Combining all of the knowledge from the complete canon, information from the wizarding world, and fan theories will spark new questions, and uncover new subtle clues and plotholes.

Since this podcast is something that I had started just as a passion project. I want you all to participate in this cause that is why I have kept the base membership of this podcast for just $3.

I will be using these donations for the improvement of this podcast and my first checklist is to buy a good mike, that will improve the audio quality. As currently, I am recording from my smartphone's speaker.

One more initiative that I will be starting with your donations is. For every member that I would be having in this creator account (Can't I Potter), I will be donating one dollar per member for a charitable cause per month. This charity will be chosen by you all from a list that I will be uploading every month.
