Discussing Potter - Philosophers Stone Chapters 1-4

A few months ago I joined  The Wizarding World Book Club , ignorant of the fact most Potter related goodness comes throughout the year and not just the 31st of July I have now found myself rather behind. Typically I know I can catch up, but I thought I'd share my own review for each theme as I work my way through it, because why not.
