“There are all kinds of courage," said Dumbledore, smiling. "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."

I wish I read this when I was little and my third grade art teacher gifted my class our own copy. My only exposure to the series/fandom has been through memes and general internet browsing. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series and later watching the movies.

Initial thoughts:
Hagrid is my favorite character so far. Dumbledore is a close 2nd.
Draco is mean, but I have a feeling that may be a benefit later. I at least hope that's the case.
"Aww, Neville" seems like it will be a recurring phrase.
Quirrell reminds me of Cicero from Skyrim's Dark Brotherhood questline. This is not a compliment to either character.
