Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone cassette 3 of 6

At the end of cassette 3 Harry and co. have just made their way into the forbidden hallway on the 3rd floor. Rowling really starts to hit her stride during this tape. Possibly because she can actually get down to telling the story as opposed to cramming introductory material in. The writing seems to flow much better. I had forgotten just how irritating Hermione is. She does provide a nice foil to Harry and Ron though.
