[the_old_crowd] Re: There Be Giants Ahead was Redeeming Hagrid

Regarding Giants....

If you look at the end of Sorcerer's Stone at the
different challenges that Harry faced to get to the
stone, there are several interesting things.

Someone else brought this up about parallels with the
ending of Book One and the seven books in the series. 
If you look at the next to the last task, you see
Snape's potion challenge.  It describes the different
bottles of potions.  It also says:

"Neither dwarf nor giant holds death in their
insides."

I think the next book has dwarf and giant stories to
tell!

Since both are considered inferiors to wizards,
Padfoot's remark about how one treats his inferiors
seems important to this too.  Harry will obviously
befriend the giants and dwarves and they will help him
somehow.

I also wonder about the line that reads:
"Three of us are killers, waiting hidden in line."

I think Book One has lots of clues for the series.
