I decided to reread the Harry Potter books, because they were my favorite as a kid. I still really enjoy reading them, but I am noticing a lot of plot holes 0-0… It’s still a really fun and nostalgic for me >u<.

2nd reread. Enjoyed it, but it just didn't live up to the hype. I think the film did this book justice.

First read of this children’s classic. I guess it doesn’t hit as good if you didn’t grow up loving the series. Narrative is okay, but I don’t think I’ll be reading the rest.

I am still currently trying to read this book. Will edit once finished.
I feel this book drags, quite possibly I am not the ideal reader as I do already have a basic knowledge of the world via the fandom but... it's just dragging on and on for me.

Edit: I have now finished the book and it dragged for me, I can see the appeal if you didn't already know all of the plot from other sources.
