this book is an enthralling start to harry’s journey in the magical wizarding world. harry is a young boy who could only dream of pure happiness, this is because of the treatment his adoptive family gives him. 

on his 11th birthday harry discovers something he couldn’t even imagine and this is where his long adventure begins.

this book is pure magic on pages and a book everyone has to read in their life. even as an older teen this book still holds the same magic that it did when i was eleven myself.

Regal theaters is showing all the Harry Potter movies and I got so excited I decided to reread all the books. I haven’t read them in about ten years. I still find them clever, funny, charming, and surprising. 

It feels a bit funny to know the Harry Potter world and people so intimately and yet to be back at the very beginning before none of us knew how spectacular the whole thing was. I love seeing the way the friendship develops between Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid, and the way Harry grows from an abused child to someone happy and self-confident. 

I still love these books and always will.
