My favourite book series from childhood. It's really slow in the beginning but picks up after a few chapters. Loved the nostalgia!

Ending the year on a good note by finishing Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, which I reread with my bestie Ofélia. I gave it a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 rating the first time I read it and being back at Hogwarts still feels equally magical as the first time I entered this world. Fun fact: it wasn’t until my time at uni that I finally got to read the books and watch the films, since my mum didn’t let me as a kid because she thought Dobby (of all magical beings!) would haunt me in my sleep. 🧚‍♂️

I’d forgotten how fun these books are to read, how funny Dumbledore and Ron are, and I appreciated the brave Neville Longbottom even more this time. Bless his pure soul! I wish I could give him a big hug. 🐸
