Pure nostalgia is what this book exudes. 

Even if you’re a first time reader or a re-reader you can’t help but be enthralled by the world presented in this book. 

Though I love this story, i feel like it must be stated that i do not tolerate its author’s actions and beliefs, and i try my best to separate the author from its creation.

 i’m excited to read the rest of the series as it picks up momentum since the reason why it took me so long to read this books is that it was very easy for me to put it down ( up until the last two or three chapters as the climax approaches) but that is expected seeing as it is the first book. 

Can’t wait to start the next one <3

Audiobook - 8 hours 24 minutes - I found this very hard to rate and review. How does one place a number on a book I have read probably at least 8 times, that I have loved for nearly a decade, especially in the wake of discourse which tarnishes the author and certain content and themes within the novel? This is my attempt. The writing style is extremely good - engaging, easy to read, but not childish or patronising. The plot is very good once Harry gets to Hogwarts: before this it is a little slow-going and could be better being shorter. There is something extremely comforting about the world the books are built in which makes it instantly enjoyable. It is very difficult to separate nostalgia, frustration, and genuine feelings about this book series, but I tried.
