The illustrations in this book are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I highly recommend it! (And plan on getting the Chamber of Secrets!)

I think I would die if Jim Kay ever illustrated Lord of the Rings or the A Song of Ice and Fire series!

I can't believe I've just read this for the first time in 2025 at the age of 28. Delightful stuff.

First read: fall 2010
Second read: fall 2025

With 15 years passed and many J.K. Rowling scandals later and these books are just as magical and fun as I remembered. It feels like catching up with an old friend. Glad I still had them in my possession to revisit them (and not have to give that terf more money).
