It was so nice to experience this novel this way! It truly felt like I was reading Harry Potter agin for the first time! I've read these books several times over when I first started reading them until I completed the 7th instalment and I haven't really gone back to it since. And being that it's been almost a decade since finishing the 7th novel, it really does feel like starting all over again.

What I liked about this book, aside from the story, was for sure the illustrations! Jim Kay's art is beautiful and it adds to the total enjoyment of the first book.

I still feel that the 4 stars for this one is fair. Mainly because some of the character dynamics drove me nuts, and some parts I still felt could be described and explained better!

Great reread and I'm so excited for the rest in the illustrated series!

talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it

I decided to read this only because I’m so deep in HP fanfic that I needed some context.

Otherwise, read anything else but this transphobes work.
