I never read the Harry Potter books as a kid but I was a fan of the movies, starting to read the series now has been very nostalgic and I can't wait to read the rest of the books. 

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone does an amazing job at transporting you into another world and it was so great to dig into the fantasy genre. 

"to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin."

 “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.”

Aaaah I can't believe I'm reading this again! Reading this book felt almost exactly like watching the movies, but of course there are those little details and characters that got skipped from the movies. This book was so funny as well, and just reading the lines and quotes made me feel like the actors were saying them again. There's just truly something special with the Harry Potter series, and it might be due to nostalgia but still.

In terms of ranking, I only have one book to rank (for now):
  1. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

I can't wait to continue this re-read!
