 “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!

The movies really down play Neville’s part in things and that he’s a really valuable character. They also downplay how fucking rude Draco is. Like man Draco is adorable but book Draco is hateful as hell. Same with how straight up abusive his family was. I thought this book was pretty cute and exciting in how it introduces you to magic and Harry’s new life.
