Once, I believed in separating the art from the artist, but this is the first time I've had to try doing so while the artist is still alive and using wealth gained from their art to cause suffering.
Writers have power, the living have power, and the wealthy have power. She is all of those things. I have to do what I can to take the power I gave her back, and this is it.
For children who have yet to be jaded by the world, this book will remain a staple.

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."
Moderate: Death, Death of parent, Murder, and Child abuse

“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! I haven't read this series since I was 11! That was 8 years ago! 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):
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
I can't wait to continue this re-read!
