Non so neanche da che parte cominciare, sull'influenza che Harry Potter ha avuto su di me. Credo che siano state spese abbastanza parole, da così tanta gente che una mia recensione non possa servire più di tanto. E so di non essere l'unica a pensarla così, perchè sono innumerevoli le recensione che iniziano esattamente come questa. Lascio che siano persone molto più eloquenti a cercare di descrive cosa abbia significato e ancora significhi questa saga per me e per innumerevoli miei coetanei e non. Ma! So di voler dire almeno due cose:
1. Questa edizione è superlativa. Non mi ricordo chi per primo ho sentito dire che leggere HP in questo nuovo formato è come rileggerlo per la prima volta, ma sono d'accordo. Mi sono sentita di nuovo bambina a sfogliare le pagine senza considerare quello che so già accadrà nei prossimi libri.
2. Altro motivo per cui mi sembra di avere di nuovo sei anni o giù di lì: voglio il prossimo!!! Sul serio, li avrò letti tutti quanti almeno tre volte, ma ora come ora non vedo l'ora che esca il secondo, e so che sarà così ogni volta che avrò finito di leggere uno dei volumi.
E poi, c'è un modo migliore di iniziare l'anno che con la lettura di HP? Ovviamente no..

Carinissimo in questa versione, e lo dico io che non ascolto mai audiolibri.

ughhh this was SO good. it is a lot better than the movie, now that i'm thinking about it because the movie changed up a lot more things than i expected! like, neville originally being a part of main scenes, peeve the ghost not making it into the movies, and many more! >_<
i loved almost everything about this book from the setting description to the adventures and magic stuff - i was really sucked into this world. having watched the movie also helped me visualise everything easily. like, the movie was literally playing in my head as i read this book. plus, everything that i was confused about the movie was all explained in here, which i appreciate. this being a kids' fiction also made me absolutely devour it in just a few days.
the only problem i had with the book is the way that some characters were described especially at the beginning (dudley and uncle vernon) which did not sit right with me at all. it's miseducating a lot of kids who read this book, which is why i am giving this 4 stars instead of 5. however, i do understand that this was written in the 90's when people did not give one, but hey ho.
will deffo read the next book soon!

Harry Potter's life is miserable. His parents are dead and he's stuck with his heartless relatives, who force him to live in a tiny closet under the stairs. But his fortune changes when he receives a letter that tells him the truth about himself: he's a wizard. A mysterious visitor rescues him from his relatives and takes him to his new home, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
After a lifetime of bottling up his magical powers, Harry finally feels like a normal kid. But even within the Wizarding community, he is special. He is the boy who lived
There is a dangerous secret object hidden within the castle walls, and Harry believes it's his responsibility to prevent it from falling into evil hands
But doing so will bring him into contact with forces more terrifying than he ever could have imagined.
When I first started reading this book it was for my son at bedtime and by the second night, I was staying up late to continue reading it. The characters are wonderful. The magical world that J.K Rowlings has built in this book is just wonderful and she does a wonderful job describing it and drawing you in. I can’t wait to continue the adventures with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Happy reading everyone!!
