This was the first time I read a Harry Potter book, even though it had been out for over 20 years. I loved it. It was funny and exciting! There were no dull moments at all. I wouldn't say I liked the Dursleys for obvious reasons, especially the bullying bit of everyone in the family. Harry, Ron, and Hermione's friendship were top-notch. I also love that Hermione's view changed throughout the story, and she befriended the boys. Their unity was commendable, and their friendship; was heartwarming. I liked that Albus Dumbledore was also chill and funny; with his look, he would be mistaken as uptight, but not at all. Hagrid, you sweet giant, bless your heart. Let's go, Gryffindor! And hey, Draco, even if you're meant to be the villain, you had your moments. Neville, damn boy. You improved a lot. Quirrel, I had a feeling about you, and you turned out to be with the dark forces. Damn. Overall, a good read. The audiobook narration added intensity; I commend the narrator as well. (I read this on my Kindle) I also liked that everything had a purpose, like a flute and chess, etc. Good one, JK✨

It's was a reread. A reread I really needed to cope with things and it just did the job justice. This is really a world I can just lose myself into and I'm appreciating it even more.
