Pure nostalgia is what this book exudes. 

Even if you’re a first time reader or a re-reader you can’t help but be enthralled by the world presented in this book. 

Though I love this story, i feel like it must be stated that i do not tolerate its author’s actions and beliefs, and i try my best to separate the author from its creation.

 i’m excited to read the rest of the series as it picks up momentum since the reason why it took me so long to read this books is that it was very easy for me to put it down ( up until the last two or three chapters as the climax approaches) but that is expected seeing as it is the first book. 

Can’t wait to start the next one <3

I love these books but J.K. Rowling is garbage, and there are some issues with the books (fatphobia, racism, transphobia, sexism, etc.). I might recommend reading them because I do love them, but keep in mind that the author is terrible, and also don't support her financially. Get used copies, borrow them from friends, etc.

Edit: Also, now that I'm rereading them for the first time in a few years, I'm not sure I actually would recommend them to anyone new; if you don't have that preexisting attachment to them, and you're aware of how hurtful she is and how those views definitely impact the books, then I'm really not sure they'd have the same impact at all.
