This book was like a warm cozy drink.
Could not put it down - read it in two sittings.
And all the characters are absolutely precious!! Their friendship was MUCH more apparent in the book than the movie

Really easy read but such a good story! Harry and the gang are destined for greatness… the dark lord grows power slowly but he will be back I have no doubt.

omg omg omg no matter how many times i read this book i still fall in love with the whole series all over again.Harry lost his parents in unimaginable circumstances and leads to almost 10 years of suffering without ever knowing the truth.His aunt and uncle thinks that if he doesnt know who or what he really is,they can stop the magic in him,which makes me hate them all.
I love how the letters kept finding him and how hagrid gave dudley a pig's tail.Or how hermione is such a bookworm,and always says rules are to be followed cause they could be expelled,and at the first sign of trouble what does she do?set a teachers robe on fire and seems to break rules without realizing it or knowingly but still keep preaching about getting expelled.its cute
