First read: fall 2010
Second read: fall 2025

With 15 years passed and many J.K. Rowling scandals later and these books are just as magical and fun as I remembered. It feels like catching up with an old friend. Glad I still had them in my possession to revisit them (and not have to give that terf more money).
