I read these ages ago, of course, but have been wanting to reread them since...well, since a long time ago. Instead of rereading, though, I'm listening to the audiobooks. I really don't think Rowling gets enough credit for her writing. Great plot, of course, but really, the writing itself is pretty good too.

I don't know why I waited so long to read a Harry Potter book. It had me hooked. So well written and captivating. I get the hype.

This is such a wonderful book, I don't know how anyone could come up with such an interesting world and a wonderful story line full of mysteries to go with it. This was the second time I had read this book and plan on reading the whole series for a second time
