cherryboo's review against another edition

It's a decent book! BUT there are so so so many parts that age horrifically (the insane amount of fatphobia and racism about Sikh men to name a few), and that's so disappointing, but I won't deny that I would've loved this book as a kid, and so, I feel for people who had their hearts crushed by Rowling's recent horrific actions.
She's still absolutely horrid, and, wow, her writing has aged so much worse than many other authors of her era. I think her time has long gone though, and so while I'm glad to have read this, I don't plan on continuing as I think I've seen enough.

Moderate: Racism

on his 11th birthday harry discovers something he couldn’t even imagine and this is where his long adventure begins.
this book is pure magic on pages and a book everyone has to read in their life. even as an older teen this book still holds the same magic that it did when i was eleven myself.
