A review by yannahbelsss_
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling
4.0
ughhh this was SO good. it is a lot better than the movie, now that i'm thinking about it because the movie changed up a lot more things than i expected! like, neville originally being a part of main scenes, peeve the ghost not making it into the movies, and many more! >_<
i loved almost everything about this book from the setting description to the adventures and magic stuff - i was really sucked into this world. having watched the movie also helped me visualise everything easily. like, the movie was literally playing in my head as i read this book. plus, everything that i was confused about the movie was all explained in here, which i appreciate. this being a kids' fiction also made me absolutely devour it in just a few days.
the only problem i had with the book is the way that some characters were described especially at the beginning (dudley and uncle vernon) which did not sit right with me at all. it's miseducating a lot of kids who read this book, which is why i am giving this 4 stars instead of 5. however, i do understand that this was written in the 90's when people did not give one, but hey ho.
will deffo read the next book soon!
