I'm aware of the controversies by the author, but I do believe in separating the work from the creator. Everyone knows about the story of Harry Potter and why it is such a global favorite. I never got myself into the world of wizardry, and right now, must be my day. I won a reading contest here in the Philippines and receive a Harry Potter Series (In PDF) as my award. I decided to try out the first volume during my free time, and I've gotta say, this book might be the reason that I might turn into a potterhead.
I must confessed that I have watched the first film of Harry Potter going into this. So I do get a grip of what was going on in the book, and I know everyone who has read Harry Potter has said this. But I would like to agree with them on this, the book IS better than the movie. It has answered my questions about the movie which is an upvote for me. I didn't want to compare the movie and book that much, cause both have their uniqueness.
I have gotta to say how interesting and adventurous the book is and how the writing helps with picking up on how the story is being told. I did get confused with the Magical Jargons, but a simple search helps with the understanding of the world of wizards. I love Ron and Hermione's interaction the most. And also the book did a somewhat splendid job in hiding the antagonist's identity and motive. (The movie made it easier for me to idenify the villain right away hahahaha)
Overall, the book was great.
