Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling
4.0
I always wanted to read Harry Potter, but I was always more into movies and TV shows, so I always found a reason to just stick to the movies, but oh, how I was wrong. In 2023, I finally decided to get the entire collection. I'm a very slow reader, and at that point I couldn't really finish a book at all, but I was determined since I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and seeing people on the internet talk about the events from the book, I started to feel like I might be missing out on some pretty interesting details and storylines. Not only did I get to know more characters, I also got to know their backstories and personal lives that the movie just didn't show. (I guess if it did, the movie would be way longer than 2 or 3 hours.)
The first book had a magical feeling to it from start to finish. I was surprised by the amazing character development of children and how different some characters are. I especially enjoyed every single detail about the Weasley family, so that was a joy to read about.
It took me about a week to finish the book, but it made me realize how much I actually love the world and stories inside this book.
