Book: 18/52
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone- J K Rowling
My Rating: 5/5.
My friend introduced me to Harry Potter a decade ago when I was lame enough to think that these were for kids :). He gave me all seven in one shot and when I told him that I might not like or finish the first one, he mentioned that if I started the first and end up finishing it in the dead of then night, I will be running to his place to get the second one. And let me tell you after a decade that nothing has changed, as I decided to read them again, I picked up all seven from a friend and started with the first one a few days ago, finished (and loved) it today and will be dashing to second right after I post this one. So the story goes in the first one about a wizard kid who survived a deadly curse, ends up in the school of magic. How he survives the first year of school, makes some amazing friends (and enemies too) is covered in a terrific and thrilling way in the first one. Initially I thought it might not work the way it worked the last time when I read it for the first time, but believe me you, it kept a wide smile on my face throughout and I am super glad that I am reading it again. Now looking forward to the second one big time at the earliest but will give it a traditional one book break in between.
Also, not going to follow it up this time by watching the movie for sure. Do let me know which one is your favourite from the series if there is one that you would like to pick? Mine will always be The Half Blood Prince.
