I got hooked by Harry Potter magic the second time round. My first read was about a decade ago, and I felt it was a mediocre book. (I dont know how I came to the conclusion, but that's what I remember about my impression that time).

Jan. 2020 - Some of the magic presented is so beautiful, especially Lily’s sacrifice, endowing Harry with the gift of her love that protects him forever. It’s really, very beautiful, magic.

2019 March- Read this again. Filled my soul with happiness just as much as it did the first time. Never gets old.
