I read Harry Potter, at last. I have the feeling I'm taking part in a huge thing.
It's a nice one, of course! I liked the characters; the writing style is incredible; the plot is coherent (except a few things which are still a bit mysterious to me...). Some moments really made me emotional, especially the end.
I had already seen the movie, so I had the actors and actions in mind. It was not a specially good thing, because I had a lot of memories of the story, but anyway. ...more

How could I have forgotten what it was like to read the Harry Potter books? Despite the fact that there was a lot of sheer dumb luck involved in Harry's adventures & narrow escapes, it's still as flawless a read as it was the first time around :) Can't believe it took me this long to re-read the series!
26/7/19 - third time re-reading this book & it has a different meaning for me everytime! Still love it to pieces despite all its flaws ...more

|Rating| 4 stars.
This was my first time reading this book!
I know, I know...when I started to read Harry Potter I began on book 4 and till now never had picked up the first three books.
I really enjoyed, I mean it's Harry Potter so...liked to see how some things are diferent from the movie. I thought it was fast paced and a light read compared to the later books. Can't wait to pick up the 2nd and 3rd and re-read the last three.
|PLUS| Everything.
|MINUS| Too fast paced. ...more
