It was so nice to read this book again and the pictures were an added bonus, Jim Kay is a wonderful artist. J.K. Rowling's words are so great. Being back with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Fred and George, Hagrid, and everyon ...more

I just finished reading this book for like the tenth time, only this was the very first time that I read it in english and it was everything that I remembered and more.
Rowling, you beautiful creature, it still impresses me how you could connect everything so perfectly from the first book to the last.
