Now, I wished that I had been a fan all along and didn't wait this long to read this book! I loved how it transported me into the world of Hogwarts and there wasn't a minute where I didn't want to know what happened next. Rowling knows how to write a good story filled with friendship, adventure and intrigue. There were times that I would be listening to this in my free mornings and I didn't realise how fast the time went. This book made me happy and even when I didn't listen to it for a little b

Now I can say that I've finally read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I don't know why I waited so long to read it, but I'm so glad that I finally did.

This was a reread and I loved it even more reading it after having read the entire series...even though I gave it 5 stars the first time. I feel that I picked up on different things, some that are more obvious knowing the whole story, and that is always so fun when rereading.
Re-read on 9/25 for Banned books week
Currently reading this with Solanna...
