I was so excited to flip open my first Harry Potter novel, and from the first word to the very last, I was not left disappointed. Each page of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is filled with magic, curiosity and adventure.
Reading this book as an adult for the first time, I was concerned about whether the writing would be too simple or if the novel would read too child-like. But I did not find that issue at all, instead the mystical plot was written in a manner in which any age could enjoy.
I was drawn into the storyline from the very first page and eagerly read through each chapter so I could find out what happened next. Excitement overtook me to learn about the boy in the cupboard under stairs, the wizards, the giant, a secret train platform, an evil professor and a game played on broomsticks. I couldn't put this book down until I got to the end, reading it during any breaks or spare time that I had.
I met the infamous characters, Harry Potter, Hermoine Granger and Ron Weasley, learned about He Who Shall Not be Named, Snape and Dumbledore whilst growing a soft spot for Hagrid. Each character is so well created and relateable to all readers of any age.
As someone who enjoys mystery and adventure novels, this whimsical novel (and series) is right up my alley. Intensely layered with hardship and victory, turmoil and happiness; every word contributes to the feeling of excitement, curiosity and magic.
I purchased a special Minalima edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which has beautiful illustrations and pop-up interactive features throughout the book. It helped me to immerse myself into the story, the plot and the characters.
I'll link it below, if you want to purchase yourself a copy.
There was not a boring moment throughout my read and why would there be when its full of magical, mystical and fun? I fell in love and went out and purchased the entire series so I could continue reading it.
I am looking forward to cracking open The Chamber of Secrets and see what else the Wizarding World has to discover.
Completed on: 11th May 2021
