I mean, it's Harry Potter. Enough said. The journey starts here. You can tell this first book was written with a child audience in mind, with the fun, random events, things, and experiences that are given attention and mention as ways to make the wizarding world real (vs move the plot along). A true masterpiece in world building, and world experiencing. Anyone re-reading will delight in finding cleverly woven clues and hints at future events (even ones that happen in future books), a nod to the forethought that went into planning the full story of Harry Potter.
