Obligatory disclaimer: the author is a terrible person with terrible views.

I’ve read this book several dozen times at a minimum, and it truly never lets me down. Reading it as an adult, the nostalgia apparently makes me cry a lot! Who knew! So glad that Hogwarts is always here to welcome me home.

I did not care for the child neglect and abuse at the beginning of the book. The cousins are meant to be unlikeable, but it is infuriating the level of neglect and emotional abuse that the main character goes through.

  • a classic 
  • I’ve only read the first book so far (this is my second time reading this) 
  • so that’s why I’m rating it a 4.75 because I’ve a favourite HP film so I’m waiting for that book to give a 5
  • I would recommend
