I always forget how short and condensed this book is compared to the others. And how it’s got a younger writing style.

This was my first time listening to the audiobook and it brought so much joy to my work days. Being back in this world feels like coming home. I had chills and tears from how comforting reading this book again was.

I honestly don't think I would have enjoyed these books if I had read them when I was a kid... that might be a hot take but oh well. I flew through the first book! To be fair, it's like a 5th grade reading level but it was sooooo good. Knowing the movies pretty well helped, I think, because I could hear dialogue in each actor's voice (especially Hagrid and Snape). Dumbledore is also already up to some shenanigans in this book...
