I never read the Harry Potter books as a kid but I was a fan of the movies, starting to read the series now has been very nostalgic and I can't wait to read the rest of the books.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone does an amazing job at transporting you into another world and it was so great to dig into the fantasy genre.
