Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone

The review below was based on my first read of the Harry Potter books, ages ago and in Dutch. Updated reviews will follow after a reread (in English) I plan to do.

I took me years to start reading Harry Potter. I think the main reason was my parents didn’t like fantasy, and I used to think this would mean I wouldn’t like it either.

I’m glad I tried Harry Potter anyway. For me, like I said, it’s not covered in sauce of youth memories. And as a book I liked it, but didn’t think it was that great. I liked the world JK Rowling created but saw that it was far from flawless.

Sometimes it feels like you like everything around it better than the original book. It is quite hard to describe…
