Review of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Unlike most of my peers, I did not read these books as they were released. I'm fairly sure that this book was read for us at school (though I don't remember it), but other than that, I did not read it before I was 20 and plowed through the entire series. At 20, I had grown old and cynical, so I remained unconvinced after reading them.

Now, ten years later, I have grown soft and mellow. At least I enjoyed this book more this time around. This time around I did not read it in a day, but read a couple of chapters and listened to a podcast of people discussing them (shoutout to "Pottergenerasjonen). Spending more time on a text often makes it easier to appriciate it, but doing it like this also makes it easier to understand how people met these texts when they were younger.
