there are a couple of things that i want to make clear before writing this review.
First of all , i'm one of those people who didn't get the chance to read Harry Potter as a kid, and feel the joy in growing up with Harry, i didn't get the chance to be excited for the books and movie releases because as i said , Harry Potter wasn't introduced to me when i was a kid.
The second thing is , i became a PotterHead immediately after watching the last movie , which means am reading a book that am in love with it's story, even before reading it .
The last thing is , Harry Potter is one of the most famous book series of all time , everybody loves it and everybody considers it their favorite series of all time , which makes our minds automatically love it , or expect to love it.
These three things makes it really difficult for me to rate and review this book but i'm gonna try and express my feeling towards it anyway :D !
The story :Harry Potter , the boy who lived , the main concept of this series is this : there's a little boy named Harry , who was born to a wizard and a witch , one night the greatest evil wizard comes and kills Harry's parents , tries to kill Harry but fails and leaves him with only a scar on his forehead .Harry then sent to his Aunt's house to live with her and her family until Harry reach a certain age and be able to go to Hogwarts , the greatest school of Magic !.so let's think , if i read this story before all the hype , would i like it ? well the answer is probably yes . just think of how interesting it would be to go to a MAGIC SCHOOL ! and study there to be a wizard ! . think of why that great wizard couldn't kill Harry , what will Harry learn in that Magic school , all these things make it obvious that i'll probably be liking this story even if i didn't watch the movies before.The Writing : J.K Rowling knows how to tell a story , that's a fact . her writing is just smooth and beautiful , it made you wanna read more and more and never put the book down . although Harry Potter is supposed to be a children's book (Kinda) , you don't get that (Am old for this) feeling , i mean i'm 23 and i couldn't put this book down !Favorite things about This Book :* Harry's personality is just perfect , he's the perfect kid , the sweetest , kindest , he has a good heart , and he has Manners ! . the best thing about this , is this feeling i got about Harry's personality ,see , he's a good person , not because he didn't grew up with his parents , i think Harry is the kind of kid who would never be one of those spoiled kids who demands everything and stuff , he would be a really good and kind kid , even if his parents spoiled him as their first child.* Another favorite thing is the part when Hagrid comes to tell Harry about him being a wizard and stuff , now that part made me really laugh and cry at the same time , it was GOLD .* Another thing , i cannot believe the imagination thatJ.K Rowling has , all these imaginary things that you just wish they were real because she made them sound so real ! , all the magical things i want : I Want to look into The mirror of ErisedI Want to go to Hogwards , study magic , and after i graduate , i want to study Dragons !I Want to have a Dragon !I Want to have Books about Magic , real books.I Want to have a Wand.I'm really despressed that i read this after watching the movies not before , Aughhhh i wish i could turn back the time to read this without knowing anything .!! but i think i liked this book despite the fact that i know how it all ends , because i'm sooooo excited to get my hands on the second book ! like i need it immediately . yup that's how much i loved this book.
