A cornerstone of my childhood. Despite the plot holes and controversies, this story is something that stays with me. When summer turns to autumn, I cross my fingers that an owl will swoop down with my Hogwarts acceptance letter. The letter never comes, so I settle with rewatching the movies.

    I love your personal critique 😊. The atmosphere created by this book and then by the beautiful movie is unforgettable. I like the letter delivery too, along with platform 9 3/4 at the station!
