Goodreads – Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone – J. I know I won’t do it justice, but I can only do my best! If you’re like me then you’re probably also asking yourself, how do you go about reviewing such an iconic book series? Your guess is as good as mine – I’m just going to muddle through as best I can.

In today’s blog post I’m sharing my thoughts on Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s’ Stone, the first book of the series I’m just about to finish reading for the second time!

It’s a series for just about anybody and if my reread has proven anything, is that it doesn’t matter how old you are when you pick these up.
