I’m wondering if I am the last one on earth to start this series?! At least I won’t have to worry about spoilers!
This first Harry Potter was delightful, and though I won’t be fanatical about it like most people are, I did enjoy it quite a bit. It was a much better book than I was expecting, and I really liked the fact that I didn’t expect Professor Quirrell at all. I saw the movie a few days after reading it and I thought they got the casting of Harry, Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape just right. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
1997, 320 pp

How fun, to be reading this series for the very first time. I’m glad you were disappointed after all the hype and fanfare.
The only problem with casting is that the guy who plays Dumbledore in the first 2 movies died after that so they replaced him with some other guy who is no where near as awesome. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series… You may have made a good decision in waiting because you don’t have to wait 2 years between books!
