Quick Thoughts
Guys. The last time I read this book was almost 20 years ago. 20 YEARS AGO. I’m officially old and sad. I have finally decided to do a proper re-read of this series after failing to stick to my goals in the past. This time, I’ll be reading this classic series in audiobook format. I mean, it was 20 years ago now, so my memory of this book has gone down the drain, but I didn’t realize how different it was from the film until now. It definitely had its similarities, but there were so many differences as well. Also, the writing style…can’t say I love it…but thinking back about reading this as an eight year old, I can definitely see the appeal. I feel like these books and their writing style grow as the books go on…kind of like our main character or like myself the reader. I’m super excited to continue on to The Chamber of Secrets once it’s available from the library! Stay tuned!

Hasn’t been 20 for me but… it’s close 😂 Definitely time to read them again. I can imagine the writing style growing with us and the characters, it will be interesting to notice that.
