I wish I was at Hogwarts

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling

October 30, 2020 by LanierHgts 2 Comments

BINGO I WISH This is another review by Lala, the 11 year old.  She is the biggest Harry Potter fan and chose this book to review for the Bingo I Wish category, because who doesn’t wish they could be at Hogwarts? My favorite book in the Harry Potter series is the 1st one, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (or Sorcerer’s Stone if you are reading the American version).  I like this book best because it is the beginning.  It sets up all of the […]

Regular school is out but Hogwarts is in

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by Jack Thorne

April 16, 2020 by Wanderlustful 1 Comment

Who knew that in times of darkness all I needed was a little Harry Potter?  I sat down on Easter Sunday and burned my way through this in the space of a few hours, feeling happier on the other side. It’s a quick but compelling read, true enough to the Harry Potter format to scratch that nostalgic itch. Firstly, it should be noted that this is a play script, not a novel, and it wasn’t written by J.K. Rowling although it did involve her (it […]

*Almost* Twenty years later and still a Potter head!

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K.Rowling

March 31, 2020 by genericwhitegirl Leave a Comment

This is the second installment of the illustrated Harry Potter books. I love reading these books with my 7-year old son. They have just enough illustrations to keep him interested from page to page, especially since this is an unabridged version of the books. There are even a few extras, like this page: Not only is it relevant to the story, but it offers a little bit of extra information for those who can’t get enough of the wizarding world. In this story, we meet […]

Aside From Some Britishisms, It’s Basically the Same

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling

December 14, 2019 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling My rating: 3 of 5 stars I heard that reading the British version of the HP series gives American readers a slightly different experience, so I decided to give it a try. It’s been at least three years since I read the first book and probably twice that since I read the later ones. What I can say is the there is definitely a much more “British” feel for the beginning of this book than I […]

“Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.”

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter, #6) by J.K. Rowling

November 19, 2019 by narfna 2 Comments

This is my second to last of these reviews. I have actually enjoyed engaging with these books on a different level. Normally when I read them, I just zoom through and enjoy. I don’t usually stop to analyze. Speaking of not stopping to notice things, look to your left. I have looked at that image for several months now and I am only now noticing that it can be either a book (like the Prince’s Potions book) OR Dumbledore shooting sparks with his wand (the […]
