All I know is that these books came into my life and lit up my soul in a way that I never knew was possible. Years and years later, I still re-read them and sink into that world and I just feel so alive. Hogwarts is my childhood, it is my shelter, it is my home... and it is so much more. Originally published as a companion book to the Harry Potter series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander (a fictional character in the wizarding world) is a comprehensive guide to magical creatures. The book explores the origins and characteristics of various creatures, accompanied by witty commentary from Scamander. It provides fans with a deeper understanding of the magical fauna that inhabits the wizarding world. Harry Potter and his friends is a series so special to me. J.K. Rowling created a whole new magical world, very detailed and ingenious, which kept going for seven books with the same quality. It's time for a disclaimer. It's 2020, and many Harry Potter fans are disappointed with Ms. Rowling, so much so that they're starting to resent the books themselves.

first read; I was 9. I remember every details from what I wore & who gave it to me as my late bday present (I owe her!) to which parts I read fast. I was in the generation who looked forward every HP books & movies to come. & in the gaps, I re-read them. XD some of my Favourite chapters are; the Flaw in the Plan (7), Beyond the Veil (5), the Only One who Ever Feared (5), Flesh, Blood & Bone (4), Priori Incantatem (4), the forest again (7), Heir of Slytherin (2), Dumbledore's army (5), O.W.L.s (5), Dudley Demented (5), Detention with Dolores (5), Snape's Worst Memory (5), Kreacher's tale (7), every Quidditch related chapter & many more! I miss them very often; the characters, Hogwarts, magic, the excitement, the fun & the admiration of how Perfect this world is & how magnificent it is written. the Nostalgic feeling it gives me. I just feel like to re-read them once in a while, & I still can't read from the middle, I just want to experience it all over again, since the beginning, again going through all those character developments & events I perfectly know would happen.

Games

there's no shame in loving all-potterhead's least favourite book, because it made the best times for me; the most excitements & feelz. I am proud :) Anyways. So it seemed incredible and wrong that I only had a rating, and no review for these books, not when they're so important to me. I am an avid reader and years ago, when the Harry Potter books first came to the U.S. and caused such a sensation, I resisted reading them. I'm not a big fan of fantasy lit, so I thought that reading about wizards and such was not for me. It was as a mother of two cranky children that I ended up trying the books, and I am SO glad that I did not end up missing out on this brilliant and wonderful series. A Whole New World of magic with wands, school setting, ghosts, potions, charms, Fantastic Beasts & Plants, secrets & everything a world/society need!:

Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken). many other characters each thought me an aspect of life, an aspect of being a better self, a better human. I love how this series is at first more middle grade, then slowly turned into YA when the characters are older & the world is darker.

Rowling prose is agile, fluent, easy to read yet beautiful and detailed enough. I've never read any other author who can balance both aspects so well without finishing with a bunch of flat characters and a too foreseeable plot. The history becomes darker and more dramatic with each book. Harry Potter would have not appealed to me so much to if there were seven Philosopher's Stone-like books. The characters matured, changed; the readers also did. It's the Harry Potter generation: kids who grew up with him. The finale was superb, the contradiction between Snape (such a special character...) and Dumbledor, made the reader think a lot about good and evil. I know that many readers wanted a death, so that the story could appear more convincing, but i think that would be too "easy". Personally, i felt rather strange about Dumbledor. There will be three tasks, spaced throughout the school year, and they will test the champions in many different ways... their magical prowess - their daring - their powers of deduction - and, of course, their ability to cope with danger.' Second, let's look at the content and style. Even though Potter and Twilight are fairly different in some ways, they also have many strong similarities. Above all, they are extremely easy to read, at every level. The vocabulary is unchallenging; the sentences are short and simple; most characters are one-dimensional stereotypes; the story is uncomplicatedly plot-driven; there are few references to other works of literature. You can read these books if you're tired, if you're sleepy, if you have poor reading skills, if you've never read anything else. They consequently have a very large potential audience. Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. They married on 14 March 1965. Her mother's maternal grandfather, Dugald Campbell, was born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Her mother's paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War.

There is a plot, Harry Potter. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year.' There are so many ineteresting characters beyond the main ones, who are brilliant. Luna Lovegood, Remus Lupin, Minerva McGonagall and many others are interesting, loveable and so real in their vulnerability . Secondly,another element is that the writer has an incredible knowledge of the chlidren's and teen's nature (well, i must admit she knows how adults tend to think as well). She represents accurately the development of the characters, their mood swings, how they grow-up and become almost adults, and all these feelings like love, friendship, jealousy, the feeling of failure and abandonment, thoughts about right and wrong and all the contradictions that may arise even in the strongest friendship.My absolutely favorite thing about this series is how it comes full circle. You start the series with a fun magical tale of a nobody boy who finds out that not only is there a world with witches and wizards but that he is one of the most important people in this world. Sure it's entertaining but it's not deep. Then you get to the end when you see that same boy as an adult standing in the same spot his adventures began and you start to see the story from other points of view. The second time I read the series I couldn't just see Harry's light-hearted experiences, but Dumbledore's careful hand as he guided and prepared this boy for a mission in life that not many people could handle. To see this small sad boy and know the sacrifices he had to make, somehow prepare him without letting him know the extent of the personal hell he will have to endure, and to love him enough to teach him and somehow be able to let him go in the end--well that is not a story a child could understand. That is a story for an adult. If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals. Maybe another unfair rating. I felt the need of taking away a star just because to reflect the high levels of stress that I suffered while reading this book. Honestly, I really felt "trapped" by it. Hogwarts becomes an awful place to live. There are several really cool scenes. There are moments of wonderful amazement. And of course, you get new wonderful characters too. Luna and Tonks rule! However things became so dark and awful at Hogwarts that I really got stressed each time that I was returning to the book. You are sharing the Dark Lord's thoughts and emotions. The Headmaster thinks it inadvisable for this to continue. He wishes me to teach you how to close your mind to the Dark Lord.' The journey begins with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, where readers are introduced to Harry Potter, an ordinary boy who discovers he is a wizard on his eleventh birthday. Joining him on this extraordinary adventure are his loyal friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as they navigate the wonders and challenges of Hogwarts. Rowling's masterful storytelling transports readers into a world brimming with magical creatures, enchanted artefacts, and spellbinding encounters.

I know I am no writer that could convince everyone of how amazing the harry potter books are, in the end it still is up to the reader. But let me tell you this, give it a chance, and I promise you it'll give more than what you're expecting. By the end of those 7 books, I didn't feel like I've finished another story, it felt like a chapter of my life has also ended and that I had to say goodbye to a new-found special friend. I've experienced a whole lot more than a "book and movie hangover". I literally cried after reading the last book and watching the final movie. Yes, I was that kind of shattered. So thank goodness JK Rowling's left us with words that I hold dear in my heart and I know I would remember whenever I miss Harry Potter... I am a member of what I'll call "the Harry Potter generation" - ie, I was a kid when these books first came out, and I've literally grown up with the series. My best friend in elementary school gave me Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for my twelfth birthday, and I was hooked immediately. The seventh book came out only a couple months after I had turned eighteen. Because of this, there was never more than a year or so difference between my age and the ages of the characters I was reading about. I'm only just starting to appreciate what a special experience this was. really nothing, no books, no movies, no shows can fill this place in my heart, a place beats only for Harry Potter & resurfaced occasionally. Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'. Personally, I don't have a fixed opinion on the “separating the art from the artist” debate. Sometimes I do that and sometimes I don't. For the Harry Potter books, I think the books, the fandom, the universe, everything goes beyond the author herself, and I don't feel the need for Rowling's views to align with mine to keep loving the books. The books are what they are and the author can't add to them or take away from them anymore.Chapters name were chosen Fantastic! (I love the novels with names for their chapters) they were brilliant, funny & sometimes magical. They made you curious what would happen in the chapter & after you read chapter, you see why the chapter name was that but before, it doesn't give it away! also HP was the only series which I didn't forget the chapters name. & I can guess which chapter is in which book. (or tell them by the events happening) Another companion book, Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp (also a fictional character), delves into the history, rules, and evolution of the beloved wizarding sport of Quidditch. This book provides an immersive experience for fans, recounting famous matches, profiling notable teams, and shedding light on the development of the game over the centuries. Harry receives an invitation to a school of magic, a world of wonder, and to quote Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonker, “a world of pure imagination.” Despite his rough upbringing, nasty experience with several bullies, his awful tutelage in potions class, and living in constant fear of an evil sorcerer who wishes to murder Harry and all his friends, he actually has a brilliant time at Hogwarts. He makes wonderful friends and learns much about life along the way. By the end he understands the power of love, the true meaning of sacrifice, and the follies of judging someone on face value.
