J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone Review

Have just started to read Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone for the first time (yes ten years after it was first realized) having tried to engage with Harry Potter and friends numerous times over the years with the release of the other books and films in series i just didn't get all the hype.

However i sat down to have another go after having watched the 4th and the 5th film and a friend who is reading the 7th book religiously like mad recommending them to me none stop I thought it was time to give it another go.

And I sat down and started to read it last night and I'm about half way through it. For some reason sitting down reading it this time something just gripped me with it. I can now see why it captured so many peoples imagination. It goes into so much detail and its amazing that someone could have that all set out in their imagination.

Its truly gripping so far and i read seven chapters without hesitation, so I'm feeling rather lucky at the moment that everyone else has finished the whole series and I've got the whole series of books to look forward to!

Cant wait to read the rest!
