הארי פוטר ואבן החכמים

So, this is an obvious re-read. No matter my own personal opinions of the author, this series was a huge part of my childhood and growing up, and as an adult it is still such a huge part of my life. I have always enjoyed reading the books and feel like you can take things in more, the older you are and the more times you read.

11/2024 **REREAD (w/my daughter for her first time!)

There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it’s haunting Harry Pottter’s dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?

Harry has a lot on his mind for this, his fifth year at Hogwarts: a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey; a big surprise on the Gryffindor Quidditch team; and the looming terror of the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams. But all these things pale next to the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named - a threat that neither the magical government nor the authorities at Hogwarts can stop.

As the grasp of darkness tightens, Harry must discover the true depth and strength of his friends, the importance of boundless loyalty, and the shocking price of unbearable sacrifice.

His fate depends on them all.
