I finished the whole set in less than an 10 months. I have read and reread the whole set many times since then. Now I'm reading them with my son. 😀<br />I was so excited to read your experience about the books, Soumya. J.K Rowling's imagination is superb. 😀 Will read your next posts in the series too.

I must admit the third book was initially my favourite and the movie was so disappointing {apart from getting the dementors right}, that I gave up on the movies. I only recently watched the rest of the movies on Netflix. Also, I've reviewed each of the books on my blog some years ago because it just had to be done! :D Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762987240307604682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140698802730756464.post-68662985961235527962017-08-10T17:34:14.529+05:302017-08-10T17:34:14.529+05:30Thank you Shalini, although I'm not sure if I ...Thank you Shalini, although I'm not sure if I would go back and re-read them.Soumyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439590494620390907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140698802730756464.post-15045917177311335092017-08-10T17:33:44.770+05:302017-08-10T17:33:44.770+05:30This is the only comment I got, Ramya.

I posted 3 times on your blog post and every time I did that my laptop crashed :((( and then I see, another post comment lands up on your post.. Not sure what comment you have received but ignore it please...<br /><br />Harry Potter.... yes we all are potter maniacs right? The philosophers/soceror's stone is actually the best as per me. When it came, it totally took me by storm... Somehow my enthusiasm frizzled out as I read the rest of the series... I loved the Quidditch mathches though...

My decision of not re-reading the books as I have too many books on TBR list, the third book broke that because I loved it so much I read it 3 times. <br />As for movies I felt the later ones lacked the magic which books have in them.

That's one hell of a way to celebrate your birthday! <3<br /><br />The first movie was indeed a good representation of the book. And it had to be, or else the rest of the movies would have had no viewers. And I must admit, the Tom Marvolo Riddle in the second movie did charm me a little, with his good looks and anagram-y mind :D <br />I didn't like the third movie. I personally felt that it skipped a lot of things from the book, and it seemed hasty. Though the punch that Hermione gave Malfoy will always make me laugh and be proud at that same time :P <br /><br />Awaiting the next posts in this series. It's always a joy to read and understand the thoughts of a fellow Potterhead about the series!

Not only is it about my favorite book series ever, but witnessing someone discover the joys of Harry Potter is an indescribably awesome feeling. <br /><br />And I agree with many of your thoughts on the books and movies. The characterization was pretty spot on, and while the movies did justice to most things in the books, our imagination is always much better. Hogsmeade was more wonderful in my head.
