First time I’m reading it in English and Russian translation didn’t do it justice at all。 The writing is so much better in original (or so much worse in translation?) I have to re-read them all now! Cannot recommend enough MinaLima edition for a hardcopy to have at home!
Jules,
I enjoyed reading this book。 It felt like I was really there。
Tom Moons,
Het welbekende verhaal, maar deze keer met de illustraties van Minalima。 Een wondermooie versie met de nodige tekeningen, uitvouwbare onderdelen。。。 Die net dat tikkeltje extra magie weten te leveren。
Caroline Morris,
I’m hooked。 Thought it was too late for Harry Potter but I was wrong

The most beautiful book I possess! The Minlima illustrations are a joy。 The cover is indented, gold and has Hogwarts on it。 Inside are three dimensional Interpretations of Diagon Alley, the Fat Lady, the castle in three parts etc。 This is a book to treasure and it makes me smile。Fascinating reading the US version。 There are a number of surprising changes。 I remeber reading the French version and being disappointed by the names (and the fact that a wand was a baguette!)I have the next book on ord The most beautiful book I possess!

quick and easy read, though, a lot of the parts were lacking。 extra points for the nostalgia-- i appreciate the world building。nonetheless, two stars in my book!
Patrick,
Read in French again
Reagan,
A great inspiring book that kicks-off an amazing world wide series that all can enjoy! I will of course be reading the rest of the series and watching the incredible films。
Samuel,
Comienzo mencionando que no he vito las películas, pues tenía en mente que eran para niños y jóvenes。 Los libros eran un asunto pendiente por cultura popular。 Saber poco de esta saga y de la escritora me ha dado la posibilidad de disfrutarlo al máximo, pues llegué sin un sólo spoiler。La historia es muy buena, bien contada (resalto el buen trabajo de redacción), bien ambientada, personajes bien desarrollados, buena trama, descripciones precisas, en fin。 Un libro bien escrito y entretenido。 Ahora Comienzo mencionando que no he vito las películas, pues tenía en mente que eran para niños y jóvenes。 Los libros eran un asunto pendiente por cultura popular。 Saber poco de esta saga y de la escritora me ha dado la posibilidad de disfrutarlo al máximo, pues llegué sin un sólo spoiler。La historia es muy buena, bien contada (resalto el buen trabajo de redacción), bien ambientada, personajes bien desarrollados, buena trama, descripciones precisas, en fin。 Un libro bien escrito y entretenido。 Ahora entiendo por qué tanto fanatismo, una lectura ampliamente recomendada。 。。。more
Lin Bias,
I’ve had this book laying around at home since 1999。 I bought it from a book fair at 9 years old because I loved the cover。 As we know HP became really popular and still I had not read it no matter how relevant it seemed。 Fast forward to 22 years later I picked it up one night while sorting my books, and couldn’t but it down。 It was an exciting read。 I wish so badly I had picked it up to read as a child。 I know I would have enjoyed it even more。 Loved it。
Emma,
This is one of my core books, and I will forever love this series even if the author is extremely problematic

Bárbara Sáez wachtendorff,
Lo leí hace unos años me gustó mucho
End,
Lo he detestado。No se el porque pero leerlo se me ha hecho una tortura, he tenido que recurrir a audiolibros para poder avanzar, y, sin duda, no seguire con la saga。

Natalie,
🎧The audiobook is so good! Things I didn’t remember happening & aren’t in the movie:-Neville gets in a fight with Crab & Goyle at the same time Ron Weasley fights Malloy during Harry’s 2nd Quidditch match。-Malfoy finds out about the baby dragon from Ron Weasley’s book he ‘borrowed’ while Ron was in the infurmirary after being bit by the dragon -Charlie Weasley’s friends pick up Norbert (Hagrid’s baby dragon) at the top of the school from Harry & Hermione
Evan Ng,
This book is legendary。 It does a great job building the plot for the rest of the series。
Ana,
digamos que no era tan malo/aburrido como pensaba :)
Watoosh,
How can you not read it and ultimately wish you were a wizard/witch and part of this wonderfully built world?
Enola Poirot,
Me encantó。 Harry Potter causó un gran impacto en mi vida。

I always loved Harry Potter as a child, and though it's been about 10 years since I read it last, it was so familiar in Spanish。 I'm glad I took the opportunity to read it in my 2nd language, going to try and conquer the series now!
