I've been a huge Potterhead since around my junior year of high school! While the first book in the series is very childlike and not the best of the bunch, I'm so grateful for the immersive universe and incredibly relatable and charming characters.
I used to be pretty skeptical of these books and how much everyone loves them, but my opinion of them has certainly improved re-reading them now. Rowling is really good at naming characters and lots of other background things that lesser books miss.
