Theresa | 15057 comments Still a wonderful read, though at least the 3rd time actually reading it (I have listened to Jim Dale read the audiobook a few times as well). This time I opted for the original British edition and frankly I don't understand why they changed the title for US audience? there were a handful of vocabulary that were changed in the text -- barely noticeable.

In fact, I was drawn to read it again after recently watching the movies that turn up on cable tv regularly these days. I just wanted to go back to the original material -- and was glad I did although the influence of the movie adaptation does affect reading it now, after all these years. The actor's have put their imprint on so many of the characters, especially. But there are so many little ridbits that are not in the movies, I'm moving on the read the rest of the series again. I think it's my first re-read since the last of the movies came out.

The world created is just so magical on the page.

It is a great book to read at this time of year as there is a very exciting Halloween at Hogwarts just over halfway through.

I look forward to your review, Patricia!
