Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone : J.K. Rowling

So, I finished my first book of Harry Potter series: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. I have really mixed feeling about this book. I neither liked it too much nor hated it.

The plot was built nicely unfolding the magical world of Hogwarts and fascinating the reader with each turning chapter. The magical fortress of Hogwarts, the sorting ceremony, the Quidditch match everything was so enchanting; I wonder why an eleven-year-old won’t wait for his invitation letter for admission in Hogwarts. I really admire how Rowling has meticulously imagined this whole magical world. This world has its own government, railway station, bank, market, and school.  The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where the central part of the story is weaved, has been imagined with its own rules, house system, classes, boring subjects, assignments, and exams all very similar to our normal world yet so different that every kid wishes to be enrolled there.
