Watching my daughter experience the magical (pun intended) world of Harry Potter for the first time is an incredible joy. Such a fantastic story, but at the same time so relatable and accessible.

And I totally forgot how packed the first part was. The Dursleys, Hagrid, Diagon Alley, Gringotts, Ollivander, Hedwig (!), Hogwarts Express, the castle, classes, Snape (miss you, Alan), Quidditch, troll, three-headed dog, the Mirror of Erised, the forbidden forest, centaurs, the unicorn. Oh, and Dumbledore and Voldemort, of course. Unbelievable.

I can’t wait to see the new adaption of the series.
