Reviews from the heart.
Hello, dearies! ⚡️
This is just an excuse for me to talk about Harry Potter once more because yes I have a review about Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, both written and spoken.
All of that said, this was quite an experience for me. I loved how Stephen Fry read the book, and many times the episodes and hours passed in a perfect blend and harmony.
Now, there were some things that I didn’t remember and they were not in the movies, of course.

Hello, dearies!
Welcome! As some of you are interested in the show, and I will watch it eventually. I thought it was only fair to update you on the latest. The last news I had was more reluctant, giving in to the pressure on my side.
But this time, I have a calmer approach. 🤭
We have, as far as I have seen and read online, most of the cast. The Weasleys. Harry. Hermione. And I am not sure if all of the professors at Hogwarts, but at least the main ones.
We also have the Quidditch Team! Check out who is who:
Orson Matthews has joined the cast as the spirited and passionate Gryffindor Quidditch team captain, Oliver Wood. He is joined by talented team members, Asha Soetan as the incredible Angelina Johnson, Eire Farrell as the amazing Katie Bell, and Serrana Su-Ling Bliss as the delightful Alicia Spinnet, making for an exciting and dynamic lineup!
I hope that Alicia Spinnet and Katie Bell get more camera time, we knew them well in the books, along with Angelina.

Hello, dearies! 🎮
Do you like Hogwarts? 😆
I do have to ask sometimes, some may not be as Potterheads as the rest of us.
If you have been to my YouTube then you might have watched already my new videos of my life in Hogwarts… Legacy the game. Lol. Sorry, yeah it’s not like I visited the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I wish. No, I’ve been playing Hogwarts Legacy and I have a couple of new videos on my Channel if you want to check them out.

Hello, dearies! 📆
Welcome to a new segment? Special? Section? Category? Anyway, welcome to this new special, I’ll go with special. Spoiler Time Sunday, as the name indicates this will be about spoiler. 😎
Now, if you have read some of my book reviews you might know that I don’t like spoilers, giving them or receiving them, but sometimes I get questions or people come to the blog because they want spoilers, so I decided to oblige the masses and talk occasionally about a specific thing in a book, manga, or anime (movies and shows?) that would be considered a big plot twist, a change, something that cannot be viewed as anything but spoiler in my eyes. 😄

Hello, dearies! 🪄
We have arrived at this one at last, it was a long road while I talked about each book. All reviews here.
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, I remember being so excited because the final book would come soon, and I had re-read The Half-Blood Prince a couple of times already because it was so good, not the end but that just made you want to read the next book more.

This is going to be interesting, I’ll try to keep the movie and the book separated.

Hello, dearies! 🙂
Hope is shiny where you are or not really cold as it gets here.
This one was the natural next step because we already have a review (sort of) about The Philosopher’s Stone, The Chamber of Secrets and The Prisoner of Azkaban, so The Goblet of Fire deserves its spot, however, if this were about the movies, it would not get more than a few lines because the fourth movie didn’t live up to all the expectations it should have.
When we first read The Goblet of Fire, it was that we’re-growing-up book, yes, PoA too, but this more so because Harry found a love interest, the first crush, and we met Cedric full-on, and that was the opening to the other houses, especially because now there would be a tournament with other magic schools.

Book 3 in the Harry Potter Saga
“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”
The one where everything started to make sense to me, and it got my attention to the point of moving me forward with the books, the story, everything about it. Mostly, thankful to Alfonso Cuarón for making it such a fun experience and making me watch the movie endless times, at this point in my life, I have lost count of how many times I have watched it. I had it on a VHS tape (suddenly felt old), anyway, I had it and re-watched it on my own many times, it made my teenage days better.
But, as always, this is about the book, not the movie. It goes without saying, that there are Spoilers for those that have not watched the movies, read the books, or watched the movies and didn’t read the books, or vice versa, you’ve been warned. 📖👈

Continuing our journey through the magical world of Harry Potter, now, one of my favs, The Chamber of Secrets, not my all-time favourite but pretty close. For part one of this, you can read my ramblings on HP and the Philosopher’s Stone.
The Chamber of Secrets is one of the books I appreciate being a second good book, not many manage that, sometimes the second statements are either boring or slow or plain crazy, and other times like with Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles 2) or The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings), you, just get a winner or Where She Went, none of these books has absolutely anything to do with each other, but they are all seconds and good ones, The Subtle Knife too from His Dark Materials. To the point, I know.

Book: The Philosopher’s Stone
Author: JK Rowling
Oh, wow. I know this is weird perhaps, but I wanted to dedicate a little more to each of these books, although I already have the Wizarding World page where I say just how great everything is. I decided now, to go book by book, quickly and point out once more that they’re great, though it might surprise us Potterheads that there are still people out there who have not read HP ever in their lives, so this is for you too.

This is not going to be easy. Stories from the past might blend in. Tales of old might be thrown in here. If you read it, you surely loved it, if you saw the play, you surely loved every part of it.
I cannot believe I did not write about this one before, my lack of Harry Potter reviews in the blog is by no means something you should worry about, nor something that should make you think that I do not love the books and movies because I do but the Wizarding World is simply to wide and amazing, and across all my networks, Pinterest specially, you can tell just how much it is that I love it after all this time. Let us begin.
