I recently saw the illustrated edition of this book at the library and got so excited to finally have an excuse to reread this book. I first read this when I was 11 (and, funny enough, didn't like it much at first and it initially took me 3 tries to finally read it all the way through and then love it) and Harry Potter made up a big chunk of my childhood. I hadn't reread the series in years but with the promise of the illustrated editions I will definitely be rereading these gorgeous book. The illustrations are so stunning- full page colorful illustrations- I almost wish I had had this edition when I was first diving into the series. It was lovely to relive the exciting first year at Hogwarts and I'm looking forward to rereading these books over and over again.
