After a really long time, I decided to add HP to my list: books that I will read again. I have to thank bookstgram for that. I saw and currently seeing every possibile type of pics that is related to HP. 
 I read the firs book and all the rest of the series when I was young - I'm stille young but I was a children at the time - just like the majority of first/old school of HP's readers. But I wasn't fascinated... 
 And even now I didn't change my mind. So it's time to write an unpopular opinion. And I'm kinda scared of the possible reaction of potterheads but the bookish world must be full of opinions and opened to them, right? 
 For me, this was a cute read but nothing more. For most of the time - maybe beacuse I already know hat was going to happen? - I was simply bored, hurring towards the end because I felt the need of leaving HP behind me for others and more interesting reads, but also beacuse it was such a light book that I couldn't understand why I got stucked for such long time between is pages. In the end I was following the protagonists and the plot, but the big part of my attention was driven to find the difference and the similiraties between the film and the book, which was quite funny actually but not really entertaing. 
 The mix of this kind, poor, little boys that Harry Potter is and the dark shadow of Lord Voldermot... they just didn't work, like the two parts coouldn't really fit toghter. It was a really strange sensation. 
 Also, the songs killed me. I was embarassed while reading them, thinking of all the great wizards and witches, that can literally kill you in a blink, singing that kind of song. Hogwarts loose all its seriousness for me and I couldn't help it. 
 Without a doubt, Rowling was able to took some anciente fantasy element - wizards and withces - and found a new category for them, with a whole new world that it's the only part that I really love about HP, generally talking. I will always be in love with that kind of magic but not with the more childish parts. 
 She also menaged to create three character that are really well defined and that work toghter really well but maybe HP's first book it's too little for me. And don't come here trying to preach me: you have lost your hinner child and magic. 
 Also, there are things and facts that I find to be strange. 
 Some facts just existed only because Harry is the one who survived, but also a little kind boy who is abused. For example, why people at school didn't notice how bad Harry's condition was? He was more thin than an usuale boy o his age and also he always wear second hand and really ruined outfit, when his cousing is well. 
 Also, it's strange that his adopted family, even is afraid of him or hate him, or maybe both, just don't get rid of him at an orphange or at an hospital. Instead, they dragged him along with them. 
 And why the wizards and the witches, that stay hidden from the muggles and at the same time have to and must to blend with them - always in order to stay hidden and secret - don't know a thing about muggles? This isn't possible. If you have to hide inside them you also have to know how to blend. 
 So, in the end I didn't find this books illuminating as I was excpeting. It's still a fun read but it will never be one of my favorite book or the series of the novel of my life.
