I don't remember how many times I have read this book and it always feels as if it is the first time I read it. I can't help but give this 5 stars.. This is one of the very few things that defined my childhood. I remember my first time reading it, in Arabic. It was my very first book to read, and it is what got me into reading.. I am still reading it a decade later.. I couldn't help but smile all through reading the book.. 
 I can't really review this.. 
 One thing I don't get though is how the Philosopher's Stone was not hidden well; on the contrary, it was meant to be found.. All the charms and spells had a way to bypass them, a way that first-year students can figure out?? It sounded too easy..
