You cant beat the nostalgia of taking the first book (the one ive had sine 6th grade) off the shelf and re-reading it. Theres something about reading it in the fall that i can quite place my finger on but its extra magical. You cant really lose love for these books after you read the first one. Ive had an awesome time buddy reading it with my friend and cant wait to read the next one. I also just wrote a college paper on why Hermione Granger was such an important character, and why we need academically smart girls is books and shows.
