Summary - Source: Goodreads
Harry Potter has never
played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a Cloak of
Invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry
knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and
uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny cupboard
under the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in ten years.
But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to a wonderful place he never dreamed existed. There he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic around every corner, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.

My thoughts on the book...
Yes, I know this book needs no introduction.
Yes, I know I am a 28-year-old woman.
Yes, this is the first time I have read Harry Potter.
Yes, I was a Harry Potter virgin for sooo long.
Yes, I know it's a young-adult fiction.
Yes, I know I am not young anymore. Not sure about the adult part too.
No, I am not embarrassed. Not even a bit.
Yes, I believe in this C.S. Lewis quote, "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest."
Yes, the book is worth the hype.
Yes, I would recommend it. Doesn't matter if you are 17 or 70!
Yes, I will read the remaining 6 books this year. Will try to.
Happy Reading!! :D
