As a child when I used to watch the news with my family I remember noticing a segment where they showed how enthusiastically thousands of teenagers used to wait in line to buy a single book from the Harry Potter series. I never understood their obsession until I read the book myself. Though I must confess that if I had bought this book when I a few years younger I would have loved it even more. It is the perfect example of a beautifully written fantasy novel with the most interesting adventures. I recommend it to all the peeps aged 16 or less as they would like the book more. I give this book a 4 out of 5.
