The last time I did a reread was when I bought the illustrated edition and of course, it all started with me looking at the beautiful illustrations and the next thing you know I was lost to this world. Honestly, it never gets old.\n\nRowling’s writing is marvelous from pacing to her ability to express the character’s emotions. I know there are folks who have not yet read the series (gasps). I, of course, cannot recommend them enough regardless of format. The movies are brilliant, but only scratch the surface of what the books and audios have to offer. If you love Harry Potter but have never tried audio, this is the perfect time to listen.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Excellent story and the narrator made it even better. I have avoided these books because I thought they were too young for me but I truly enjoyed this! Will definitely listen to more!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I loved listening to this book! I read the series years ago and have seen the movies, but listening brings them to life again😄 I just wish the series was included in my kindle unlimited membership. The other books are way to expensive to listen to, so this will be my only one I’m afraid. I still loved listening to Book 1!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My wife is the big fan of series.\nI finally decided to read them but felt better about the audiobook.\nI have watched movie couple of times over years and feel although the movie is well made and mostly true to book but are no match.\nBook does excellent job building excitement around new and magical things before revealing them.\nCharacters are very well defined and a lot of extra stuff in books if you are like me and have just watched movies.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Best series ever, there's one guy who does narrating he is very good."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I watched movie 🎥 but never read the book.

It’s wonderful he loves it and it keeps his attention and calms him down before bed.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Great book to listen to on long trips. I’ve also read them a few times but the voices Jim uses are all amazing and very engaging with the story.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I listened to Harry Potter book 1 & 2 and I am now listening to book 3. I have enjoyed them very much. I have read them before, years ago and I am now reliving all the fun those books were to listen to. Thank you very much.'}]
