Harry Potter, an orphan who lived under the staircase in his aunt and uncles’ home and seemed relatively normal. Until he wasn’t. On his 11th birthday, strange letters appeared for him, telling him he was a wizard. This was probably one of the best and worst things that could’ve happened for him. This book details Harry’s journey through the wizarding world, learning magic, making friends and enemies, and finding a place he calls home. Even if you have read this before, it is a great reread to get you out of a reading slump or to bring you back to your childhood for the short period of time.

Though this is a fun read, you should consider borrowing books of J.K. Rowling’s from libraries, friends, or family members, as the author is problematic. Rowling has made many anti-trans comments online, specifically Twitter (now X), which should not be supported with the purchase of her books.
