Of course this isn't the first time that I've read this book. After watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II I thought it might be a good idea to reread the series that defined my childhood and to be honest with you I was surprised by how much I forgot about the first book.
I remembered the parts that they put in the first movie that I had watched two days before the premiere and more times than I would like to admit on my own accords. I remember when I was in grade 3 I was so excited for that first movie to come out being a big fan of the books since my father started reading them too me two years earlier (I was a very slow reader as a child and had no patience for tasks that took longer than 30 minutes so reading Harry Potter to my mind was outside of the realm of the possible but I was more than happy to allow my father to read me and my younger brother one chapter a night (unless we could convince him to read more). I liked it because he would read in different voices which added an extra element to the story.).
Needless to say that the first book of the series is one of my favourites and will always remain so and because of this there is no other course of action than to give this lovely book ten owls out of ten. It's an excellent read for readers of all ages (I loved it when I was seven, I love it now, my father loves it when he was in his 40's and my grandmother loves it in her 70's). If you haven't read it (which I highly doubt) I would recommend going out and buying the whole series right away especially if you've seen and liked the movies because the books are ten times better.
