Why?

You can say I'm kind of obsessed with the Harry Potter series. I have read the novels multiple upon multiples of times. It's funny, I was never much of a reader. I remember one time, in the seventh grade, trying to read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling, and never getting into it. I would re-read a sentence or paragraph over and over and nothing would filter in: unlike now, that when I read I have a movie playing in my head.
When I did end up reading the series again, I began on the fourth book and then later on read them in their order. The Harry Potter series are one of my favorite, if not my favorite books of all time. I guess I love these books so much because ever since I can remember I have always wanted to be a witch and have magical powers; plus the fact that its a fantasy, which is my favorite genre to read. I am so connected with the characters that I go through what they are going through. I even cried a few times in a couple of the books. I have decided to start with the first novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone or what the original title is, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It is the beginning, where it all began.
