just when i thought this isn't my fave anymore.... i am wrong.

fortunately i couldn't remember much of what happened in this installation, therefore rereading this literally felt like the first time (yes, and i've watched the movie too)

i didn't mention this in philosopher's stone, but harry potter contains not just magic and fantasy within its pages. it scavenges deeper meanings from the heart. it prompts the reader to reflect and inspires tenderness. truly, it was a brilliant masterpiece from j.k. rowling.

what an enjoyable read!!! all thanks to rob inglis' excellent solo narration (and his voice cracks from time to time 😆) this took me a while all because i wanted to savor every word and detail of the adventure. i wouldn't deny that the language was a bit hard to translate, more with rob inglis' appropriate accent for each character, but it didn't lessen the quality of the book nor the presentation of this audio. if anything, it made me fall in love with this series more than i expected ❤️

so i highly recommend u listen to this book if you're like me who thought that this series was a snore ;-)
