Book Reviews | Harry Potter and the Philosopher鈥檚 Stone, by J.K. Rowling
The Boy Who Survived and Became an International Sensation
Have you heard about Harry Potter?
If you haven鈥檛 lived under a rock for the past twenty years, chances are you at least know who Harry Potter is. And perhaps you even read the books or watched the movies.
It鈥檚 pretty hard to write a review of something so well-known. But let me indulge myself and try it anyway.

But first: a disclaimer. I absolutely don鈥檛 condone Rowling鈥檚 transphobia (you can read more about it here). However, I won鈥檛 discuss it in this review. I respect you if you鈥檝e decided to boycott Harry Potter and everything else Rowling has written because of her transphobic behaviour.
Although I despise her attitudes and comments on the subject, I decided to continue to enjoy Harry Potter and the wizarding world, which has been a huge part of my life growing up. If you want to discuss this further, I welcome your comments on the subject, as long as you keep them respectful.
