Well... this is surprising.

My whole life, I've never been interested in Harry Potter. Usually when something is very popular, I automatically don't want to like it. I don't know why, I've always felt like that about popular stuff. But besides that, I also was never really interested in the story.

At some point I got a best friend obsessed with Harry Potter. She convinced me to watch the first two movies. I still didn't really care about.

A few months ago, the Harry Potter movies were on tv every week. I decided to give it another chance, not because I was interested, but because of 'the experience '. I wanted to understand what people were talking about when they were discussing Harry Potter. I kind of enjoyed the last few movies, but still wouldn't call myself a fan.

I've been told many times that the books are better than the movies. This is usually the case with any books made into movies and/or shows. So I agreed to read them. I read the first one, and it was so obvious to me that it's a middle grade novel. The way it was written bothered me. I think I gave it two stars?

Now. Here we are.

I got a free subscription to an audiobook and ebook app, and suddenly I got the thought 'maybe I could try it as an audiobook'

Now, I don't know if it was the fact that I listened to an audiobook voiced amazingly, or that the book was just written better, but I liked it! I enjoyed every part of it and looked forward to listening to it every night. I even turned it on while making my homework (though I'm not good at doing multiple things at a time. I forgot some parts of the story)

I never thought I would do this. But here I am, giving 5 stars to a Harry Potter book. I think I'll continue listening to the audiobooks, maybe this is how I can enjoy the series as much as others do.
