My favourite HP book...

No: HPFGUIDX 10016

Although I agree that Prisoner of Azkaban is excellent, I'd have to vote for Philosopher's Stone as my favourite Harry Potter book.  Turning the first page of that book is what brought me here and I now prize my battered paperback edition of PS above any amount of commercial merchandise.  I knew, when I'd finished reading it for the first time, that I'd experienced something very rare and that I wanted more of the same.  It's not only the nostalgia and the fact that it's beautifully told that grabs me, it's the knowledge that the author had to fight to get 500 copies published without an inkling that her books would later become a literary phenomenon.
