I was tagged by Margaret @ Weird Zeal to participate in this very special event! Every day for the next week, I will be posting a Harry Potter related post to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in the UK! Today is Day 2 – Ranking the Books and Movies! Here is what Margaret had to say:

I will be posting something Harry Potter related on the seven days leading up to June 26th, and I’m inviting you to join me!

5 Books That Made Me A Reader
