Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

I was about thirty when the Harry Potter books started coming out, so I thought they were a bit beneath me. But since I have been trying to learn Latin, and there is a Latin translation, Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis, I thought it was a good opportunity to see what the fuss was about. I thought it was pretty good. I would definitely have enjoyed it as a child. I am not sure it would have replaced The Hobbit or Watership Down as my favourite book. I might have enjoyed it more than Famous Five, although I am not sure about that. To begin with, it reminded me rather of Roald Dahl, what with the horrible aunt and uncle and the badly behaved cousin.
