I read this aloud to Kevin, and it captured his attention more than anything we've read together before. It's obvious we'll be reading the whole series over the next few months.

Having read it all before, I'm impressed by how well J.K. Rowling set things up from the beginning, and I'm quite enjoying rooting for Snape this time around. Although the later books aren't quite as magical as the first one, Harry Potter is great fun.
