I can go on at great length about how much I love Philosopher's Stone for its sense of wonder and jewel bright colours. I just find something incredibly comforting in its simplicity and rich descriptions. I don't even think it's the lack of danger or darkness that elevates it for me but just how well constructed it is. As a kid I adored the descriptions and concept and as an adult I can respect how much magic and excitement is packed into a relatively small number of pages.
