I love seeing Jo's drawings of how she envisioned diagon alley, hagrid, mcgonagall, and dumbledore to look like, its so fascinating. I always enjoy hearing the backstory of the making of HP. JKR really has inspired generations of people to enjoy reading ~ she's amazingâ€
I bought the book today, After seeing it at the store, I was very tempted to buy it, however, somehow, I managed to put it down. I spent the next few minutes repeating the words "I don't need it" in my head. Next thing I knew, I was paying for it at the checkout.
Thatâs me when I got to buy anything đ
25 Years of Magic! In May of 1997, I graduated from college and went to work for a boarding school as their activities director. I had the pleasure of reading the first 4 Harry Potter Books during my time there. I thought of my time there as the closest I would come to feeling like I lived at Hogwarts. I even felt like Argus Filch while on nightly hall monitoring and Severus Snape on study hall duty. I miss the midnight book partly launches. It's been 25 years and the magic is alive and well! I love this magical community!
Can't believe it's only been 25 years. The impact Harry Potter has had over the years is astounding. I just got my nephew in to reading the series and he is a die hard fan now too.
I was 2 months and 1 day old when it came out! đ€Ż I can't believe I'm as old as the first book/introduction to the Wizarding World.
In another 25 years, I hope that my children are just as excited about the 50th anniversary as I am right now about the 25th! âš
I would love a copy of this 25th anniversary edition â€ïž
Thanks for sharing, Peter!
Wow 25 years, who would've thought. I worked at an international airport when the first book came out. I got one for my daughter since it's a children's book. She was not interested in it so I ended up reading it myself and loved it and still loving it after all these years! Always.
I can't believe it has been 25 years, the first book is older than me! I remember waiting at the library, to borrow the philosophers stone and reading it in less than a week. I felt immersed & warm after reading about the Wizarding World & the golden trio.
As a budding illustrator myself, harry potter book covers have always inspired me & my artworks. I landed on your videos while searching for the French book covers & now I am part of the community! Can't wait to see more of them, Peter!
WELL DONE J.K. ROWLING.. 25yrs!!
I "ALWAYS " loved Harry Potter and I'm so glad to read it the my boys now ..
Which are now also big Harry Potter fans..
Like I have stated before you đ "Snitched" đ° our heart with this channel ...
It's unbelievable isn't it? 25 years of Harry Potter! And these books are so timeless and so well written. But of course, above all, they are magical. That's the thing about books, they let you travel around magical, amazing worlds, while you are just at home, lying on the sofa. I always say: You know you have read a good book once you have finished it, and you feel a little hardbroken when you close it. I have that very strong feeling, each time I close a Harry Potter book. I still have that feeling, even though I have read each book at least 7 times now.
Harry Potter wil be there forever, it's so amazing that people around the world will be reading this for many, many years from now on. We are all different, with our own interests, but we all love Harry Potter... And we always will.
Thank you for the video Peter!
The anecdote from Thomas Taylor is very interesting! Even though Iâm a HP fan for years, I didnât know those facts about the mystery wizard at the back cover. With all the illustrated editions being made right now, I find the earlier drawings more interesting as they are the first heart of Harry Potter.
I was three years old when this book was published, and my mom read it to me not long after. Since then, Mr. Potter and his crew have been with me always.
Hey Peter,
Thanks a lot for having shared this video with the flip-through of the added content, you rock! đ And happy 25th anniversary to all the members of this incredible Community! đâš
I remember the crowds at the mall when the books first came out.i use to work at the radio shack in the Worcester Massachusetts mall,I bought the paper back when it came out later on to read to my baby (he's grown now)and I fell in love.
Perfect gift for my wife's 31st birthday. Harry potter was always an escape for her growing up in turbulent household. I didn't get into Harry Potter until way after the movies had already come out and been in syndicate on tv. It amazes me that the magic still continues to hit the way it does. It's such a great escape, Alcatraz not withstanding, from the everyday mundane. Keep up the love and excitement for all things magical!!
Iâm 49 and have been a Harry Potter fan for several years. I watch you channel all the time. You are doing a great job of showcasing Fragical boxes and books. You even inspired me to visit the New York store. By the way I got the Lego Hedwig for my collection after watching your build on the channel. I got my two children into Harry Potter when they were very young, and they love it. Great job with the channel and I hope you keep it up for a long time!
25 Years! So amazing! The books truly are amazing along with your channel Peter! Thank you for sharing!
Harry Potter has always taken a huge part in my life - thanks to my mom. When a new movie would come out, she would bring us to the movies to watch it. It wasn't until my early 20s that I started reading the books and I now listen to them every night before bed and when I drive as well. This world, as well as this commuity, truly is my safeplace and I am so thankful for it. Thank you for the great videos, they are always amazing to watch
It is amazing that after 25 years,the love for harry potter is higher than ever
I canât believe its been 25 years already ! I discovered HP after the first two books were published and remember fondly queuing at the book shop for the midnight releases when they started ( one time I even took my baby with me swaddled up because my husband was away on business lol , thats how dedicated I was to the releasesâ€ïž). I still have the bags they were given out in and some of the promotional things given away at the midnight releases here in the UK.
Its been a joy to grow up with the fantastic magical world j.k. has created. I have been a potter head from the start. And from one slytherin to another THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR THE POTTER MAGICAL WORLD AND POTTER COMMUNITY. Now I have liked, commented, and i will always keep collecting.
It's crazy how Harry Potter literally changed my life. As a small boy I used to read a lot but I kinda lost interest in books and stories as I got older and even made fun of my best friend at the time for reading Harry Potter (we were about 13 back then). But one day I found an old printing of the book at home and secretly began reading it... Now I LOVE reading in general and my biggest dream is to become a writer myself.
Canât believe itâs been 25 years!! The magic continues to live on in all of us âšâ€ïž
I was sooooo excited the morning this arrived on my door step. Such a beautiful anniversary book. All the little extras in the book were so much fun to look at and read. Great flip through Peter! Hope your doing well.
Can't believe it's been 25 years, time really flies! I did not get into the series until the 1st movie came out, but then binge-read all 4 of the then-released books in the school library during my free periods in the following weeks. Became hooked for life and attended a midnight release party for each of the remaining books in the series. Would love to have a 25th anniversary edition to commemorate this transformative era in literary history.
Don't forget the wand is listed twice on the list of equipment in Harry's acceptance letter! đ
What a truly notable and magical moment. Funny how I was just today discussing with my mother how Harry Potter was the first "real" book I ever read and it turned into such an admiration to the books: waiting for the last translations to come out, competing with classmates on who could read the collection the fastest... Needless to say, my collection looks deeply "loved" throughout the years :)
Its crazy how one idea led to an entire community coming together to celebrate something that has inspired us in many ways
25 years is crazy! Going to Universal Orlando last year and experiencing everything Harry Potter there was amazing! I watch loads of your videos in anticipation. Thanks for the awesome content, keep it up Peter!
Harry Potter has a been a big part of my life so to see the 25 anniversary of its first book is simply amazing. Whenever I have a bad day I can always pick up a book and just let myself enjoy it and forget about the day.
The first book turning 25 makes me feel so old, I was about 12 when the first book was out and read it in school as part of a class set. Iâve been in love with the HP world ever since
Wow 25 years.
I was a shy 13 year old when Harry Potter came out and it literally changed my life.
Keep collecting đđ»
It's been 25 years already, wow! This book is as old as my firstborn - I have a very early Canadian edition with the same artwork. I vividly remember buying this while I was pregnant. It still holds a special place in my heart. Harry Potter forever! Here's to the boy who lived!
The Harry Potter books helped me a lot, it helped me go through the lowest part of my life where vanishing is the only answer. It gave me the companion that I never knew I needed and I am thankful that the books found me before the dementors did.
one of the best harry potter video on youtube even I cant believe that a story book written by jk rolling will make its own universe and yaa peter I love to watch your videos
I canât believe itâs been 25 years. I came to the world of Harry Potter as an adult and have been hooked ever since. Thank you for showing us this gorgeous edition, and for all you do for the collecting community!
When the Harry Potter books came out. I had to read it before I would start my boys on them. I have multiple copies and each boy wanted their own. One year for I pre-order the book for my boys and they dressed up for it. My oldest dressed to look like Harry Potter and his younger brother dressed to look like Ron Weasley. They actually made the news with their outfits. I have continued to spread the love of Harry Potter to more children they truly are such good books. Thank you for all of your enjoyable videos.
A edition of this book would be amazing to have, 25 years is an epic number to reach with so much love and passion on it
I was working for the U.S. Postal Service 25 years ago. My co-workers knew well of my excitement of J.K.Rowlingâs genius story. When I retired, they gifted me with all of the movies available in 2016. Best gift ever. I will visit Universal Orlando for the first time this November!
Such a beautiful tribute the story that changed our lives- the book was pretty cool too! Thanks as always, Peter!
Wow 25 years⊠thatâs insaneâŠ. Im 27 and I grew up knowing nothing but Harry Potter and have ALWAYS loved it â€ïž cheers to 25 years!!! Love the video btw!
I can't believe it's been 25 years. I love Harry Potter & always will. I love reading the books &watching the film's over & over again xxxxxx
Happy anniversary to you too Peter. Can't believe its been 25 years and it just gets more and more popular. I will still be as much of a fan in another 25 years as I am today.
The new outro is so much fun and love the fact that you kept the ''wow where did he go?'' in.
I would love to have that book in my Collection
I have Harry Potter in my life only for 12-13 years, but now I canât imagine my everyday life without it. I lister the books before I go to sleep, I use Harry Potter references in every speech, I watch movies every two or three months. Itâs just everywhere!
Fantastic video as always! Thanks for taking us along, two beautiful books! đđđŒđđđŒ
This got me emotional, Peter! Thinking back to when I first discovered the magical, wizarding world as a young bibliophile. The trio were my friends, their adventures were mine too. I'd rush home after school to find out what they'd been up to, and read chapters and chapters under my blanket, long after I was supposed to 'go to bed'. Midnight book releases dressed up as Hermione, collecting every bit of merchandise I could get my hands on (WAY before the films) what a magical time âš
Finally!! book videos again đđŒđđŒđđŒđđŒđđŒ. Iâm so happy theyâre back. Thanks!
Thanks for the special video, happy anniversary âșïž
I still remember purchasing my first Harry Potter book and the excitement that ensued within me. That excitement has never gone away. Happy anniversary to the book that forever changed the world!
I can't believe it's been 25 years since Harry Potter was first released. This series has been such a large part of my life for the last 20 years. I really want a copy of this edition.
I had no idea that cover was his first book cover! It must have been surreal when it blew up for him.
Amazing to think that it is 25 years! Here's to another 25!! Thanks for all you do for the Harry Potter community.
I grew up reading harry potter. I remember how hard it was waiting for j.k. rowling to publish the new books and how you could see people camping in front of bookstores in the news to be able to get one of the first books đ. The books were always on my christmas wishlist đ„° and now, 25 years later, I still love them đ
I love when you post videos specific to the books. Since I found your channel I have started keeping an eye out for specific HP books and growing a collection. Keep up the good work!
Yeah! I was waiting for this. Thank you so much! Will be doing my own unboxing when I receive mine.
How awesome is that in 2022 we as a collectors can buy a lot of printings and versions of this book. Very cool. Harry Potter never gets old.
OMG I love how all started, the Jo's dream come true 25 years ago, I like all this 90's Harry Potter information, another age when the books contains all the magic of the wizarding world and the movies were far to be announced.
How exciting! Can't believe it's been 25 years! Neville Longbottom and I share the same birthday, so he's always been one of my favorite characters in the books!
Happy 25 years Harry Potter (and the Philosopher's Stone)!!!! Been a fan of this series since I was in high school and have never stopped being enchanted by the Harry Potter Universe! I always do enjoy the content on this channel on all things Harry Potter!!!
This series means so much to me! what an amazing 25 years it's been with the boy who lived.
I love the fact the the day before their birthday is the last day to enter!!!! Warms my heart!!! Good luck to everyone who enters!!! Peter i love watching your videos!!!
Wow! 25 years! It's still amazing what one book was able to do for the pop culture, and how it changed the lives of so many people, me included. Love your videos Peter!
Like many before me I can't believe that it has been 25 years that we've had this magical world to explore. I recall reading Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone for the first time along side my class , then getting in trouble for reading ahead. I am so glad that Harry Potter is still going strong and looking forward to see where this magical journey takes us during the next 25 years!
Whenever I see this cover illustration it's always so nostalgic! Thanks for sharing it with us all :)
I wasn't born when the first Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) was released, but my parents made sure I saw the movie years ago. From that moment I fell in love with that world. And this year, I finally decided to read the saga. And I can only say that reading the books is living an authentic magical experience... Harry Potter will form one way or another part of my life... ALWAYS
No matter how many books I read, how many fandoms I join, or how many movies I obsess over my heart always comes back to Harry Potterâ€ïž
I am reading this to my granddaughter she is 7 and so far she is loving it. I visit twice a week so she gets it read to her, when I put her to bed and itâs now become our thing she only allows us to read it together and I love being able to pass my love of Harry Potter on to her. Xxx
Wow. I canât believe itâs been 25 years already. Makes me feel so old. I still remember the word of mouth buzz that the book got back before the internet was so ubiquitous.
The years went so fast. So many years of fun and enjoyment. A beautiful book. Thanks, Peter.
Great review and video as always, I just love how you referred to yourself as a caretaker of the books rather than an owner, it just feels more magical!
Happy 25th Anniversary to you Peter with all the great content and keeping the Potter family together. Also happy Anniversary to Mamma Potter collector and the rest of the Potter collector family
WOW, 25 years...It just never gets old. Would love this as an addition to my library.
Harry's journey has been a magical part of my life, it's where i resort to get away from reality, it's my safe space and somewhere i can go to dream and just be happy. Happy anniversary, Potter fam!
Happy 25th Anniversary to the wizarding community and Thank you for creating the Potter Collector Community! I was always afraid at being judged for being childish to collect books and items from different fandoms but now as I get older I could care less!!!! I am absolutely loving my home office space I've created for myself so that I can be surrounded with the most magical things everyday. You and many other collectors have inspired me to create and grow this space to how I've always wanted it to be. Will forever be grateful for that đ
Thanks for the walkthrough of the 25th Anniversary edition. Informative and fun as always! :)
I love how you cover Harry Potter! The various sets of the books you have makes me envious đ
25 years already. Feels like yesterday when I opened HP for the first time. 25 years ago my life has changed forever.
Keep up you excellent work Peter ! And keep collecting :)
Hey Peter! Can't wait for your another vlog in the muggle world!
Can't believe it's been 25 years already! Happy anniversary to all Potterheads around the globe!
This cover is my favorite one! Iâm soooo happy they reprint it đ„č
I canât believe itâs been 25 years. Remember patiently waiting for the next book to come out? I worked at a bookstore and can not even begin to describe the massive amount of excitement I had as a bookseller seeing the kids line up to buy a book! It made my heart happy. If there is one book I could go back in time and reread for the first time again it would be this one.
This is one of those things that makes me feel both old and young at the same time. Sure the first book came out before I was born but I still grew up with them and the fact the first hast turned 25 is quite the reminder that time moves quickly.
I didn't grow up with Harry but I traveled with him. I first started reading the books in early 2001 while backpacking throught Europe. At the time there were only four books, I read all four on that trip.
Crazy that it's been 25 years! Thanks for sharing. I just recently found this channel and have been enjoying the content, especially the unboxing videos. Hippogryffs and thestrals are the best! Keep collecting.
WOW already 25 years!!!.... Peter another great video, thanks for posting it!
It really is a nice touch that they brought back the original cover/artwork for this anniversary edition, loved your video as always
I randomly picked up the first book at a school book fair in 1999 when I was 10 years old...only two years after I immigrated to the US as a non-English speaker. I was so proud that I could understand it.
I love the book videos. So thorough and well done. Your enthusiasm, as always, bleeds through.
I can't believe it has been 25 years! Thanks for this video (and all the others too!)!
I love your enthusiasm for the books.
Thanks for showing the side-by-side - had no idea about those first edition typos! (love that kind of stuff) Please keep the book content/videos coming
Thanks for all your great videos, Peter. Iâm always especially excited to watch the book vids you do! Stay well.
I didnât know the story of Thomas Taylor and for Harry Potter to be his debut story cover is so heart warming.
25 Years is crazy! I can remember Grabbing the first book up because I needed a new book to read and Now I'm introducing My Boys to Harry Potter, and my 9 year old can't wait to go to the wizarding world of Harry Potter this October. Thank you For your Channel
Lovely front and back covers. Thanks for the review.
Harry Potter is my great love since my childhood (I'm 31 right now). I can't imagine a world without these books!
Love the peek at the silver anniversary edition! I remember when my oldest son came home talking about the books he was reading for SRA (do they even have that orogram any more?) He was in a private Christian school, and there was a fair amount of uproar over reading a magic book series, so as a good mom, I got them out of the library (we were already into Prisoner, I believe). I saw immediately the redemption arc of each book and the entire series. It's an amazing series, and I've had many, many conversations about faith, love and hope with my kids through Potter. Fun fact: I was one of the first people to join The Leaky Cauldron message board and I wrote an article for them about Faith and Potter. đ
I never knew that the wizard on the back cover was inspired by Thomas Taylor's dad! How neat! Happy 25th Anniversary to the Philosopher's Stone! đ You always inspire me to Keep Collecting!
JK story and the writing of the book.. it is all just so amazing it has created an industry and all the rest, unreal really , Happy 25th!
Canât believe itâs been 25 years! I think I love Harry Potter more now then I ever have! Slowly building my collection, would love to add this one!
Such a timeless story Iâve been re listening to them to get a different perspective and see things as an adult now discovering new meanings and messages I didnât catch the first time.
