Yeah my son was given a copy for Christmas and reading it for the second time ever I have to agree it’s well written. Lots of little details that are simultaneously fun and world/character building.
Eg: Hagrid giving Dudley a pig tail and then grumbling that he’d tried to turn him into a pig, but it turns out he’s already so piglike he’s only missing a tail. It is funny (for a 7 year old), it builds Dudley’s character and also foreshadows Hagrid’s iffy relationship with magic.
