By the Book: Children's Book Club - Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone

As Children's Day in Malaysia is traditionally celebrated every last Saturday of October, we're celebrating children's literature this entire month, by doing a Book Club with a different child every week. In this episode, we're joined by 10-year-old Lana Sofia Pointon, who suggested we talk about the book that started a phenomenon: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling. Lana (who hasn't read the rest of the series!) talks to us about the magic and adventure in the story, and who her favourite characters are, as well as why she's looking forward to more from the Wizarding World.
