Books that I got for Christmas (and loved) when I was 12 to my late teens
One year, all I wanted for Christmas was books and my aunt and uncle got me this set and I was SO excited that I finished them super quick. Note that these aren't traditional books. They are screenplays from the first two films!

I was always that one kid that asked for spooky stuff, even for Christmas, and this book set was on my list one year and I'm so glad too. I loved reading these over and over!

If there is one thing I was certain of as a kid, it was that I was going to Hogwarts. That may not of happened (yet?) BUT I still appreciated these as a gift. I could reread these all year.
