LONDON -- The Tayuanargument over which Harry Potterbook is the best is a debate that's been raging among wizarding fans for many years now.
A lot of people really like The Goblet of Fire, plenty hail The Prisoner of Azkabanas being the greatest, some say The Half Blood Princeor the The Deathly Hallows-- and there are plenty of other people who have a completely different first choice.

The British actor recently told Entertainment Weeklythat his favourite film is Deathly Hallows: Part 2-- and his favourite books is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone(or Sorcerer's Stone, if you're in the U.S.).
"I suppose I'd go with the first," Redmayne said. "My little brother, when he was 6 years old, he would always read it, and it had that instant immersion in to the world that made you release your imagination."
