First Line Friday is a bookish tag hosted over at Abstract Books that is used to showcase your favourite first lines of books.There really is something to be said about a good first line, and I'm going to be using this tag from now on to showcase my current read's first lines.
My current read this week Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling.
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.
Goodreads synopsis
When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him that apparently he's the last to know. His parents were wizards, killed by a Dark Lord's curse when Harry was just a baby, and which he somehow survived. Leaving his unsympathetic aunt and uncle for Hogwarts, a wizarding school brimming with ghosts and enchantments, Harry stumbles upon a sinister mystery when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor. Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers which could be valuable, dangerous - or both. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

I'm sure everybody and their mother already knows the first line of the Harry Potter series, but it's my first time reading it, so I wanted to share anyway. You can add it to your Goodreads TBR here!
