Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, by J.K. Rowling



10-18

Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a Cloak of Invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny cupboard under the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in ten years.

But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to a wonderful place he never dreamed existed. There he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic around every corner, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.


Harry's parents are dead. He is the 'slave' of his uncle Vernon, aunt Petunia, and bratty cousin Dudley. And he's about to go to a horrible school. ( In gray rags. ) But then he goes to a academy for wizards called Hogwarts. He takes delightful classes like charms. And-not-so-great-ones like potions. But all too soon he discovers a threat to his life: Someone's trying to steal the legendary sorcerer's stone! And with a powerful thing like that who knows what he might do next? This book is one of my favorites along with Percy Jackson and The Olympians and A Series of Unfortunate Events.

I like Ron because he's funny. I also think Hermione is smart. But which one? Pick a person any person...

My favorite part is when they go after the 'bad guy.' ( The part with Fluffy and the potions. Boy I would've never figured that one out.) I read it over and over again. You might too.

Each book is darker than the last so after The Prisoner of Askaban you might want to wait a while.
