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

Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility.

All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley- a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years.

But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry- and anyone who reads about him- will find unforgettable.

For it's there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.

  1. I am rereading the books. Harry Potter is still one of my favorite series I have ever read and I highly suggest the books if you have not read them all ready. One of the things I really liked about the series is the amount of little details that you think are just there but are actually forshadowing important plot lines in latter books. The story is both fantasy and mystery.

  5. I do not really have a favorite character. Or at least not in the first book. I really like all of the books pretty equally. Order of the Phoenix has always been a more favorite one. Probably because I watched the movie before I read the book and that is the one movie in the entire set that I think is really different from the book.

  6. Lot's of information. I don't think you really become interested in it. I was already interested in mythology before reading it so that's another reason I really liked the book.

  7. I always thought it would be neat if J.K Rowling would write some more books about Harry. About what he did when he was older. Also the fairy tales in the seventh book, if she wrote a book on those (Babbity Rabbity and the cackling stump, The Deathly Hallows) I would read those.
