Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Book
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, after my old copy got lost during a move.
I just couldn't not have this book in my book collection! The Harry Potter books were the reason I fell in love with reading and make-believe worlds and I have JK Rowling to thank for that.
The writer created a magical, rewarding world which will inevitably give you homey and warm feelings all over; by the end of this book, you'll want to be a wizard! The book is about a young boy, Harry Potter, and his adventures in Hogwarts (a rewarding school) after discovering he is a wizard by a very diverse, funny, warm and very big, Hagrid, the groundskeeper at Hogwarts. We're introduced to the rest of the trio, Hermione and Ron in Hogwarts. Rowling takes us through Harry's struggles at being an orphan, a newly wizard, and famous for surviving a curse by the darkest wizard of all times; it easily keeps you hooked! I loved the amazing character development we see with the trio, especially with Ron, who started out shy and awkward but slowly became braver. This book is full of mystery, adventure, and multiple plot twists and I couldn’t be happier! The Harry Potter books are a must for any fantasy, magical readers. I rate it an easy 5 star! JK Rowling wrote a masterpiece and everyone (no matter the age) will fall in love with the wizarding world.
About Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Book
A global phenomenon and cornerstone of contemporary children’s literature, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series is both universally adored and critically acclaimed. Now, experience the magic as you’ve never heard it before. The inimitable Jim Dale brings to life an entire cast of characters—from the pinched, nasal whine of Petunia Dursley to the shrill huff of the Sorting Hat to the earnest, wondrous voice of the boy wizard himself. Orphaned as an infant, young Harry Potter has been living a less-than-fortunate life. Belittled by his pompous uncle and sniveling aunt (not to mention his absolute terror of a cousin, Dudley), Harry has resigned himself to a mediocre existence in the cupboard under the stairs. But then the letters start dropping on the doormat at Number Four, Privet Drive. Addressed to “Mr. H. Potter” and stamped shut with a purple wax seal, the peculiar envelopes are swiftly confiscated by his relentlessly cruel family. But nothing stops Rubeus Hagrid, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man, from kicking down the door and bursting in with astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard—and not only a wizard, he’s an incredibly famous wizard. Hagrid spirits him away to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, setting into motion an incredible adventure (Banks run by goblins! Enchanted train platforms! Invisibility Cloaks!) that listeners won’t ever forget. Discover more books for Harry Potter! Book Review for Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone I enjoyed lots of details of the book. Mostly liked how Harry lived with his mean uncle and aunt and his cousin named Dudley but then something special happens to Harry and he finds out he is a wizard and has a mom witch and a dad wizard who died from Lord Voldemorts spell or the who must not be named. Harry goes to Hogwarts his first day and becomes best friends with Ron and Hermione. I loved learning spells in the book. The way harry thinks snap is trying to kill him but then Harry finds out professor Quirrel is teaming up with lord Voldemort. This book had great, loving quotes from Dumbledore and he taught me a lesson at the end of the book. There was a confusing little part I didn't like about the book. I didn't like how Professor Quirrel seemed not at all suspicious but then for a suprise at the end of the book it turns out to be Quirrel but in the movie it does point out how suspicious Quirrel is being but overall I loved the book and you should read it! I think people who love mysterious and magic will love reading this book. For those people who dream of being a witch or wizard like me and love to memorize spells will absolutely love this book!

I've reread this book since and of course, I loved it. The beginning can be a little slow for younger readers as a lot of it is not in the movies, but the remaining 85% is and can be completely imagined throughout. We like the fact most of the original dialogue was translated into movies which is something I've noticed since rereading as an adult. Lovely start to the fabulous series and I am buying the full set to have a newer looking set on my shelf! The artwork on the cover is so much better than the original book which is red. There are illustrations around the chapter headings too which adds a special something. The paper in this book is a lot firmer and of better quality. It's bigger in length than my original one by about 100 pages but that's probably just a printing difference. There isn't anything additional. I think there was a map in the front of mine but I 'm unsure. Read the full article
