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





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

OMG! I love this book. Obviously, Harry Potter is just one of those books that everyone knows, because of the books, movies, games, Legos, costumes, Disney amusement park, etc. I love these books. I have read these literally hundreds of times. I actually did the math, and I have read about 130,000 pages of these books. I think that pretty much says what I feel about this series.

So, it starts off with the Dursley's, petty and nosy as ever, finding Harry on the doorstep. Then Harry, beaten down and mistreated, is told that he, Harry Potter, is a wizard, like his dead parents. He is then whisked off into the magical world, sent to Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry. Making close friends with red-haired, humorous Ron and brainy, Muggle-born Hermione, he finds himself deeply interested in a plot, one that consists of stealing the Sorcerer's Stone, a powerful object, that may result in the returning of Lord Voldemort. Gasp! He then faces Voldemort, the killer of his parents, once again. Saving the stone, and the day, Harry once again shows his bravery and Gryffindor heritage and saves the Wizarding world.

Sorry about the long summary. I get carried away when I speak of this book. I GET SO EXCITED!


Yep, that's me. :)
So yeah, this is a bazillion star, have-to-read-or-you-will-never-truly-know-the-meaning-of-life-book. It is one of those books that everyone needs to read sometime in his or her lifetime, or else that person is missing out BIG time. J.K. Rowling is an amazing y creative writer, with such a profoundly great way of writing. Reading this book will be one of the best choices you will ever make.

Well.....That just about summarizes the whole series.

Bye!
