Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

This book is about a boy named Harry Potter. He lives in his cousin’s house, the Dursleys. They are nothing like the Potters. They are Muggles. Muggles are people that do not have any wizard or witch blood in them. Harry was brought to the Dursleys by Professor Dumbledore, Hagrid and Professor Mcgonagall. He was just a baby when that happened, going to Dursley’s and almost being killed after his parents. After the attack from Voldemort, he got a lightning scar. When unexpected letters come to the doorstep of the Dursley’s addressed to Harry, Uncle Vernon gets angry. Wherever they went, the letters would know they were there. Then one day, Uncle Vernon finds a hut which he thought no-one would know they are there but he was mistaken. A huge giant knocks on the hut’s door. The giant was Hagrid. When Hagrid goes inside the hut, he gives Harry the letter that Uncle Vernon would not allow him to read. Harry read it and found out the truth. Hagrid told him that his parents were killed not by a car accident but by Voldemort. Harry then goes to Platform 9 ¾ which is the passageway to Hogwarts. In Hogwarts he learns to play Quidditch, receives the invisible cloak and makes friends with Ron Weasley on the Hogwarts Express. He makes friends with Hermione Granger after he saves her life from a troll.

I recommend this book to children ages 10 and above. I also recommend this book to children that like to read about magic and fictional characters. Children that love to read books that are continued in different books will love this book and all the rest of it’s series!
