Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Laina

The first book in the Harry Potter series is a classic. It introduces us to Harry, the Dursleys, his friends and the world that Hogwarts is in, as well as has the first encounter with Voldermort (boo! hiss! boo!).

I received this as a gift when I was 11, and I've loved it ever since. It's one of my favourite books ever and my own copy is slightly worse for wear from many, many reads and from moving across the country with me, but it's still much loved. I'd recommend this book to anyone who hasn't read it, but I really don't think that is many people!!
