Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)

Reader reviewed by Annie

It was a great book that had exciting adventures about Harry Hermine and Ron trying to find a special stone at Hogwarts School of Wichcraft and Wizerdrey.

No doubt you've seen the popular move Harry Potter? But have you read the books? Because if you loved the movie you'll be bewitched by the books!

Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone is an amzing book filled with giants, a hat, a mean aunt and uncle, a purple vase, a green eyed cat and a spoiled cousin's pig tail.

Now if that dose not sound like fun then you are sad! Read this book!

An intriguing first book paves the way for more adventures to come...

Mean aunt and uncle. Spoiled cousin. A kind, giant groundskeeper. A ragged Sorting Hat. An obnoxious enemy. Two loyal friends. A stinky ogre. The Forbidden Forest. Wizard's chess. Elixir of life. Ear wax-flavored jelly bean. Mix this all up into a book and welcome to the world of Harry Potter! Everyone's heard of Harry Potter, right?

Two years ago, I wouldn't have cared even a tiny bit who Harry Potter was. I didn't know what all the hype was about, but I decided to check out the movie from the library because I was bored one day. Boy, was I ever surprised. The movie mixes magic, mystery, and adventure - three must haves. Then, I decided to buy all of the Harry Potter books because the book is always better than the movie, right? Every kid can relate to Harry Potter. His aunts and uncle despise him. No one wants to be Harry's friend because they are all afraid of Harry's cousin. One day, Harry finds out that he is a wizard and has been accepted to Hogswarts. Harry then has something to look forward to in his miserable life. In his new school, he makes many great friends and some occasional enemies. Read this book and follow Harry on his adventure at Hogwarts. And while you're at it, read the rest of the series. My favorite part is when Hermione, who is usually the smart one, couldn't figure out how to save Harry and Ron from devil's snare using fire when the answer was so obvious. That was hilarious and made my day. (The specific dialogue is NOT in the movie.)

Any kid or adult will enjoy this series. I know I did.

This book is a very good fantasy. Once you start reading it, you can never put it down! The Sorcerer's Stone is when Harry Potter forst finds out he's a wizard. Uncle Vernon, a very mean person, Aunt Petunia, A skinney nosy lady, and Dudly(his name siuts him), who is a very fat kid, are his only family since his parent got killed by Lord Voldemort(A very, very, very, bad wizard) He goes to meets hagrid, a half giant, and he guides Harry through the wizard world. On the way he meets Ron, Hermionie, and Draco, who at first sight knew they were arch nemises. His least favorite teacher, Proffesoe Snape, just loves to be mean to him, and all of the gryffindor in fact. Along the way harry fights lord Voltemoert and gets the sorcerer's stone.

A good book. Rowling has created a brand new world. I've read this book seventeen times and I still enjoy it. Characters you'll love and some you'll hate come into play. My favorite is Hermione.

What an incredible book! It grabs you right from the beginning. The adventures of Harry Potter are so exciting. My favorite characters are Harry and his friend Ron. Harry reminds me of myself in some ways and Ron is always getting into trouble which is fun to read. This book is such a page turner and is full of great surprises. It also demonstrates the value of friendship and knowing yourself. I'd recommend this book to young adults. No one under the age of 11 should be reading this on their own. If parents choose to read to their children I think it would be enjoyable that way. It is a lengthly book and a younger child may have trouble reading all of it. It also has many subplots that younger children may not pick up on. The other reason I recommend this book to young adults is because it's a fun book and it brings back a sense of adventure and fantasy to young adults' minds.

I loved the book!!!Everything is COOL. I can hardly wait to read The Chamber Of Secrets.(I am 10).

Reader reviewed by Danielle Hall

I have read all three of the Harry Potter books and I have to say I can't wait for the next one to be released. They were excellent. I purchased them to read to my daughter and realized she is still to young, but then I couldn't put the book down myself. I would recommend these books for not only older children but for adults as well. Bravo to J.K. Rowling for an excellent series.

This book is alot of fun with the moving photos, ghost, trolls, and every flavored candies us muggles don't know exsite. The books are really funny, I especally like Dooby in the second book the third is not out yet but I have no doubt that it will be every bit as fun to read as the first two as no doubt will be the following books.

I loved that book and it was so exciting. My favorite character was Rebues Hagrid, because he had such a cool sounding voice and he got kicked out of Hogwarts!!
