“Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter ‘H’.”
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his … confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry’s eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

This book got me interested so much that I became a big fan.
Loved the world of Harry Potter.
I’ve read and read all of the Harry Potter books since I was 11 still love them
A life changing book for a child and a great read for any adult.
Best series ever!!
Couldn’t put the book down. Story got better as you kept reading.
Perfect in every way.
My favorite book series of all time!
I have read the full series. This is the first book. The creation of the magical world. Was excellent. The story line remains inticing so it is difficult to stop reading.
Love this writer.
One of my favorite series
Wonderful all the way through
The beginning of the modern classic.
Great book as was the whole series.
Its a great story about a magical world that you wish you could visit and be part of
I think everyone knows this book, but if you haven’t picked it up, please do yourself a favor and read it! It’s beautifully written and is fun for all ages.
It’s a great introduction to the series, but I prefer the later books.
This book is highly recommended! At first I couldn’t understand why everyone was addicted to this series, but I understand now. The Sorcerer’s Stone is book number one in the series. You learn about Harry Potter and why he is famous. He does grow up with a hard life, but he learns how to make the most of it with his two best friends.
JK Rowling is one of the great author’s of our time. The Harry Potter books keep you turning the pages. Even though you know the characters and can relate to them, she keeps them fresh in every book. If you like books with magic, but do not like the dark side of magic, this would be a true joy to read.
I read every one of the Harry Potter books and loved them all! They are right up there with The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia!
