“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!

I think this book is amazing and I think you should read it to
I love anything to do with Harry Potter!!!!!!!!
It is a great book. I can never put it down, It’s characters are very kind, helpful, and inspirational. Every chapter I finish I am tempted to read the next. I has a great twist which makes it even better. It is very original and the magical world is awesome! I don’t know what book could be better than this one and the rest in the series.
Nice
I love it!!
Loved reading this series with my son and than watching the movie.
i loved this book and i woud reommend it to any one .
All I can say right now is MIND BLOWING!!!!!
After reading this book you can’t wait to read the next book in the series
The best book ever. It can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Can you hear me screaming?
As expected, the illustrations brought this book to a whole new level. I legitimately want to buy another copy, solely to take it apart and frame it.
Each page is just bursting with new life. Honestly, how could you not love such beautiful images?
I think at this point, everyone and their great-great-grandmother has …
Look. Obviously everyone has either read the books or seen the movies. Why recommend it then…because you never know.
If you haven’t read the books and have only seen the movies…..read the books already. If for no other reason that to gauge the appropriate age at which you either read these to your kids or let them read them on their own.
But …
I liked it because it mixed fantasy and realistic fiction and that mix goes well together.
the rest of the series is better.
an amazing book
Love the read. Enjoyed the characters.
This book gives a lot of depth about the characters and their backstories, Rowling gave a lot of depth to each character, giving them equal importance.
the story escalates in a peaceful manner. I highly recommend this book to 10 and above as it intrigues tween minds.
It is an entertaining story in the Harry Potter world/series. Not as dark or politically correct as some of the latter novels. What can you say, it is Harry Potter! (Just wish she didn’t have to “borrow” the original storyline from someone else.)
Everyone should read this. If you don’t YOU ARE MAKING THE WORST DECISION OF YOUE LIFE!!!
It was Amazing!
I wanna read it again!
