“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!

Review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
DECEMBER 21, 2018 BY C.A. GRAY LEAVE A COMMENT(EDIT)
I’m not sure how many times I’ve read this now—three? Five? But it’s been years, and to me, Harry Potter equals Christmas. So it seemed an appropriate time to go back through them again, with fresh eyes.
When I tried to read “HP and the …
5 stars to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
This is such a hugely popular series that my review is probably not necessary, but I feel compelled to at least note how immensely important and impactful this book can be.
Forget about the need for fantastic children’s literature. Ignore the movies. Don’t even consider the amount …
I love this book and all the others written by J.K Rowling and I am such a Harry Potter Nerd or a Potterhead
If you love fiction backed books this is the one there is magic, witches, wizards, and if you have not heard of Harry Potter then you are a muggle!!!
I loved the fact she started with dialog and ended with a cliffhanger in each chapter. I believe this really enganges the reader.
This is the first book for a really long and wonderful escape to the world of wizardry. You’ll never look back; only to the next book in the series.
I think the book is so much better then the films. The actors portraying these wonderful characters did a good job portraying them. But too much was lost of the story. It’s a wonderful story.
Once you finish reading this book, you know that this is just the beginning. Harry Potter is a huge part of my childhood and I will always cherish these books with all my heart. If you haven’t read it, get your hands on a copy and read it. I know it sounds demanding, but trust me on this one.
I have a terrible secret, I had never read any Harry Potter book before. This was the first book and only book I’ve read.
And I can see why it’s as popular as it is. No matter your feeling about J.K. Rowling, she is a great author who has a way to weave an enticing tale.
I don’t think there really is much negative I can think of. The only …
All these books are modern classics. Definitely “must reads” for children and their parents! They have adventure, friendship, the battle between good and evil, and growing up. I have read ALL of the Harry Potter books multiple times. Thiese books are as magical as the magic taught at Hogwart’s. There is often the feeling of “I wish I could …
Isn’t it illegal to not rate Harry Potter excellent
The book that started “the whole thing”. I read this when it first came out, to see if it was okay for my young daughter. It was, and we shared reading the entire series as she grew up along with Harry. The characters are believable, the setting is excellently done and the action is exciting. I would highly recommend this, particularly if your …
Not actually the strongest of the books, and the author truly got better at writing in each and every volume, but it is the start, and a wonderful start it is.
Love this whole series. Once I picked it up, I couldn’t stop reading
There aren’t enough Muggle words for me to describe how much I love Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. It is a wonderful, well-written story that will be loved for generations to come. Although originally intended for a children’s audience, this book (and the whole series) unlocks something in every person who reads it regardless of …
This a good starter for the Harry Potter series. I really enjoyed meeting all the characters.
