“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 keep picking it up and reading it again. When I need something comforting, something to take me away and let my mind rest, this is always one of my favorite reads.
The Harry Potter Series is my favorite book series of all times. I have probably read all 7 books a total of 10 times and always find something new in the pages.
This is a book about a young boy named Harry. On his 11th birthday, he gets a letter saying he has been accepted to Hogwarts. He goes to the magic school and meets life-long friends. He tries to solve the mystery going on at Hogwarts, survive the year, and complete his classes all at the same time. This book is addictive and will make you read the …
I grew up reading Harry Potter and these books continue to inspire me!
I read Harry Potter for the first time as an adult.A truly magical story.
Read it. Skip the movie and read the book. Seriously. The world building is top notch! Everything in this novel kicks off the series and will become important later on.
Unless you have lived under a rock, or have just come of reading age, the beginning book of the Harry Potter saga is a must read. The movies have taken away from the books, but this book sets the foundation that has thrilled a generation of fans. GO READ IT NOW!
Magical! They just get better and better.
Thumbs up! I am so grateful to be halfway through the whole series. Dreading any spoilers, I do not discuss any of the stories at all! Aiming to complete by end of year! Wish me luck!!!
I’m a Harry Potter fan.
Wizards are everywhere
The best book for all ages to come out in a long time.
One of my favorites
The first of the 7 book Harry Potter series. Rowling introduces us to the muggle raised Harry Potter and tells the story of his first year at Hogwarts. Harry is a complex and sympathetic character. His friends and enemies are interesting with motives of their own. The world-building is spectacular. If you haven’t read it, you should.
I loved the whole series. These books pulled you in and sparked my imagination.
Harry saved my job. He put ooks back in the hands of kids.
Read all Harry Potter Books and loved them

HP 4 life
