“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 is the beginning of a wonderful series. The characters grow up in each book. The reading level also gets more difficult and longer as the series progresses.
I love this series. They are well written!
Can’t wait to read the rest and learn more about Harry and the gang. New fan for sure.
Absolutely loved this book. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Loved the entire series. Have read the entire series unlimited times.
This book is a little slow, but it definitely picks up at the end, and so much of the rest of the series springs off of what we learn here.
The wonderful book that launched an empire.
Well written, easy to read series that just gripped me and didn’t let go.
