“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!

its a great book and its way better than the movies
is cool i love it
Great series.
This was my first time reading Harry Potter. I tried a few years ago to read it but stopped after only a few pages I just couldn’t seem to get into it. I had heard all the hype about it but just wasn’t sure it was for me. But then I guess it was last year I had the opportunity to see all the movies online through one of the TV channels, I think it …
THE WHOLE FRIGGIN SERIES IS FANTASTIC! (from a committed hufflepuff/ravenclaw)
I absolutely love this bool. I used to absolutely hate reading. But then I read the Potter series. I haven’t stopped there. Guys READ THIS BOOK!! its so amazing and the story is so very interesting. At least read the first book then watch the movies. That’s all I’m asking…
I have never been into scifi or fantasy books, and have never liked wizards so this is a series I never had a desire to read. I figured this was the year to push myself out of the comfort zone and I am attempting to read them all. I thought it was good. Not great but not bad. For a lover of the genre, I can see how they would adore it. Like most …
Harry Potter is a very original story, and I like that about the series. Also, it includes much description and is a wonderful thriller for young children, usually recommended to be from the age of seven to the age of fourteen. It might be a bit hard to understand, with all of the characters, but it is a great book and I recommend you to read it!
This book is the first Harry Potter book and it EXPLODES with magic!!! If you prefer magical books, this series is the book for you!!!
Harry Potter os the book I can read with non stop

I can’t believe it’s been 23 years since this book came out. I know a lot of people read it including my son, but I wasn’t interested. It took a reading funk for me to have a look and no, I’ve not watched the movies. I can see why this series has captured the imagination of children and adults alike, perhaps given them the love of reading. It’s a …
Have read 5 times can’t stop reading
If you are a book lover don’t forget to read Harry Potter
Everyone knows this book and its impact on society?
Such an original story with great characters.
Only have read the series about 20 times. Comfort food for the mind. And a lot of fun.
Wonderful book I have ever read, best book , it is the very first book I started reading reading and got addicted to reading, it has a very special place in my heart and will always be there, I recommend this book because it has given me an escape from the Harsh reality I was living in, I love it and u should read them too

This is really a review of the whole series. At about the time the fourth book was published, I wanted to find out about these long books that children were taking the time to read. I read the first one and was completely sucked in by the second page. Great series. I love the way it gets more complex–and darker–as the kid grows up.
Harry Potter is an amazing book and while I have only read the first, I look forward to reading the others. I was never a Potter fan until my local book club read it and now I have a favorite spell and I learned that I am a true-born Slytherin. As I said, I cannot wait to continue this series. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone!
