I
had watched the movies but never read any of the books,so i
decided to read the first one. It was an amazing book i don't
know how the author came up with all of the things that went
on in the book. It started out with a young boy who's parents
were killed in an accident or so he was told. He had no idea
that his parents were actually warlock's and witches. He had
been living with his aunt and uncle until one day a man from
the witch school named Hagrid finally came to Harry's house
and told him everything. Cherry table lamps, Told him
about his parents, and the fact that he was a wizard. From
there Harry went on to hogwarts school of witchcraft and
wizardry where he was soon to meet some of his best friends.
Ron and Hermione were some of Harry's best friends in the book
they looked after harry. Harry didn't ralize how important he
was until the very end where he defeated Voltimort and saved
the Sorcerer's stone. Overall this was a great book the way
the author set everything up i would've never been able to
imagine all the things that he came up with. But i'm not much
of a fantasy kind of person and that's why i only gave this
book a 4 star instead of a 5. I enjoyed Harry Potter for the
most part, yet I was disappointed in the title and the fact
that the sorcerer's stone did not appear until the very end of
the book.
Perhaps the stone resurfaces in the sequels cherry lamps, and
I will have to read to find out, but I was a bit anxious to
see where it fit into the story. It seemed to just pop-up with
fireworks of action (which were engaging), but getting to that
point was a bit tedious. As the first in a series, I
understand that background needed to be established. However,
it would have captured my interest before page 250 if there
had been some more background on the stone, some more
interaction with it, and some more engaging action before the
final showdown. Cherry lamps for table. |
