you are looking for an exciting but scary book to read, read
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I read this book in a
week and it even has over three hundred pages! It was so
exciting that I couldn't stop reading it! First of all, Harry
lives with the Dursley's on 4 Privet Drive. One really funny
thing is when Harry lets one of the snakes out of the cage and
his cousin falls into the cage and then Harry makes the glass
come back up. Also, Hagrid gives Harry's cousin a pig tail
because he eats so much. Harry`s parents are killed by
he-who-must-not-be-named. Harry amazingly was not killed when
his parents were. Hagrid takes Harry to Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry meets Ron who is scared of a
lot of things. Crystal table lamps, He also meets Hermione,
who is very smart and her cleverness helps Harry with a lot of
things. Harry also becomes the youngest seeker on the
Gryffindor Quidditch team. Quidditch is like the sport of
Hogwarts. One day, Ron, Hermione, and Harry go to the
forbidden third floor. Filch, the maintenance worker hears
somebody and looks for them but they went into another door.
This is where they meet Fluffy, a three headed giant dog.
Fluffy actually belongs to Hagrid. Hermione soon finds out
what Fluffy is hiding. Fluffy is hiding Nicholas Flammel's
Sorcerer's Stone. The Sorcerer's Stone can give you the elixir
to live forever. During the rest of the book Harry, Ron, and
Hermione encounter a fully grown Mountain Troll.
Hermione is in the girl's
bathroom near the dungeon. The troll goes into the girl's
bathroom. Harry and Ron save Hermione and kill the troll.
Harry also finds the Mirror of Erised, which shows what you
need to be happy, Harry sees his parents. Also, when Harry,
Ron, and Hermione get detention for being out of bed, they go
into the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid and Draco Malfoy table
lamps. Draco Malfoy is Harry's enemy, and he is in the
Slytherin house. When in the Forbidden Forest, they are trying
to find what is killing the unicorns. When somebody slays a
unicorn, it assures them they will live longer, but it is a
horrible sin. Harry find out the he-who-must-not-be-named is
actually slaying the unicorns. Harry, Ron, and Hermione go
back to the forbidden third floor, the go into the door where
Fluffy is. Fluffy is asleep so they go into the trap door.
They experience many obstacles such as finding the right key
out of 1,000 to fit the door, a game of Wizard's Chess, and a
plant the almost strangles them. Finally Harry goes into the
last door where he meets is professor for defense against
darks arts. The Mirror of Erised had been moved to the room
and Harry looks into it. He sees himself pulling the
Sorcerer's Stone out of his pocket. Crystal style lamp for
table. All of a sudden, his professor takes of his turban and
Harry sees he-who-must-not-be-named, or Lord Voldemort. He
tells Harry to give him the Sorcerer's Stone, but he doesn't .
