The plot of the book is,Harry is a wizard and his mother and
father die when he is a baby. So he has to go live with "muggles"
or people that aren't witches or wizards. When he turns eleven
he gets a lot of letters from the best school of witchcarft
and wizardy, which his mother and father also went to. So he
goes to the school, the name is Hogwarts, and a bunch strange
things happen to him and his friends(Ron and Hermione). So
they decide to try and find out what's going on around the
school. And they do. It has to do with the Sorcerer's
Stone(hints the name)and the person who killed Harry's
parents(Lord Voldermort) That's all I'm going to tell you
becuase i don't want to ruin it for you.
My opinion of Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer's Stone is I thought is was wonderful, but I saw
the movie before i I read the book. It was hard getting into
the first few chapters. When Outdoor Table lamps,
I did I could not put the book down. My parents had to take
the book away to get me to go to sleep.
The main antagonist main are
Draco Malfoy, Profesor Snape, Lord Voldermort, Profesor
Quirrell, and the DRusleys. The main protagonist are of course
Harry Potter, Hermoine Ganger, Ron Weasley, Profesor
Dumbledore,and Hargrid. Outdoor lamps.
I just want to mention that
I counted 192 pages before the story actually got to the
business of solving what you-know-who was up to. In other
words it was a 192 page long intro to Hogwarts followed by a
short story.
If you look at the other
Potter books written, this book is simply the intro book,
kindof like a pre-algebra course. As a stand-alone book, it
kinda sucks. Don't get me wrong, it has remarkable immersion
qualities. This book has the magic stuff that all writers
aspire to achieve. The book is uniquely inspired at a level
not seen since Walt Disney did Fantasia! Outdoor
But the plot is hazy, the
conflict is short and the primary characters are
stereotypical. This may be an enjoyable context for kids, but
unenjoyable for adults looking for more personal involvement
in the story. For instance, the wizest most powerful wizard at
Hogwarts is an old grey wizard with a long white silvery
beard. As you may guess: he's good with his lamps, he's wise,
he's powerful, he's rarely seen, and he's unexplicbly
omnipotent. Talk about your stereotypical wizard! There's nary
a Tolkien (Gandalf), Camelot (Merlin), Dragonlance (Fistandauntilis),
Forgotten Realms (Elminster) or other popular fantasy setting
in existance that hasn't done the old grey wizard thing to
death! Stop with the old grey wizard thing already!!! |
