The story tells of a boy who knows nothing of his parents
except that they were mysteriously killed in a car accident.
Therefore he has to live with his aunt, uncle, and annoyingly
mean cousin. They treat Harry horribly, as if he doesn't even
exist. On his eleventh birthday, a giant man named Hagrid came
and told Harry something that would change his life forever.
He was told that his parents were wizards and that he would
attend Hogwart's, a school of wizardry. He leaves for the
school and when he gets there he learns many amazing things
about his parents world. While attending the school he
unexpectedly reveals a secret that is forbidden by students to
know. Victorian table lamps, To find out the secret, you'll
just have to read the most adventurous book about the courage
of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It will definitely
keep you in suspense.
At first, I really didn't know what to expect from a book this
hyped up. I saw all the reviews saying what a great book this
is, yet I still doubted it, I think I felt this way due to the
hype that it recieved from all the people on the news...etc.
Finally, one day I just decided to read it. Oh boy am I glad I
read this. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is just a
success. At the beginning of the story, I doubted the story
thinking about all the magic and how fairy-tails always made
me sick, but I'll tell you now, by the middle of the book, the
books overall story and conecept had sucked me in, leaving me
wanting more. I gave this book 5 stars because of the whole
development of the story. The characters in the beginning
first are not good friends, but as you read it, you can start
to see a development in friendships with Ron Weasley, Hermione
Granger, and Harry Potter himself. The three begin getting
into some trouble together Victorian, and end up becoming best
friends. The danger that they get into is essential for the
character development because the three end up learning more
about eachother. The different events just made me more
interested. I was really excited about the Cloak Of
Invisibility, and the fact that the book had an unexpected
surprise at the end. J.K. Rowling really did a great job using
her raw talent to write such a magical masterpiece. Her choice
in words was very surprising, since I expected more of a book
for the younger age group. I really like this book because it
really kept me wondering what would happen next table lamp. It
also never got boring. The only real flaw that I see in the
book is that the main "bad guy" is more of a in-human kind of
thing. I was really kind of hoping for something a little bit
more human since I'm not really into the whole monster bad guy
kind of thing. Other then that, the story was very interesting
and I think this book is a great example of J.K. Rowlings
awesome talent, and to tell you the truth, if I could give
this story a ten, I would, my suggestion to all the people
that haven't read this book, go to your local book store and
buy this book, I promise you will be surprised as much as I
love Victorian lamps. |
