Thsi is my most favorite book of all time. I reread it every year since my friend recommended this book to me two years ago. Harry Potter was raised by his muggle aunt and uncle. They were very harsh on Harry but too kind to their own son, Dudley. Harry always thought his parent died in a car crash until Hagrid (the Hogwarts Gamekeeper) came and told Harry that he is a wizard. Harry finds out that his parents did not die in a car crash- they were murdered by Lord Voldemort. However, Voldemort only left a scar on Harry and was not able to kill him. Later, after Hagrid came Harry followed him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry and made new friends. Together, they prevented Lord Volemort from living forever by stopping him from getting the Sorcerer's Stone. Harry saved the day and survived his first year at Hogwarts.

Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility.
All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley — a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry’s room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn’t had a birthday party in eleven years.
But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry — and anyone who reads about him — will find unforgettable.
For it’s there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that’s been waiting for him… if Harry can survive the encounter.

Best book series ever!
While I'm reading every Harry Potter book, I get this feeling, like I'm actually inside of Hogwarts, with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and all these other awesome characters. I know that the book is fiction, but THEY SEEM SO REAL AND THEY ARE AWESOME! I just love the way that J.K. Rowling describes Hogwarts, as if you're right there in there, hanging out with Harry. I recently went to Harry Potter World, I felt like I was actually in Hogwarts, I felt like Harry was just going to pop up and say, "Hi, little girl, care to join me for a ride on my Nimbus 2000 broomstick?" And it's kind of weird, the way I'm explaining this, but its just so hard to explain how awesome this book is! I have also rated Smile, Wonder, and many other books so please check them out and tell me what you think! Just keep reading and you'll have no idea what adventure's you'll go on! I LOVE HARRY POTTER! And if you don't like this book, I am SO disappointed in you! I love it, its awesome, and you should read it! Personally, I have read it 12 times, I can't keep my hands off of it!
