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.

Imagine having lost both of your parents without ever getting the chance to know them, then having to live with your uncle and aunt who hate you for no apparent reason at all. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K Rowling Harry endures all of this and more. The setting starts in a small town in England called Little Whinging during the 1990’s, but the main setting of the book is in a castle which is also a school called Hogwarts. The main antagonist of the book is the evil wizard known as Lord Voldemort which is just an anagram for his real name which is Tom Riddle. Throughout the book the Sorcerer's stone is mentioned as a magical item which could make the elixir of life which granted the one who drank it immortality. For this reason, Lord Voldemort was trying to steal the sorcerer’s stone for himself. His plan was to use the defense against the dark arts teacher Professor Quirrell to take the stone while he was in hogwarts. Harry has an Aha! Moment when he finds out that professor Quirrell had been working with voldemort to steal the sorcerer’s stone and is able to stop the two with the help of dumbledore. I would recommend this book to anybody over the age of 10. It is relatively advanced and long, it can be tedious to read if you haven’t had much experience reading. This book is a great starter to the series and has something for everyone which is why I would give this book a 10/10.
Good book review! very discriptive. Good Job!
Amazing book, I have read all the series 3 times! Definitely recommend
i love harry potter its a MUST READ seiries they are amazing
This book was an amazing kick start to one of the best series in my world. I remember cutting myself off from the outside world for days so I could read them all. This is about an 1-year-old named Harry Potter, who survived being shot by a very strong spell. Then when he is 11 finds out he's a wizard, and goes to Hogwarts where he can escape from his cruel cousin, aunt and uncle. At Hogwarts he makes friends with a smart witch named Hermione, and a brother of 6 named Ron. While at Hogwarts, Harry and his friends unwravel many mysteries of the past. I highly reccomend this book to most ages and hope others will follow my example in loving and sharing this book everywhere they go.
