Description

Harry Potter is an ordinary boy who lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon's house, which he thinks is normal for someone like him who's parents have been killed in a 'car crash'. He is bullied by them and his fat, spoilt cousin Dudley, and lives a very unremarkable life with only the odd hiccup (like his hair growing back overnight!) to cause him much to think about. That is until an owl turns up with a letter addressed to Harry and all hell breaks loose! He is literally rescued by a world where nothing is as it seems and magic lessons are the order of the day. Read and find out how Harry discovers his true heritage at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, the reason behind his parents mysterious death, who is out to kill him, and how he uncovers the most amazing secret of all time, the fabled Philosopher's Stone! All this and muggles too. Now, what are they?

I have not yet finished this book but so far I am completely in love with it! I cannot wait to read the rest of the series, when I do I wonder if they will be as good as the first... I'm betting they will. Harry potter is definitely one to recommend.

Just give the first one a try. I refused for a long time because everyone was raving about them, but once I tried I found out that I really loved them. Your library should have them.

Lovely: Not everyone does it. It is not the proper way to write and it makes it hard for others to read. That's why people keep asking others who write that way to stop.

I had to get my mother to buy this one for me when I was 12 . I had the Sorcceror's stone already but I'm such a book whore I had to have her buy it from a UK store then have it shipped over here to America.
