bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'."<br /><br />Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!</span></div></div></div><div class=""></div></div></div><div data-testid="genresList" class="BookPageMetadataSection__genres"><ul class="CollapsableList" aria-label="Top genres for this book"><span tabindex="-1"><span class="BookPageMetadataSection__genrePlainText"><span class="Text Text__body3 Text__subdued">Genres</span></span><span class="BookPageMetadataSection__genreButton"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/fantasy" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">Fantasy</span></a></span><span class="BookPageMetadataSection__genreButton"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/fiction" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">Fiction</span></a></span><span class="BookPageMetadataSection__genreButton"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/young-adult" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">Young Adult</span></a></span><span class="BookPageMetadataSection__genreButton"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/magic" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">Magic</span></a></span><span class="BookPageMetadataSection__genreButton"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/childrens" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">Childrens</span></a></span><span class="BookPageMetadataSection__genreButton"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/middle-grade" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">Middle Grade</span></a></span><span class="BookPageMetadataSection__genreButton"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/genres/audiobook" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">Audiobook</span></a></span></span><span tabindex="-1"></span> <div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium" aria-label="Show all items in the list"><span class="Button__labelItem">...more</span></button></div></ul></div><div class="BookDetails"><div class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"><span class="Text Text__body3"><div class="FeaturedDetails"><p data-testid="pagesFormat">333 pages, Kindle Edition</p><p data-testid="publicationInfo">First published June 26, 1997</p></div></span></span><span tabindex="-1"></span> <div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Book details and editions"><span class="Button__labelItem">Book details & editions</span><span class="Button__labelItem"><i class="Icon ChevronIcon"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M8.70710678,9.27397892 C8.31658249,8.90867369 7.68341751,8.90867369 7.29289322,9.27397892 C6.90236893,9.63928415 6.90236893,10.2315609 7.29289322,10.5968662 L12,15 L16.7071068,10.5968662 C17.0976311,10.2315609 17.0976311,9.63928415 16.7071068,9.27397892 C16.3165825,8.90867369 15.6834175,8.90867369 15.2928932,9.27397892 L12,12.3542255 L8.70710678,9.27397892 Z" transform="rotate(0 12 12)"></path></svg></i></span></button></div></div></div><hr class="Divider Divider--largeMargin" role="presentation"/><div class="SocialSignalsSection"><div class="SocialSignalsSection__container"><div class="SocialSignalsSection__signal"><div class="SocialSignalsSection__loading"><svg role="img" aria-label="Loading interface..." viewBox="0 0 263 46" preserveAspectRatio="none"><title>Loading interface...</title><rect x="0" y="0" width="400" height="130" clip-path="url(#SocialSignalsSection-idClip)" style="fill:url(#SocialSignalsSection-idGradient)"></rect><defs><clipPath id="SocialSignalsSection-idClip"><circle cx="25" cy="23" r="23"></circle><rect x="64" y="16" rx="4" ry="4" width="199" height="16"></rect></clipPath><linearGradient id="SocialSignalsSection-idGradient"><stop offset="0%" stop-color="#EBEBEB" stop-opacity="1"><animate attributeName="offset" values="-2;

Rowling</b>, pronounced like <i>rolling</i>, her name when her first <i>Harry Potter</i> book was published was simply <b>Joanne Rowling</b>. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose <b>K</b> as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. She calls herself <b>Jo</b> and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name <b>Joanne Murray</b> when conducting personal business. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of <b>Joanne Kathleen Rowling</b>. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly.<br /><br />Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. They married on 14 March 1965. Her mother's maternal grandfather, Dugald Campbell, was born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Her mother's paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War.<br /><br />Rowling's sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. The family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when Rowling was four. She attended St Michael's Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More. Her headmaster at St Michael's, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration for the <i>Harry Potter</i> headmaster Albus Dumbledore.<br /><br />As a child, Rowling often wrote fantasy stories, which she would usually then read to her sister. She recalls that: "I can still remember me telling her a story in which she fell down a rabbit hole and was fed strawberries by the rabbit family inside it. Certainly the first story I ever wrote down (when I was five or six) was about a rabbit called Rabbit. He got the measles and was visited by his friends, including a giant bee called Miss Bee." At the age of nine, Rowling moved to Church Cottage in the Gloucestershire village of Tutshill, close to Chepstow, Wales. When she was a young teenager, her great aunt, who Rowling said "taught classics and approved of a thirst for knowledge, even of a questionable kind," gave her a very old copy of Jessica Mitford's autobiography, <i>Hons and Rebels</i>. Mitford became Rowling's heroine, and Rowling subsequently read all of her books.<br /><br />Rowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, "I wasn’t particularly happy. I think it’s a dreadful time of life." She had a difficult homelife; her mother was ill and she had a difficult relationship with her father (she is no longer on speaking terms with him). She attended secondary school at Wyedean School and College, where her mother had worked as a technician in the science department. Rowling said of her adolescence, "Hermione [a bookish, know-it-all <i>Harry Potter</i> character] is loosely based on me. She's a caricature of me when I was eleven, which I'm not particularly proud of." Steve Eddy, who taught Rowling English when she first arrived, remembers her as "not exceptional" but "one of a group of girls who were bright, and quite good at English." Sean Harris, her best friend in the Upper Sixth owned a turquoise Ford Anglia, which she says inspired the one in her books.</span></div></div></div><div class=""></div></div><hr class="Divider

It's "Philosopher's Stone" for me or no stones at all!<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/259147880" rel="nofollow noopener">01/12/2020</a> - 9%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1578818140ra/28761963.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) "People in cloaks! Mr. Dursley couldn't bear people who dressed in funny clothes – the getups you saw on young people!"<br>- With the movies, it's easy to forget that everyday wizard attire involves brightly colored cloaks and pointy hats.<br>(2) McGonagall: "There will be books written about Harry – every child in our world will know his name!"<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/259383615" rel="nofollow noopener">01/13/2020</a> - 16%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1578901709ra/28766343.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) Harry gets Dudley's second room, which seems very much like the Room of Requirement. It's used to hide Dudley's disused and broken things, but now functions as a bedroom.<br>(2) If this snake was bred in captivity, and doesn't often speak to humans, how does it speak Portuguese? I suppose there's some Parseltongue iteration of Portuguese.<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/259613091" rel="nofollow noopener">01/14/2020</a> - 23%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1578990386ra/28774847.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) Hagrid: "'The gold ones are Galleons,' he explained. 'Seventeen silver Sickles to a Galleon and twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle.'"<br>- It's interesting that despite UK decimalization, wizards still use a kind of £sd currency. They're sort of American that way: resisting metric.<br>(2) A knut is a wizard penny, I presume after King Cnut the Great.<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/259837576" rel="nofollow noopener">01/15/2020</a> - 34%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1579077341ra/28780500.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) Harry: "What are Slytherin and Hufflepuff?"<br>Hagrid: "School houses. There's four. Everyone says Hufflepuff are a lot o' duffers, but–"<br>Harry: "I bet I'm in Hufflepuff," said Harry gloomily."<br>- Hufflepuff does sound like it's for stoners.<br>(2) Ron's both shocked and impressed that Harry said "Voldemort." Sort of like cursing, uttering his name.<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/260049786" rel="nofollow noopener">01/16/2020</a> - 43%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1700195783ra/34933030.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) "Hermione almost ran to the stool and jammed the hat eagerly on her head. 'GRYFFINDOR!' shouted the hat. Ron groaned."<br>- And thus begins our enemies-to-lovers romance.<br>(2) "Ickle" must be Britishism of Britishisms. I've only ever seen it in "Harry Potter" books.<br>(3) Hope my GIFs are well-received.

When it comes to Hermione, Harry's invariably placid, it's always fireworks with Ron.<br>(2) Before I knew better, I used to think "Hermione" was pronounced "hermy-won."<br>(3) "Ron was fascinated by the fifty pence. 'Weird!' he said, 'What a shape! This is money?'"<br>- I guess heptagons aren't common among wizards.<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/260626137" rel="nofollow noopener">01/19/2020</a> - 69%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1579401530ra/28802279.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) The problem with the library's "restricted section" is that anyone can go there. Just keep them locked in a separate room, there must be hundreds of those available.<br>(2) Remembralls are about as useful as tying string around your finger.<br>(3) Harry: "How did you know – ?"<br>Dumbledore: "I don't need a cloak to become invisible."<br>- Totally pwned!<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/260852287" rel="nofollow noopener">01/20/2020</a> - 73%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1579500529ra/28808404.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) “Ron and Hermione [were] playing chess. Chess was the only thing Hermione ever lost at, something Harry and Ron thought was very good for her.”<br>- I agree, it keeps her humble and open to suggestions.<br>- It’s good for Ron too, having something he’s best at.<br>(2) I love how openly biased teachers are toward their houses. It makes them more human.<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/261079221" rel="nofollow noopener">01/21/2020</a> - 77%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1579521292ra/28809751.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) Ron and Neville fist fight Malfoy, Crabbe & Goyle. If you ask me, Malfoy's Ron's nemesis not Harry's.<br>(2) "Hermione... had started drawing up study schedules and color coding all her notes. Harry and Ron wouldn't have minded, but she kept nagging them to do the same."<br>- Pressuring idiosyncrasies is weird... like making friends dress like you.<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/261298543" rel="nofollow noopener">01/22/2020</a> - 84%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1579679344ra/28820922.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) Filch: "Hang you by your wrists... I've got the chains still in my office, keep 'em well oiled in case they're ever needed."<br>- Not an awful idea, motives aside. Manacles can be handy.<br>(2) "Snape made them all nervous... while they tried to remember how to make a Forgetfulness potion."<br>- Trick question! Potion fumes might cause them to forget!<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/261516626" rel="nofollow noopener">01/23/2020</a> - 90%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1579728068ra/28824951.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) The difference between J.K. Rowling and Rick Riordan is that Rowling plays the long game, building scenes toward the climax. Whereas Riordan plays in short bursts, ping-ponging from one mini-quest to another. Here, for example, Ron being best at chess, Hagrid giving Harry a flute, Peeves being scared of the Bloody Baron, etc., all pay-off at the climax.<br><br><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/show/261720172" rel="nofollow noopener">01/24/2020</a> - 90%<br><img src="https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1579850719ra/28832062.gif" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>(1) Dumbledore: "Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself."<br>- Wonder why Dumbledore doesn't give this advice to everyone? Surely people would listen.<br>(2) Lost in the narrative is that Harry kills a guy. Literally kills him with the power of love... it's a curious thing.</label></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/22106879?shelf=audiobook-audible" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">audiobook-audible</span></a><span tabindex="-1"> </span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/22106879?shelf=author-british" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">author-british</span></a><span tabindex="-1"> </span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/22106879?shelf=genre-juvenile-fantasy" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">genre-juvenile-fantasy</span></a></span><span tabindex="-1"></span> <div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium" aria-label="Show all items in the list"><span class="Button__labelItem">...more</span></button></div></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">827 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">160 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

tabindex="-1"><div class="TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large" tabindex="-1" data-testid="contentContainer"><span class="Formatted">Publishers have my sympathy. If I try to put myself in the place of an editor picking this manuscript from the pile I can say with some certainty that I would not have recognized it as the ticket to a multi-billion dollar prize. I would have thought to myself that it was a good fun read, revisiting the magic-school trope and doing a fine job for children in the 8 to 12 range. If I hadn't had anything better land on my desk I might have published it, but then again, like quite a number of publishers, I might have passed in favour of a book I liked better.<br /><br />I read this maybe 15 years back so I could share in what was exciting my three kids at the time. And I've read it twice to my daughter, Celyn. We read the first 5 some years back, and now she's 12 we're going to read the whole lot. She's very disabled and can't read for herself (she can't hold the book or see the page for starters...) <br /><br />Having just finished I've checked the shelves to discover we have two copies of book 1 and two copies of book 3, but none of book 2. So JKR will be getting some more of my money shortly!<br /><br />To the review... I liked the book. I have no idea why it has sold a gazzilion copies more than any other children's book or why so many adults are so taken with it. JKR writes solid enough prose, though her addiction to adverbs in dialogue tags irks me no end, he said testily. She writes a fun and inventive story, though the internal inconsistencies would have distressed me even as a child. Why do the finest wizards in the land leave a great treasure guarded only by a series of puzzles rather than actual defences? If in the final scenes the puzzle poem hadn't been left to give the solution to the potion test ... or the key hadn't been left in the same room as the door that wouldn't yield to magic ... would that not have been a better way to defend the treasure? Yes ... it was more fun this way, but ... dammit ... kids aren't stupid...<br /><br />But yes, funny and inventive magic, school dynamics of making friends and enemies, the hijinx, the evil baddie, the chosen one... it's all good. Celyn certainly enjoyed it. She's on team Hermionie.<br /><br />The only other thing that really bothered me was the repeated insinuation, present even in the term itself, that 'muggles' are somehow lesser. That the random gift of magical ability somehow makes you better.<br /><br />I remember that later on (and hinted at in this book) the idea of mud-bloods (wizards born of muggles) is offered up as a proxy for racism and we're invited to condemn Draco Malfoy for his views (rightly so). But all the time I read this I'm feeling the hypocrisy embodied in the whole idea of muggles, which, albeit voiced without open malice, is really the same damn thing. <br /><br />I will report back on book 2 when we're done.<br /><br />EDITED IN FROM THE COMMENTS:<br /><br />>>Aliyah wrote: "Personally I believe the trope is so familiar to you because of JK Rowling. She made this style of fantasy more popular."<br /><br />>My reply: Personal beliefs are fine and dandy, but in this instance ... badly wrong.<br /><br />My first encounter with magic schools was in The Worst Witch series (1974) which centres on a magic school and which I began in 1974. Followed by A Wizard of Earthsea (1968) which also centres on a magic school and which I read in 1975.<br /><br />The mechanics of reaching a boarding school on a dedicated train laid on for the purpose and of sorting a boarding school into four groups to be housed in four towers was something I encountered at a still younger age in the early 70s in my mother's copy of First Term at Malory Towers (1946).<br /><br /><br /><br /> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/marklawrenceauthor" rel="nofollow noopener">Join my Patreon</a><br /> <a href="http://eepurl.com/cimnK1" rel="nofollow noopener">Join my 3-emails-a-year newsletter #prizes</a><br /><br /><br /><br />...</span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"></span><span tabindex="-1"></span></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">633 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">75 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

He was always a bit of <b>an odd child</b> - much to his family's dismay.<br><br>Things just...<b> <i>happened</i> </b>...around him. Like when he was running from bullies and jumped to the school roof. Or when he got an atrocious haircut (courtesy of Aunt Petunia) and all of his hair grew back in a single night.<br><br>On his eleventh birthday, a letter comes to him and <b>a whole new world opens</b> in front of his eyes.<br><br>In short - I LOVED THIS ONE. I thought I loved the Harry Potter books when I first read them, but when I bought the illustrated version...well, that love instantly quadrupled.<br><br>The fully illustrated Philosopher's Stone still has all the wonder and amazement as the boy-turned-wizard embarks on a harrowing 7-book-adventure and the illustrations bring a whole new dimension.<br><br><b>Seriously, I can't emphasize enough how much I love this book.</b> Just look at these images - they're magnificent:<br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1514081063i/24749258._SY540_.jpg" alt="description" width="330" height="380" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>Ahh!

They are now old enough to start appreciating the story so I thought it would be fun to read it out loud to them. While it did take us a while because, you know . . . life happens . . . we were able to find a few minutes every few nights or so to read a chapter or part of a chapter. It was really fun to see them getting into it. <br /><br />They are looking forward to watching the movie and starting in on the Chamber of Secrets!<br /><br />Original review:<br /><br />One of my first jobs was at a bookstore. When I was a kid my Mom would take me to the mall and I would spend tons of time hanging out at Waldenbooks (who here remembers Waldenbooks?) Right when I became legally old enough to work, I went in and submitted my application and a few weeks later I was selling literature to the masses.<br /><br />Why do I tell you this story on this review, you ask? Well, at the time, young adult/teen literature consisted mainly of RL Stein, Christopher Pike, Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, and a few other classic Newberry Award winners, but certainly we did not have a YA section to the extent you see it today.<br /><br />Towards the end of my tenure at Waldenbooks - as Oprah's book club was hitting its stride and Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus was in its bazzilionth week on the New York Times best seller list - a book display arrived featuring a buzzy new title about a certain boy wizard. I remember the display at the front of the store, and selling a few copies, but I didn't realize what it would become.<br /><br />A few years later (early 2000s), I had kinda gotten out of the loop on what was big in books. I had just finished college, which had taken up most of my free reading time. A friend of mine named Bronco (yup, real name, not a nickname, who also was the Best Man at my wedding) had a copy of this book on his coffee table. Holy cow! Here is that same book we were selling at Waldenbooks about 5 years before - what was he doing with it!?<br /><br />Well, he said it was good, so I borrowed it. I quickly plowed through the first 4 books and then got the pleasure of joining the world in waiting for the release of Order of the Phoenix. And, I noticed when I went to the bookstore, the YA section and selection was not so small anymore.

long to read this series is because I just couldn't imagine myself enjoying reading about an eleven-year-old boy and his adventures at a school of wizardry. I thought it would be too juvenile for my taste. I was wrong, of course.<br />I can honestly say that I loved every minute of this. It's a spectacular little romp with funny, courageous, and endearing characters that you can't help but love.<br />It has talking chess pieces, singing hats, a giant three-headed dog named Fluffy, a hilarious giant with a dragon fetish, a master wizard that's just a little bit crazy, mail carrier owls, goblins running a bank, unicorns, centaurs(!), trolls . . . and probably much more that I'm forgetting. <br />And then there's the lead characters: Hermione, the young scholar who starts out prim and up-tight but soon becomes a true friend; Ron, the boy who has little money but who has an abundance of family and loyalty to his friends to make up for it; and then there's Harry, the boy who starts out sleeping in a closet and ends up being a hero. Harry is kind to those that deserve it, fearless when it counts the most, and wonderfully intelligent. What's not to love? <br /><br />In regards to the ending: <input type="checkbox" class="spoiler__control" aria-label="The following text has been marked spoiler.

If there were hints that he was the true culprit and not Snape, I obviously missed them.</label><br /><br />FAVORITE QUOTE: <i>"But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend.

TruncatedContent__text--large" tabindex="-1" data-testid="contentContainer"><span class="Formatted">My original review was a comparison of sorts between Harry Potter and Twilight. However, this is stupid as the two are incomparable. Honestly, its not even worth discussing. Its not just that Twilight doesn't come close, it is the fact that Harry Potter transcends other similar works. Its peerless. To quote Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction: It <i>"ain't the same fuckin' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same fuckin' sport." </i><br /><br />There was a day when I thought I needed to defend Harry Potter, in the midst of the now dead Twilight craze, and you can see that below in what was my original review. It is a testament to the power of this series, that while various other franchises (Twilight, Hunger Games) have surged into popularity and then faded, Harry Potter remains unwaveringly strong after nineteen years. It is clear readers hold just as much admiration for these books as they always have. Time has not dimmed that.<br />I will, one day, write an essay about what these books mean to me. Eternal, this is the one that started it all. <br /><br /><i>Original review (circa 2010) </i><br />A note in regard to the on-going Potter vs Twilight debate: <br />Go ahed, tell me <a href="https://goodreads.com/book/show/41865.Twilight__Twilight___1_" title="Twilight (Twilight, #1) by Stephenie Meyer" rel="noopener">Twilight</a> is better. <br />Tell me that James is scarier than Voldemort, <br />That the Cullens are a better family than the Weasly's <br />That Edward is cooler than Harry, <br />and Bella is smarter than Hermione. <br />Tell me that <a href="https://goodreads.com/author/show/941441.Stephenie_Meyer" title="Stephenie Meyer" rel="noopener">Stephenie Meyer</a> is more talented than <a href="https://goodreads.com/author/show/1077326.J_K__Rowling" title="J.K. Rowling" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a>. <br /><br />Go ahead, <br />I dare you. <br /><br />Those who think the topic of Harry Potter or Twilight is worth debating and arguing over, <br />are utterly stupid. <br /><br />Quite frankly-this book is amazing. </span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2683062?shelf=5-star-excellent" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">5-star-excellent</span></a><span tabindex="-1"> </span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2683062?shelf=books-i-own" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">books-i-own</span></a><span tabindex="-1"> </span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2683062?shelf=dearest-old-favourites" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">dearest-old-favourites</span></a></span><span tabindex="-1"></span> <div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium" aria-label="Show all items in the list"><span class="Button__labelItem">...more</span></button></div></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">878 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">165 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

well. She wasn't an outcast in school, and all the bullying and teasing stopped with the commencement of high school, but she had always been a bookworm and has generally preferred the company of her own thoughts.<br><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1384328297i/6850034._SY540_.jpg" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Lunchtime had always been dedicated not to eating, but to sitting in the library, browsing through books.<br><br>(Not to worry, she got her nutrition in 5th period in the form of a giant 6-inch M&M studded cookie and a package of Sour Patch Kids and/or a package of Reese's Pieces. Ah, the effortless metabolism of youth.)<br><br>One day, there were shiny new books on her school library's "New Releases" shelf. Harry Potter, books 1 through 3. She had heard of the books before, of course, since they were a constant presence on the NYT bestsellers list, but she had always avoided them, thinking of them as children's novels.<br><br>At the grand age of 14, surely she was too old for a little kid's fantasy novel. She had read the <i>Outlander</i> series earlier that year, after all. And it had sex in it. SEX! She didn't really quite understand everything in the book, but the point is, she had read them. Surely, at 14, Khanh was ready for more mature novels.<br><br>And that did not include Harry Potter. <b>Harry Potter is 11. Khanh is 14.</b> There is a vast difference in their ages. Khanh was a <i>teenager</i>, dammit.<br><br>But the Harry Potter books were new. Brand new. They were shiny, they had never been touched by another reader. And Khanh was tempted.<br><br>She picked up the first book in the series: <i>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</i>.<br><br>The end.<br><br><b>Or rather, the beginning.</b></span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4527753?shelf=all-time-favorites" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">all-time-favorites</span></a></span><span tabindex="-1"></span></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">1,691 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">192 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

published in the US, before the movie, before all of the fame and merchandising opportunities. Initially, when I read it, I devoured it in two days. Now that I am old, well as old as Megan Fox, I wanted to hate on the author but couldn't.<br /><br />JK Rowling makes writing look easy. Her prose is easy to read out loud, very smooth. Although the world that she has created is magical, it isn't confusing or that difficult to imagine unlike LOTR or Dune. The book is also incredibly fast paced. Many of the fantasy books that I have read have at least 100 pages to warm up. So how does the author make us want to root or cheer for Harry? How do we become invested in him? He is an orphan and an abused orphan at that. On the one hand, this formula definitely works, but isn't it a little over done? JK Rowling also sets up some beautiful scenes like when Harry is receiving his invitation to Hogwarts. How many people actually try that hard? When Ron and Harry discover that Hermione is in danger, they both go to assist her. However, most people these days would go, "Oh well." Sorry my INFJ is showing.<br /><br />There were a few things that I didn't like:<br />*Why does JK Rowling hate cats? Mr Dursley sees something odd, a cat reading a map. My cats play chess, play the piano, watch TV, and once even typed "hi" on my computer. I don't find reading a map to be a bit strange at all. Maybe my house is just brimming with magic and as a muggle I just don't know about it? Mrs. Figg also made Harry look at photographs of all of the cats that she has ever owned. As if that is some sort of punishment!<br />*How Hermione is treated. When Ron and Harry are in trouble, Ron screams at her, "Have you gone mad? Are you a witch or not?" Um Ron, if you treat me like, you can save yourself. At the end of the book, Hermione is never fully rewarded for her portion in saving Ron and Harry, just figuring out the riddle. Even after she was a better person than I.<br />*Quidditch and chess - not really my thing although this opened up a brilliant line of merchandising for the author.<br />*Some things didn't make sense to me. Why was there a sip of the potions left? Why exactly was Dudley so popular at school? <br /><br />Now, I think a trip to Orlando is in order to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!<br /><br />2025 Reading Schedule<br />Jan A Town Like Alice<br />Feb Birdsong<br />Mar Captain Corelli's Mandolin - Louis De Berniere<br />Apr War and Peace<br />May The Woman in White<br />Jun Atonement<br />Jul The Shadow of the Wind<br />Aug Jude the Obscure<br />Sep Ulysses<br />Oct Vanity Fair<br />Nov A Fine Balance<br />Dec Germinal<br /><br /><b>Connect With Me!</b><br /><a href="https://lisaoftroy.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Blog</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Lisa_of_Troy" rel="nofollow noopener">Twitter</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvmSewQ0IGOzDnuMZNUKTbg" rel="nofollow noopener">BookTube</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LisaofTroy" rel="nofollow noopener">Facebook</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lisa_of_troy/" rel="nofollow noopener">Insta</a> <a href="https://pangobooks.com/bookstore/lisaoftroy" rel="nofollow noopener">My Bookstore at Pango</a></span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"></span><span tabindex="-1"></span></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">599 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">19 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

I didn't hate it or love it either way, though towards the end I realized how lukewarm I felt about the story since I would prefer to read any other book I had on hand. I appreciate the level of novelty in the world-building during the time this was first published. The friendship between the trio is cute. Hermione and Ron are fun characters and I might have enjoyed the book more if they had been the main protagonists. Downsides: I cringed at the excessive fatphobia, anti-semitism, and the turban part. I also didn't like that the final action of the book got skipped over quickly by having a fade-to-black moment and then a lengthy explanation told by one of the side characters. It felt like such an abrupt way to end the story... but TBH, I was glad to be done with it so I could move on to other books lol.</span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"></span><span tabindex="-1"></span></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">527 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">78 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

On to the next one!<br /><br />********************************<br /> <b>Original Review:</b><br /><br />I read this book a couple of years ago and, for some unknown reason, never continued on. It was just as wonderfully magical as I remembered, a breath of fresh air during what is usually a stressful time of year for me. I have yet to find a story that feels so pure and childlike that appeals to such a broad range of people. There’s something for everyone here; whether you are 10 or 100, Hogwarts is a place you can escape to and enjoy hearty adventures that you won’t find elsewhere. <br /><br />I truly love all of the characters and feel the entire cast is well done, but my personal favorites are the Weasley twins, Hagrid, and Professor McGonnall. While I’ve seen all the movies and know the general storyline, I’m really excited to experience the story “first hand” and see what all was left out from the films. I’m also intrigued to find out more about each house, especially the ones that took a backseat in this story. Not sure if I can say anything that hasn’t been said before, but I loved it! <br /><br /><b>Buddy read with Sam of Clues and Reviews! </b></span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/47207032?shelf=favorites" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">favorites</span></a></span><span tabindex="-1"></span></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">497 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">80 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

ONE.</b><br><i>This Review also for those who hate the series !<br>Please bear with me..</i><br><br>Without it, most Book stores & publishers may have the same fate of Video Stores like Blockbuster LLC, which, despite being super popular in the 90s, closed all the stores by 2013, shutting down forever.<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1411425655i/11225976._SX540_.jpg" width="400" height="250" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br>Yes, without this Novel, and with the rapid change in technology, the ease of making e-books and reading it in PCs, Smartphones, Tablets..etc, the publishing and trade of new paper books may decrease rapidly.<br>It'd be limited for religious or educating books, classics, small novels. Even those could be just electronic too, and the Books be just like Good Ol' Video Tapes.<br><img

right? very gloomy idea to the world without This novel,<b> The One.</b><br><br>Well, in the case you think I'm exaggerate..Let's have,<br><blockquote> <b>A <i>Brief !!</i> History of Literature in the 90s<br>-------------------------------</b> </blockquote>Well, let’s back to early 90s , where TV is in every house, even in every room, Video sets are there too, rental video stores everywhere, satellite receivers and cable channels growing fast packed with channels for kids & teenagers, making them attached more & more into screens, <i>not to mention Video Games, Game boy and Nintendo</i>… <br><br>Those of this new generation who read are “weirdos" or "nerds” to the rest of their peers.<br>And for those “few who read”, book stores mostly got for them comics and graphic novels, which most of them created early this century.<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1411429565i/11226560._SY540_.jpg" width="400" height="350" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>Classic Novels, they read just for Schools and Classes mostly.<br>And New Novels that make Best Seller are the ones made, or will be made, into movies for Julia Roberts, Tom Cruse or any of the 90s Hollywood celebrity, or the ones by Stephen King because ,of course, will be made into movies too.<br><br>Even these new novels didn't live up the selling numbers of Tolkien, Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie <i>-what’s with the British authors and selling numbers :)?-</i> , also in Russia no more Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, no more Hugo in France, in <b>Egypt</b> no more like Naguib Mahfouz & the great authors of the 50s to 70s..<br><br>No new Big Hit for novels, most of the selling books are those of Speculation about strange & mysterious things in the world or in religion, Dream interpretation , cocking books or celebrities rumors.<br><img

& UK, Top Selling books mostly the Self Help ones, or those teaching Computers Programming and Web Sites <i>-this brand new huge technology leap back then-</i><br><img

novels to attract the new generation of kids and teenagers, There's few Successful Highlights though, like R.L.Stine’s Goosepumbs in 1992 which made a very good success, and translated in many countries including Egypt.<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1411584118i/11252021._SX540_.jpg" width="400" height="188" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>And in Egypt there’s also a very successful project by respectful Publishing house that made “Pocket Novels” for youth, by brilliant Egyptian writers presenting huge variety of novels of many genres, Sci-Fi, Action Thriller, comics, Romance .etc.<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1411584118i/11252022._SX540_.jpg" width="401" height="250" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>There’s also “Reading for All”, project by the first lady “Susan Mubarak”, reprinting a huge verity of important books and novels from all over the world in very cheap prices.<br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1411584576i/11252145._SX540_.jpg" width="401" height="274" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br>But all these effort didn't attract “more and more” of new youth readers as intended, it just made more and more books for those few who already reads.<br>The vast numbers of those who don’t just read will increase if there isn't a BIG new attractive <b>Reading Experience</b> to get them into reading, specially with the more channels, more movies.<br>But the BIGGEST Obstacle for them to read came out in <b>1994</b>, and became a real phenomenon by 1995..<br><img

Yes.</b><br /><br />Taking arms against Harry Potter, at this moment, is to emulate Hamlet taking arms against a sea of troubles. By opposing the sea, you won't end it. The Harry Potter epiphenomenon will go on, doubtless for some time, as J. R. R. Tolkien did, and then wane.<br /><br />The official newspaper of our dominant counter-culture, The New York Times, has been startled by the Potter books into establishing a new policy for its not very literate book review. Rather than crowd out the Grishams, Clancys, Crichtons, Kings, and other vastly popular prose fictions on its fiction bestseller list, the Potter volumes will now lead a separate children's list. J. K. Rowling, the chronicler of Harry Potter, thus has an unusual distinction: She has changed the policy of the policy-maker.<br /><br />Imaginative Vision<br /><br />I read new children's literature, when I can find some of any value, but had not tried Rowling until now. I have just concluded the 300 pages of the first book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," purportedly the best of the lot. Though the book is not well written, that is not in itself a crucial liability. It is much better to see the movie, "The Wizard of Oz," than to read the book upon which it was based, but even the book possessed an authentic imaginative vision. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" does not, so that one needs to look elsewhere for the book's (and its sequels') remarkable success. Such speculation should follow an account of how and why Harry Potter asks to be read.<br /><br />The ultimate model for Harry Potter is "Tom Brown's School Days" by Thomas Hughes, published in 1857. The book depicts the Rugby School presided over by the formidable Thomas Arnold, remembered now primarily as the father of Matthew Arnold, the Victorian critic-poet. But Hughes' book, still quite readable, was realism, not fantasy. Rowling has taken "Tom Brown's School Days" and re-seen it in the magical mirror of Tolkein. The resultant blend of a schoolboy ethos with a liberation from the constraints of reality-testing may read oddly to me, but is exactly what millions of children and their parents desire and welcome at this time.<br /><br />In what follows, I may at times indicate some of the inadequacies of "Harry Potter." But I will keep in mind that a host are reading it who simply will not read superior fare, such as Kenneth Grahame's "The Wind in the Willows" or the "Alice" books of Lewis Carroll. Is it better that they read Rowling than not read at all? Will they advance from Rowling to more difficult pleasures?<br /><br />Rowling presents two Englands, mundane and magical, divided not by social classes, but by the distinction between the "perfectly normal" (mean and selfish) and the adherents of sorcery. The sorcerers indeed seem as middle-class as the Muggles, the name the witches and wizards give to the common sort, since those addicted to magic send their sons and daughters off to Hogwarts, a Rugby school where only witchcraft and wizardry are taught. Hogwarts is presided over by Albus Dumbeldore as Headmaster, he being Rowling's version of Tolkein's Gandalf. The young future sorcerers are just like any other budding Britons, only more so, sports and food being primary preoccupations. (Sex barely enters into Rowling's cosmos, at least in the first volume.)<br /><br />----------------------------<br /><br />The first half of a little piece I wrote from the <i>Journal</i> in July 2000.

class="ReviewText"><section class="ReviewText__content" dir="auto"><div class="TruncatedContent" tabindex="-1"><div class="TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large" tabindex="-1" data-testid="contentContainer"><span class="Formatted">I have absolutley no idea why goodreads deleted my review AND rating but thankfully I still had it saved! So here it is again, may it stick around this time! <br /><br /><i>”It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.”</i><br /><br />Okay, here’s the thing: There are already 96.502 reviews about this book on goodreads and I think it’s safe to say that mine will carry no weight. *lol* <br />So I decided to make this a short “my thoughts about this book” review. ;-P<br /><br />1.) <i>”Thirty-six,” he said, looking up at his mother and father. “That’s two less than last year.”</i> <br /><br />I totally forgot how horrible the Dursleys are and I think I kind of suppressed how dreadful Dudley is! Such a spoilt brat and this is actually putting it more than just lightly. If anyone should go to a boot camp sort of school it certainly should be him. <br /><br />2.) <i>”Ah, go boil yer heads, both of yeh,” said Hagrid. “Harry – yer a wizard.”</i><br /><br />Bless Hagrid for being the kind and compassionate man that he is! <3 Those lines went down in Harry Potter history and started it all! XD<br /><br />3.) <i>”Blown up a toilet? We’ve never blown up a toilet.”<br /> “Great idea though, thanks, Mum.”</i><br /><br />Haha! You gotta love the Weasley twins! They might be side characters but they always manage to bring some humour into the book and they succeed to give that typical sibling and family vibe. =)<br /><br />4.) <i>”Are you sure that’s a real spell?” said the girl. “Well, it’s not very good, is it? I’ve tried a few simple spells just for practice and it’s all worked for me.”</i><br /><br />When I read this I totally had the Hermione of the movie in my mind. Emma Watson played her so well and I’m really glad that Hermione came off her high horse. She was really insufferable at the beginning of the book. *lol* <br /><br />5.) <i>”You’ll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter. You don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.”</i><br /><br />Urgh! And so it begins! I never liked Malfoy and I’ll never do. Sorry, guys! Yes, I felt sorry for him after book 5 but he’s still a slimy little spoilt brat at the beginning of the series. Still, if his parents would have raised him differently he might have even turned out to be a nice guy. *sighs* <br /><br />6.) <i>”Let’s try again. Potter, where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?”</i><br /><br />And here comes another character I’ll never forgive. Snape is a horrible teacher and an even worse human being. There I said it. Nothing that happens over the course of the following books will change anything about the fact that he’s unfair and mean to his students! His past doesn’t excuse his actions. Still, I gotta give Rowling kudos for all the foreboding! Boy, alone the comment with the bezoar. XD And Dumbledore explaining the relationship between Snape and Harry’s father. Well done! ;-)<br /><br />7.) <i>”But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.”</i><br /><br />I still love that scene and I’m really glad Hermione and the others finally bonded. Also, I love that they tried to be good kids at the beginning. In the first book they actually don’t want to do anything forbidden and feel bad about it. Well, and then the other books happen. *LOL* Apparently practice makes perfect though, because they go for plenty of forbidden things but don’t get caught anymore. Haha! <br /><br />8.) <i>”All right, all right. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone, I’m sure, so a penalty to Gryffindor, taken by Spinnet, who puts it away, no trouble, and we continue play, Gryffindor still in possession.”</i><br /><br />Lee Jordan is the best! <3 He’s the main reason I enjoy the Quidditch games so much! His commentary is just funny and brilliant! <br /><br />9.) <i>”If I get caught before I can get to the Stone, well, I’ll have to go back to the Dursleys and wait for Voldemort to find me there. It’s only dying a bit later than I would have done, because I’m never going over to the Dark Side!”</i><br /><br />I LOVE HARRY’S DEFIANCE!!! That’s one of the many things that made me like him so much! He never backs down and always continues to fight. No matter the odds, he’s facing his troubles holding his head high! Even this early in the series you can already see that he’s going to be a great MC! <br /><br />And now let’s move on and read book two! ;-)</span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"></span><span tabindex="-1"></span></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">425 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">60 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

class="ReviewText"><section class="ReviewText__content" dir="auto"><div class="TruncatedContent" tabindex="-1"><div class="TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large" tabindex="-1" data-testid="contentContainer"><span class="Formatted">On my list of <b>reasons</b> why <b>my daughters</b> are the <b>bestest thing</b> to ever happen to me, <b>Number 14,577</b> is that they gave me, at <b>41 years old</b>, the perfect <b>excuse</b> to revisit the <b>Harry Potter</b> series. <br /><br />When my oldest angel told me she wanted to start reading the Harry Potter books, I couldn’t have been happier. As I was collecting all seven volumes off the shelf to bring up to her room, I started feeling nostalgic for the whole Hogwarts gang, and I realized that I’d never done more than a perfunctory review of this first volume. I figured it was high time to rectify that oversight.<br /><br />Harry deserves it. <br /><br />However, with over a million ratings, and almost two reviews for every day I’ve been alive, I think I can dispense with any plot distillation or character profiles. It has all been eloquently said before. Therefore, I just want to briefly express what I see as the essential magic at the heart of the series, and why I think it has resonated so strongly with so many people. <br /><br />Here goes...<br /><br />Only rarely does a story come along that can so completely wrap you up in a warm blanket of contentment and good feelings. One that can hold at bay, even if only for precious moments, the nasty brutishness of what often passes for daily life. These stories do that. <br /><br />It’s an escape into a world of optimism, honor, and hope, where things always look hopeful and anything is possible. Who wouldn't want to hang around in a place like that, especially when it is decorated with sorting hats, kindly giants, magic wands and Quidditch.<br /><br />Granted...no aspect of the story is revolutionary, or even particularly noteworthy, from the standpoint of blazing new trails within the fantasy genre. It isn’t great literature, and nothing about its technical merits makes it befitting of even a fraction of its unprecedented success. <br /><br />Fine...acknowledged. And? So what!<br /><br />The virtue of this story is the postive feelings it conjures in its readers. Harry’s story is something that radiates acceptance, inclusion, and friendship. It invokes a sense of belonging. Inside these pages, you can find the impetus to see the better angels of humanity’s nature, and feel just a little better about the world around you.<br /><br />How is that not worthy of praise?<br /><br />As for Harry himself, he’s just a good kid. The quintessential everyman who makes good. A loving boy with a clear head on his shoulders and a caring heart that pumps affection for the world around him. He’s someone you can’t help but like. <br /><br />He’s not perfect. He makes mistakes, he’s occasionally short sighted, and I know many of us wish he would stick up for himself a little more. Maybe reduce his aunt and uncle to a pair of fatty stains on the carpet, or give Dudley an atomic wedgie until his skivvies scrape against his pancreas. <br /><br />But that’s not Harry. He’s a better person than that. That’s why we love him. <br /><br />Maybe all of the above is a bit much. Like I said, I was feeling nostalgic and maybe the gush got a tad away from me. Let’s just say that these stories are perfect comfort food and reading them will make you happy. <br /><br />I’ll certainly settle for that. <br /><br />As for the rating, I Initially only gave this first volume 3 stars, and I’m not going to change that now. As much as I love the series as a whole, I don’t think it reaches stratospheric heights until <a href="https://goodreads.com/book/show/6.Harry_Potter_and_the_Goblet_of_Fire__Harry_Potter___4_" title="Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter, #4) by J.K. Rowling" rel="noopener">Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire</a>. <br /><br />Still, this is where it all began. As such, it should be read and savored knowing that it only gets better.<br /><br />3.0 stars. Highly Recommended. <br /></span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1413439?shelf=1990-1999" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">1990-1999</span></a><span tabindex="-1"> </span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1413439?shelf=comfort-food" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">comfort-food</span></a><span tabindex="-1"> </span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1413439?shelf=fantasy" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">fantasy</span></a></span><span tabindex="-1"></span> <div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium" aria-label="Show all items in the list"><span class="Button__labelItem">...more</span></button></div></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">411 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">47 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

There won't be a child in our world who doesn't know his name.❞</i> </blockquote><br /><br />Everyone grew up with Harry Potter. They read all the books when they were young and watched all the films. They would re-watch and re-read them. They would fall in love with the Wizarding World and would completely adore Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They would talk about them non stop, about Hogwarts, about its teachings, about them wanting to become students there and pretending they are, about joining the HP fandom, about loving every character and instantly missing the world. Everyone would adore Harry Potter and knew about it since they were young ones.<br /><br /><b>Except me.</b> <br /><br />I didn't grow up with Harry Potter. Not because I didn't get to, but because I chose not to. I know, it's like living a life where everything has been a lie. Worse even. It's just, the movies would appear on my tv. From the first one, to the next and the next, and every time I saw the trailer for the upcoming one, I wouldn't be interested and would skip it when I came to it. I wouldn't bother and wouldn't care, and that made a big problem in my life now. Here I am now, being left out because of such poor choices and decisions I made when I was 7, 8, 9, and older until now. But now, as 2016 and having over 500 friends that are caught up and have read the recently published novel, <i>Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,</i> I have finally read the first book and am able to continue the series and watch the films. Now, here I am, wishing to go back to my past and change this nightmare and actually watch the films or read the books because I have literally missed on so much, missed too much, and have been missing too much. I have been out of this world and never realized how good it is, and how special it already has become.<br /><br /><blockquote> <i>There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it.</i> </blockquote><br /><br /><i>Harry Potter</i> is one of the most famous, loved, and top series out there. It is loved, adored, cherished, and amazing for HP fans every time they read it. No matter how many times it is read, it fills the person's heart with warmth and happiness, as they are going back to the wizarding world. As for me, I have finally entered it and feel young and new and early to this, because I am new to this all.<br />Other than that, Harry Potter is considered a Children's book but in my opinion, it's in between middle grade and young adult because it can be hard to read for some. Although it was very very easy for me to read and understand, I see myself reading this all these years before and having a lot of trouble pronouncing some names. <br /><br />Harry Potter, a story about a young wizard that didn't even know he was a wizard. Harry Potter, a 10 year-old boy, who turned 11, is living with his horrible, rude and awful "family", The Dursleys. Mrs. Dursley is known as Harry Potter's mother's sister. The problem is, they didn't like each other, nor blend in with each other. They were different. Her sister was a witch, while she was just a Muggle, a person who cannot seek the magic and find it, nothing and no one special because they aren't able to turn things into other things, aren't able to fly on a broom, cast a robe on fire, defeat a villain, confuse a troll, aren't able to do anything, really. <br /><br />The reason for Harry living with this family and having to go trough all this trouble and mess is because he was actually given to them by Professor Albus Dumbledore, known as one of the greatest wizards and the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When Harry was a baby, his parents were killed by Everyone-Knows-Who but as he tried killing Harry, he really wasn't able to. His mother was killed because she was trying to stop him, but as he tried killing Harry, he couldn't bare to do it and left him a scar, the scar that has made Harry known and popular for surviving this evil person. Once saved and taken, the only people they can rely on are The Dursleys, and as Harry grows, they expect them to tell him he is a wizard and tell him everything and fix all the lies. Except they don't.<br /><br />As days pass, Harry has been getting letters from someone he doesn't know. He doesn't know who it is and what they want, but he knows there is something going on, due to the amount of letters being sent. After getting the chance to open the first one, his Uncle Vernon decides to snatch it away from him, read it, and burn it. He knows, he knows who it is and what they want, but he doesn't want Harry to know. But even with him burning letter by letter and collecting them all, letters keep arriving and arriving, until the person finally shows up face-to-face with The Dursleys and Harry on his 11th birthday.<br /><br />He's huge, introduced as a half-giant and half-human, known as Rubeus Hagrid. Hagrid is the one who tells Harry the truth, telling him he is a wizard, and a well-known one as well. He's got talent, and has some of the same abilities as his parents. One being a witch and the other being a wizard, Harry is known as a wizard as well. And as Hagrid tells him the truth, Harry does too. <b>He doesn't know what he is talking about and doesn't know what is going on.</b> He doesn't believe he is a wizard, and doesn't believe the reason for his parent's deaths. But of course, Hagrid decides to tell him the truth and tell him his parents did not die on a car crash, for that seemed impossible, but they were killed by Everyone-Knows-Who and is the reason for his scar.<br /><br />When Harry leaves with Hagrid, they go and buy him what he needs, including clothes and supplies for the school. As they go to the shop, he is introduced as Harry himself but is instantly known by everyone else. Everyone is pleased to meet him and feel proud because they have shaken his hand. He's famous, his name is everywhere, and he can be considered a legend for what happened. But even with all this going on, Harry is still a little confused and figuring things out. As Harry and Hagrid get what they need, it's time for Harry to go to school, where he meets Ron Weasley, as to what I know, one of his best friends. Ron is small, red-haired, has freckles, pale, and has two twin brothers going to Hogwarts with him. He's not accepted into the other groups, and that is why he blends in with Harry and becomes his friend. Harry also meets Hermione Granger, known as someone annoying and as a nightmare to them both because of how bossy and unrealistic she can be. Of course, they are all so small and Hermione is a little nerd that enjoys every teaching at this school, so I was just like "we get it." <br /><br />Days pass, and Harry is being trained. He's a neutral to broom-stick flying, is able to play Quidditch, the most popular game in Hogwarts, is given special supplies, and is of course, known by everyone. Other than that, Harry suspects his own secrets and wants to find out truths, but in order to do that, he must find a way to find them and figure them out. With the help of his two friends, he might just be able to figure out the real reason behind him being a wizard, more about his parents, history about himself, who this "You-Know-Who" person is, remember his past, and see how his life really will be changed, forever.<br /><br /><blockquote> <i>Humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.</i> </blockquote><br /><br />Harry Potter was easy to read, understand, and there was no hesitation when it came to rating it 5 stars. Now, I hate myself once again and ask myself, again, "Why did I not read this earlier?" The answer is obvious, because I already know it and it's because I was never a fan of it. I hate speaking about my past, but this is one ugly past and I hate it. I hate the choice I made and I hate myself for allowing it. But soon I'll get over it and will be able to re-read this as many times as I will be able to during my last 3 years of being a teen. Yes, a 15 year-old that has not read Harry Potter simply because she chose not to when she was able to and when she was young. <u>PATHETIC.</u><br /><br />The fantasy is cute, I will say. It's easy to understand and the book is easy to fly through. It's not long, it's not hard, and it's not boring. It's gripping, fun, and everything is filled with some kind of magical element that has me turning page by page. Having no regrets anywhere, I am finally able to talk about HP and the world of wizards, where students learn how to make potions, talk to ghosts, learn about other creatures, transform things into other things, read minds, become invisible, fly in the air with a broomstick, play soccer in the air, have a feast and enjoy it all, learn magic, have a wand, and just be filled with happiness because of the friends and families considered in the houses. Well, I guess in most.<br /><br />Everything was fun to read. I laughed at some parts and found the story to be more affective to me as Harry was figuring out his new and changed life. He was confused, but he found out a lot more. There's still more, but I know that as he grows, I will be able to follow along the late ass journey and see where he grows to and how. I'll see how strong he gets and find out some strengths and weakness'. I'll be able to join an invisible magic carpet and fly through the series because I just want to know what happens next and how everything goes. I want to see Harry become a better person and be able to prove Draco and his stupid friends wrong about what they think. I want his friendship with Ron to grow and become stronger. I want Hermione to stop being so talkative and take a little break of being so bossy. But more importantly, I want to have a fun journey reading this and feeling like I'm on an adventure. Reading it for the first time feels like one. I've never watched the films. I've watched parts, but skipped them. Now, I won't skip anything. It's like an adventure where I'm dived in and can't seem to leave because I'm so alive and intrigued.<br /><br />What can I say about Harry Potter that others have not said? Nothing. Reviews are always similar, and this one might be too. Everyone loves it, and so did I. Yes, I rolled my eyes at times because there were moments where I was annoyed. But nothing was boring, and even when I rolled my eyes, there was a reason for that eye rolling scene. Maybe it was Hermione being annoying, or Draco being a rude boy, mocking an adorable red-haired. Or both. But I was also laughing. I would always laugh when it came to Hagrid. Since the beginning, I instantly loved him and considered him hilarious. I love how he turned Dunley into a pig but failed because he was already too much of a pig. I remember laughing and noticing my parents looked at me weirdly, but that's okay because I needed a novel where I was happy and ended up laughing at times. Oh and also, Hagrid is honestly so nice and adorable guys, I love him. He's so funny and protective and is such a good friend to Harry. I loved everything he did for him and was glad he was the first one to introduce himself to Harry. He cared for him since he was a baby and saw him as 11, bring him a present and giving him another one at the end. <br /><br />Ron is honestly the cutest. I don't understand how anyone could be mean to him. He may be weak, but he has his own strengths. He's so adorable and small and I hated how Draco treated him. There were some times unnecessary and I hated Draco for it, but I'll probably end up loving Draco some time throughout the series and probably regret it because I know he's still gonna be really mean throughout the series. I'm sure. I haven't spoiled myself, so I have no idea how his or anyone else's life goes, but I do know that he changes in some way. Hermione is a small and cute nerd as well, but sometimes I hated how sassy she was and bossy. She hated losing points for her house and because she, Ron, and Harry were in the same house, they had to work together and find a way to become friends to find out other truths and earn points for Gryffindor. She took everything very serious and showed off at times because of her perfect test grades and assignments, but I was glad she was able to put up with Ron and Harry while they put up with her.<br /><br />The friendship between Harry, Ron and Hermione was probably one of my favorites. I know it didn't work out at first and they honestly hated her, but I was so happy it literally had to work toward the middle. Thanks to the troll, she became their friend and actually was able to cooperate with them. She didn't yell at them for fighting the troll, but instead told them to be careful and send word if anything goes wrong when Harry went for the mirror again. As it was ending, she was saying goodbye to Harry and Ron and was even awkward because she couldn't really figure out what to say. But also, my heart was really happy when she hugged Harry because it felt real and it felt like something I had been waiting since the beginning. It was friendship goals as they were becoming friends, and it just made me happy seeing them all together, same house, same team, same classes. <br /><br />The writing of course is, like I said, easy to understand. There were no words that were confusing in any way or words that got me mixed up because of how similar they sounded, and there were no problems. I didn't know what was gonna happen next and I know books are always better than movies, but I will watch the films after or after finishing one book just to see the differences. I hear they are kind of the same, just that the book provides some more information and detail. Like always, it's no surprise. <br /><br /><blockquote> <i>There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.</i> </blockquote><br /><br />Overall, I am so proud of myself for getting the first book over with, now wanting the 2nd and the 3rd and the rest. Really excited to see where this all goes to, and how Harry becomes a better wizard.</span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"></span><span tabindex="-1"></span></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">378 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">65 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

tabindex="-1"><div class="TruncatedContent__text TruncatedContent__text--large" tabindex="-1" data-testid="contentContainer"><span class="Formatted"><b>How can more than half of my Goodreads friends be wrong with this?</b><br /><br />I have to get this right. As of this writing, I have <b>98</b> Goodreads friends. <b>61 (62%)</b> of them have read J. K. Rowling's <i>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</i>. Out of those who read this, <b>39 (64%)</b> rated this with 5 stars. <b>11</b> of them with 4 stars. All the others gave 3 or 2. Only 2 rated this with 1 star. One of them admitted not being able to finish it. <s>She should not have rated it really since she did not read its entirety. (But she is my friend and it is her right, so why question?)</s><br /><br />When the book came out in 1998, I was not yet a bookworm so I brushed this aside. I read only those books that my brother told me to read. He was the bookworm but he would not be caught reading any book being pushed by media hype. However, when Warner Bros. released the film adaptation in 2001, my daughter was 6 years old and I thought that, since there was too much hype, the movie must be good and we would have a memorable time with our first ever father-daughter movie date. I was wrong. She not only got scared because of the darkness inside the movie house but she trembled with fear during the life-size human chess game, in that scene when Ron was sacrificed. We left the movie in that scene with my daughter crying and me cursing it: <i> <b>I will never read Harry Potter</b> </i>.<br /><br />My daughter is now 15 going 16. She is not fond of movies and she still does not show interest on reading Harry Potter. However, I am now a bookworm and the other week, I was with my 4 Goodreads friends and 3 of them raved (two of them, again) about Harry Potter books. Oh well, first-time fathers can make mistakes about first movie date with their daughters, Book 1 is included in 500 Must Read Books and the book must be a quick read. So the following day, I bought my copy.<br /><br />After 13 years of the book's existence and me ignoring it, did I finally make a good decision of reading it? Are all of those 39 friends of mine in Goodreads wrong in giving this 5 stars? Most of them did not bother writing a review. Maybe those would be too long or maybe they read this when they were not in Goodreads yet. But I am in Goodreads already so I can make this review long.<br /><br />These are what some of them say:<blockquote> <i><b>it was a great book <br />i enjoyed reading it</b></i></blockquote> For an eloquent reviewer, she must have been too happy to express herself. <blockquote> <i><b>Such a great story and creative way of writing. I love Harry Potter.</b> </i></blockquote> Yes, I agree about the story being great and J. K. Rowling being creative. <blockquote> <i><b>I was secretly wishing I was studying in Hogwarts too! It was silly, but I was simply enraptured by Harry Potter. Honestly, I still am :) It was a great book. I enjoyed reading it</b></i></blockquote> Coming from one of my favorite reviewers in Goodreads. I do not share her wanting to be a sorcerer though. <blockquote> <i><b>Honestly, I don't know anybody who'd refuse to even entertain the thought of attending a school for wizards.</b></i></blockquote> Another one of my favorite reviewers. That seems to have nailed this. Young people wanting to be in Hogwarts and study sorcery. That should be it! The world seems to be a dreadful place that we would all like to have powers to turn our enemies into frogs, pigs, ride on a broomstick and get the Snitch and earn points (money) for our family!<br /><br />Oh well, the Bible says that sorcery is Satan's work. The book even used the word Transfiguration as a subject in the sorcery school. Blasphemy.<br /><br />Just kidding. This is a work of fiction and I am not too old to appreciate it. I was just kidding. To be frank, I tried hard not to like this. I thought that giving this a 1 or 2 will freak out my friends and somehow get votes from those who are, up to now, ignoring this book. <i>I told you so! Why waste your time? </i>. However, unless you are a grumpy old man/woman, there is nothing not to like about this book. I maybe too old for it but hey, talent is talent and J. K. Rowling <i>has</i> it!<br /><br />My 39 friends are indeed right!</span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2156200?shelf=501" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">501</span></a><span tabindex="-1"> </span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2156200?shelf=childrens" class="Button Button--tag Button--medium"><span class="Button__labelItem">childrens</span></a></span><span tabindex="-1"></span></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">373 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">115 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

Philosopher's Stone (Harry Potter, #1) by J.K. Rowling" rel="noopener">Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone</a>) / ITALIANO<br><br><br><p>Let me dream.</p><p>I'm reading for the first time this book to my daughter (6 years old), but for me (37 years old) it's the third time I read "Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone". Everyone should read this book, if only to realize why the phenomenon "Harry Potter" has spread. With an essential and enjoyable style, <a href="https://goodreads.com/author/show/1077326.J_K__Rowling" title="J.K. Rowling" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a> catapults the reader into a fantasy world, populated by wizards and flying broomsticks, unicorns and talking hats. A world where even the most complicated topics, such as the death, are treated with delicate gentleness. </p><blockquote>«After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure»</blockquote> words of Albus Dumbledore, the master of life and the most charismatic character of the universe created by Rowling. An universe where your worst misfortune is to be a non-magical, a sad "<i>muggle</i>" who will never be able to see the platform nine and three quarters.<p>Let me dream.</p><p>Vote: 10</p><br><img src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1498029067i/23081652._SX540_.jpg" width="420" height="316" alt="description" class="gr-hostedUserImg" loading="lazy"><br><br><p>Lasciatemi sognare.</p><p>Mentre leggo per la prima volta a mia figlia (6 anni) questo volume, personalmente (37 anni) sono alla terza rilettura di "Harry Potter e la Pietra Filosofale". Tutti dovrebbero leggere questo libro, quantomeno per rendersi conto del perché si sia diffuso il fenomeno "Harry Potter". Con uno stile godibilissimo ed essenziale <a href="https://goodreads.com/author/show/1077326.J_K__Rowling" title="J.K. Rowling" rel="noopener">J.K. Rowling</a> catapulta il lettore in un mondo fantastico, popolato da maghi e scope volanti, unicorni e cappelli parlanti. Un mondo dove perfino i temi più complicati come la morte vengono trattati con delicata leggerezza. </p><blockquote>«In fin dei conti, per una mente ben organizzata, la morte non è che una nuova, grande avventura»</blockquote> ci dice Silente, il maestro di vita, la figura più carismatica dell'universo creato dalla Rowling. Un universo dove la sfortuna più grande è quella di essere un non magico, un triste "<i>babbano</i>" che non sarà mai in grado di vedere il binario nove e tre quarti.<p>Lasciatemi sognare.</p><p>Voto: 10</p></span></div><div class=""></div></div></section></section><section class="ReviewCard__tags"><ul class="CollapsableList"><span tabindex="-1"></span><span tabindex="-1"></span></ul></section><footer class="SocialFooter"><div data-testid="stats" class="SocialFooter__statsContainer"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">354 likes</span></button></div><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium Button--subdued"><span class="Button__labelItem">17 comments</span></button></div></div><div data-testid="actions"><div class="SocialFooter__action"><div class="Button__container"><button type="button" class="Button Button--inline Button--medium" aria-label="Review unliked.

Rowling\u003c/b\u003e, pronounced like \u003ci\u003erolling\u003c/i\u003e, her name when her first \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c/i\u003e book was published was simply \u003cb\u003eJoanne Rowling\u003c/b\u003e. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose \u003cb\u003eK\u003c/b\u003e as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. She calls herself \u003cb\u003eJo\u003c/b\u003e and has said, \"No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry.\" Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name \u003cb\u003eJoanne Murray\u003c/b\u003e when conducting personal business. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of \u003cb\u003eJoanne Kathleen Rowling\u003c/b\u003e. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eRowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. They married on 14 March 1965. Her mother's maternal grandfather, Dugald Campbell, was born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Her mother's paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eRowling's sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. The family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when Rowling was four. She attended St Michael's Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More. Her headmaster at St Michael's, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration for the \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c/i\u003e headmaster Albus Dumbledore.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAs a child, Rowling often wrote fantasy stories, which she would usually then read to her sister. She recalls that: \"I can still remember me telling her a story in which she fell down a rabbit hole and was fed strawberries by the rabbit family inside it. Certainly the first story I ever wrote down (when I was five or six) was about a rabbit called Rabbit. He got the measles and was visited by his friends, including a giant bee called Miss Bee.\" At the age of nine, Rowling moved to Church Cottage in the Gloucestershire village of Tutshill, close to Chepstow, Wales. When she was a young teenager, her great aunt, who Rowling said \"taught classics and approved of a thirst for knowledge, even of a questionable kind,\" gave her a very old copy of Jessica Mitford's autobiography, \u003ci\u003eHons and Rebels\u003c/i\u003e. Mitford became Rowling's heroine, and Rowling subsequently read all of her books.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eRowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, \"I wasn’t particularly happy. I think it’s a dreadful time of life.\" She had a difficult homelife; her mother was ill and she had a difficult relationship with her father (she is no longer on speaking terms with him). She attended secondary school at Wyedean School and College, where her mother had worked as a technician in the science department. Rowling said of her adolescence, \"Hermione [a bookish, know-it-all \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c/i\u003e character] is loosely based on me. She's a caricature of me when I was eleven, which I'm not particularly proud of.\" Steve Eddy, who taught Rowling English when she first arrived, remembers her as \"not exceptional\" but \"one of a group of girls who were bright, and quite good at English.\" Sean Harris, her best friend in the Upper Sixth owned a turquoise Ford Anglia, which she says inspired the one in her books.","isGrAuthor":false,"works":{"__typename":"ContributorWorksConnection","totalCount":554},"profileImageUrl":"https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1596216614i/1077326._UX200_CR0,15,200,200_.jpg","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1077326.J_K_Rowling","user":null,"viewerIsFollowing":null,"followers":{"__typename":"ContributorFollowersConnection","totalCount":230196}},"Contributor:kca://author/amzn1.gr.author.v1.rk99iyAlhy_I2px1S6jbBg":{"id":"kca://author/amzn1.gr.author.v1.rk99iyAlhy_I2px1S6jbBg","__typename":"Contributor","name":"Olly Moss","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6458971.Olly_Moss","isGrAuthor":false},"Series:kca://series/amzn1.gr.series.v1.jLkf1XgX-6y1x2Fd67g3Vw":{"id":"kca://series/amzn1.gr.series.v1.jLkf1XgX-6y1x2Fd67g3Vw","__typename":"Series","title":"Harry Potter","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/series/45175-harry-potter"},"Book:kca://book/amzn1.gr.book.v1.W9sTbi1u3mpuwB7AHz8Xbw":{"id":"kca://book/amzn1.gr.book.v1.W9sTbi1u3mpuwB7AHz8Xbw","__typename":"Book","legacyId":42844155,"webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42844155-harry-potter-and-the-sorcerer-s-stone","title":"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone","titleComplete":"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (Harry Potter, #1)","description":"\u003ci\u003eAn alternative cover for this ASIN can be found \u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28942631-harry-potter-and-the-sorcerer-s-stone\"\u003ehere\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.\"\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHarry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive.

If I try to put myself in the place of an editor picking this manuscript from the pile I can say with some certainty that I would not have recognized it as the ticket to a multi-billion dollar prize. I would have thought to myself that it was a good fun read, revisiting the magic-school trope and doing a fine job for children in the 8 to 12 range. If I hadn't had anything better land on my desk I might have published it, but then again, like quite a number of publishers, I might have passed in favour of a book I liked better.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eI read this maybe 15 years back so I could share in what was exciting my three kids at the time. And I've read it twice to my daughter, Celyn. We read the first 5 some years back, and now she's 12 we're going to read the whole lot.

I have no idea why it has sold a gazzilion copies more than any other children's book or why so many adults are so taken with it. JKR writes solid enough prose, though her addiction to adverbs in dialogue tags irks me no end, he said testily. She writes a fun and inventive story, though the internal inconsistencies would have distressed me even as a child. Why do the finest wizards in the land leave a great treasure guarded only by a series of puzzles rather than actual defences? If in the final scenes the puzzle poem hadn't been left to give the solution to the potion test ... or the key hadn't been left in the same room as the door that wouldn't yield to magic ... would that not have been a better way to defend the treasure? Yes ... it was more fun this way, but ... dammit ... kids aren't stupid...\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eBut yes, funny and inventive magic, school dynamics of making friends and enemies, the hijinx, the evil baddie, the chosen one... it's all good.

That the random gift of magical ability somehow makes you better.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eI remember that later on (and hinted at in this book) the idea of mud-bloods (wizards born of muggles) is offered up as a proxy for racism and we're invited to condemn Draco Malfoy for his views (rightly so).

When I was a kid my Mom would take me to the mall and I would spend tons of time hanging out at Waldenbooks (who here remembers Waldenbooks?) Right when I became legally old enough to work, I went in and submitted my application and a few weeks later I was selling literature to the masses.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWhy do I tell you this story on this review, you ask? Well, at the time, young adult/teen literature consisted mainly of RL Stein, Christopher Pike, Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, and a few other classic Newberry Award winners, but certainly we did not have a YA section to the extent you see it today.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eTowards the end of my tenure at Waldenbooks - as Oprah's book club was hitting its stride and Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus was in its bazzilionth week on the New York Times best seller list - a book display arrived featuring a buzzy new title about a certain boy wizard. I remember the display at the front of the store, and selling a few copies, but I didn't realize what it would become.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eA few years later (early 2000s), I had kinda gotten out of the loop on what was big in books. I had just finished college, which had taken up most of my free reading time. A friend of mine named Bronco (yup, real name, not a nickname, who also was the Best Man at my wedding) had a copy of this book on his coffee table. Holy cow! Here is that same book we were selling at Waldenbooks about 5 years before - what was he doing with it!?\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWell, he said it was good, so I borrowed it. I quickly plowed through the first 4 books and then got the pleasure of joining the world in waiting for the release of Order of the Phoenix. And, I noticed when I went to the bookstore, the YA section and selection was not so small anymore. I truly believe it was Harry Potter that opened the door to get more young adults (and even adults, of course) reading and authors interested in writing for that genre.","rating":5,"shelving":{"__typename":"Shelving","shelf":{"__typename":"Shelf","name":"read","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16254355?shelf=read"},"taggings":[{"__typename":"Tagging","tag":{"__typename":"Tag","name":"fantasy","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16254355?shelf=fantasy"}},{"__typename":"Tagging","tag":{"__typename":"Tag","name":"own","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16254355?shelf=own"}},{"__typename":"Tagging","tag":{"__typename":"Tag","name":"series","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16254355?shelf=series"}},{"__typename":"Tagging","tag":{"__typename":"Tag","name":"young-adult","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16254355?shelf=young-adult"}},{"__typename":"Tagging","tag":{"__typename":"Tag","name":"2021","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16254355?shelf=2021"}},{"__typename":"Tagging","tag":{"__typename":"Tag","name":"2020","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16254355?shelf=2020"}},{"__typename":"Tagging","tag":{"__typename":"Tag","name":"read-more-than-once","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16254355?shelf=read-more-than-once"}},{"__typename":"Tagging","tag":{"__typename":"Tag","name":"read-with-kids","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16254355?shelf=read-with-kids"}}],"webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/500800588"},"likeCount":1462,"viewerHasLiked":null,"commentCount":244},"User:4632071":{"id":4632071,"__typename":"User","legacyId":4632071,"imageUrlSquare":"https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/users/1305237530i/4632071._UY200_CR33,0,200,200_.jpg","isAuthor":false,"textReviewsCount":186,"viewerRelationshipStatus":null,"name":"Lora","webUrl":"https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4632071-lora","contributor":null,"followersCount":1021},"Review:kca://review:goodreads/amzn1.gr.review:goodreads.v1.Hws5UCOBN4QTfhKnGP1GDw":{"id":"kca://review:goodreads/amzn1.gr.review:goodreads.v1.Hws5UCOBN4QTfhKnGP1GDw","__typename":"Review","creator":{"__ref":"User:4632071"},"recommendFor":"anyone who is still waiting to read it","updatedAt":1491986910631,"createdAt":1307130020000,"spoilerStatus":false,"lastRevisionAt":1440084959000,"text":"I'm going to keep this brief since there isn't much to say that hasn't already been said. *clears throat*\u003cbr /\u003eI think the reason I waited so long to read this series is because I just couldn't imagine myself enjoying reading about an eleven-year-old boy and his adventures at a school of wizardry.

Initially, when I read it, I devoured it in two days. Now that I am old, well as old as Megan Fox, I wanted to hate on the author but couldn't.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eJK Rowling makes writing look easy. Her prose is easy to read out loud, very smooth. Although the world that she has created is magical, it isn't confusing or that difficult to imagine unlike LOTR or Dune. The book is also incredibly fast paced. Many of the fantasy books that I have read have at least 100 pages to warm up. So how does the author make us want to root or cheer for Harry? How do we become invested in him? He is an orphan and an abused orphan at that. On the one hand, this formula definitely works, but isn't it a little over done? JK Rowling also sets up some beautiful scenes like when Harry is receiving his invitation to Hogwarts. How many people actually try that hard? When Ron and Harry discover that Hermione is in danger, they both go to assist her. However, most people these days would go, \"Oh well.\" Sorry my INFJ is showing.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThere were a few things that I didn't like:\u003cbr /\u003e*Why does JK Rowling hate cats? Mr Dursley sees something odd, a cat reading a map. My cats play chess, play the piano, watch TV, and once even typed \"hi\" on my computer. I don't find reading a map to be a bit strange at all. Maybe my house is just brimming with magic and as a muggle I just don't know about it? Mrs. Figg also made Harry look at photographs of all of the cats that she has ever owned. As if that is some sort of punishment!\u003cbr /\u003e*How Hermione is treated. When Ron and Harry are in trouble, Ron screams at her, \"Have you gone mad? Are you a witch or not?\" Um Ron, if you treat me like, you can save yourself. At the end of the book, Hermione is never fully rewarded for her portion in saving Ron and Harry, just figuring out the riddle. Even after she was a better person than I.\u003cbr /\u003e*Quidditch and chess - not really my thing although this opened up a brilliant line of merchandising for the author.\u003cbr /\u003e*Some things didn't make sense to me.

Hermione and Ron are fun characters and I might have enjoyed the book more if they had been the main protagonists. Downsides: I cringed at the excessive fatphobia, anti-semitism, and the turban part. I also didn't like that the final action of the book got skipped over quickly by having a fade-to-black moment and then a lengthy explanation told by one of the side characters.

The Harry Potter epiphenomenon will go on, doubtless for some time, as J. R. R. Tolkien did, and then wane.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe official newspaper of our dominant counter-culture, The New York Times, has been startled by the Potter books into establishing a new policy for its not very literate book review. Rather than crowd out the Grishams, Clancys, Crichtons, Kings, and other vastly popular prose fictions on its fiction bestseller list, the Potter volumes will now lead a separate children's list. J. K. Rowling, the chronicler of Harry Potter, thus has an unusual distinction: She has changed the policy of the policy-maker.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eImaginative Vision\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eI read new children's literature, when I can find some of any value, but had not tried Rowling until now. I have just concluded the 300 pages of the first book in the series, \"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,\" purportedly the best of the lot. Though the book is not well written, that is not in itself a crucial liability. It is much better to see the movie, \"The Wizard of Oz,\" than to read the book upon which it was based, but even the book possessed an authentic imaginative vision. \"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone\" does not, so that one needs to look elsewhere for the book's (and its sequels') remarkable success. Such speculation should follow an account of how and why Harry Potter asks to be read.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe ultimate model for Harry Potter is \"Tom Brown's School Days\" by Thomas Hughes, published in 1857. The book depicts the Rugby School presided over by the formidable Thomas Arnold, remembered now primarily as the father of Matthew Arnold, the Victorian critic-poet. But Hughes' book, still quite readable, was realism, not fantasy. Rowling has taken \"Tom Brown's School Days\" and re-seen it in the magical mirror of Tolkein. The resultant blend of a schoolboy ethos with a liberation from the constraints of reality-testing may read oddly to me, but is exactly what millions of children and their parents desire and welcome at this time.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eIn what follows, I may at times indicate some of the inadequacies of \"Harry Potter.\" But I will keep in mind that a host are reading it who simply will not read superior fare, such as Kenneth Grahame's \"The Wind in the Willows\" or the \"Alice\" books of Lewis Carroll. Is it better that they read Rowling than not read at all? Will they advance from Rowling to more difficult pleasures?\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eRowling presents two Englands, mundane and magical, divided not by social classes, but by the distinction between the \"perfectly normal\" (mean and selfish) and the adherents of sorcery. The sorcerers indeed seem as middle-class as the Muggles, the name the witches and wizards give to the common sort, since those addicted to magic send their sons and daughters off to Hogwarts, a Rugby school where only witchcraft and wizardry are taught. Hogwarts is presided over by Albus Dumbeldore as Headmaster, he being Rowling's version of Tolkein's Gandalf. The young future sorcerers are just like any other budding Britons, only more so, sports and food being primary preoccupations. (Sex barely enters into Rowling's cosmos, at least in the first volume.)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e----------------------------\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe first half of a little piece I wrote from the \u003ci\u003eJournal\u003c/i\u003e in July 2000.

I figured it was high time to rectify that oversight.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHarry deserves it. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHowever, with over a million ratings, and almost two reviews for every day I’ve been alive, I think I can dispense with any plot distillation or character profiles. It has all been eloquently said before. Therefore, I just want to briefly express what I see as the essential magic at the heart of the series, and why I think it has resonated so strongly with so many people. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHere goes...\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eOnly rarely does a story come along that can so completely wrap you up in a warm blanket of contentment and good feelings. One that can hold at bay, even if only for precious moments, the nasty brutishness of what often passes for daily life. These stories do that. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eIt’s an escape into a world of optimism, honor, and hope, where things always look hopeful and anything is possible. Who wouldn't want to hang around in a place like that, especially when it is decorated with sorting hats, kindly giants, magic wands and Quidditch.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eGranted...no aspect of the story is revolutionary, or even particularly noteworthy, from the standpoint of blazing new trails within the fantasy genre. It isn’t great literature, and nothing about its technical merits makes it befitting of even a fraction of its unprecedented success. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eFine...acknowledged. And? So what!\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe virtue of this story is the postive feelings it conjures in its readers. Harry’s story is something that radiates acceptance, inclusion, and friendship. It invokes a sense of belonging. Inside these pages, you can find the impetus to see the better angels of humanity’s nature, and feel just a little better about the world around you.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHow is that not worthy of praise?\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAs for Harry himself, he’s just a good kid. The quintessential everyman who makes good. A loving boy with a clear head on his shoulders and a caring heart that pumps affection for the world around him. He’s someone you can’t help but like. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHe’s not perfect. He makes mistakes, he’s occasionally short sighted, and I know many of us wish he would stick up for himself a little more. Maybe reduce his aunt and uncle to a pair of fatty stains on the carpet, or give Dudley an atomic wedgie until his skivvies scrape against his pancreas. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eBut that’s not Harry. He’s a better person than that. That’s why we love him. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eMaybe all of the above is a bit much. Like I said, I was feeling nostalgic and maybe the gush got a tad away from me. Let’s just say that these stories are perfect comfort food and reading them will make you happy. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eI’ll certainly settle for that. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAs for the rating, I Initially only gave this first volume 3 stars, and I’m not going to change that now. As much as I love the series as a whole, I don’t think it reaches stratospheric heights until \u003ca href=\"https://goodreads.com/book/show/6.Harry_Potter_and_the_Goblet_of_Fire__Harry_Potter___4_\" title=\"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter, #4) by J.K.

They would fall in love with the Wizarding World and would completely adore Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They would talk about them non stop, about Hogwarts, about its teachings, about them wanting to become students there and pretending they are, about joining the HP fandom, about loving every character and instantly missing the world. Everyone would adore Harry Potter and knew about it since they were young ones.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cb\u003eExcept me.\u003c/b\u003e \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eI didn't grow up with Harry Potter. Not because I didn't get to, but because I chose not to. I know, it's like living a life where everything has been a lie. Worse even. It's just, the movies would appear on my tv. From the first one, to the next and the next, and every time I saw the trailer for the upcoming one, I wouldn't be interested and would skip it when I came to it. I wouldn't bother and wouldn't care, and that made a big problem in my life now. Here I am now, being left out because of such poor choices and decisions I made when I was 7, 8, 9, and older until now. But now, as 2016 and having over 500 friends that are caught up and have read the recently published novel, \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter and the Cursed Child,\u003c/i\u003e I have finally read the first book and am able to continue the series and watch the films. Now, here I am, wishing to go back to my past and change this nightmare and actually watch the films or read the books because I have literally missed on so much, missed too much, and have been missing too much. I have been out of this world and never realized how good it is, and how special it already has become.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n \u003ci\u003eThere is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it.\u003c/i\u003e\n\u003c/blockquote\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarry Potter\u003c/i\u003e is one of the most famous, loved, and top series out there. It is loved, adored, cherished, and amazing for HP fans every time they read it. No matter how many times it is read, it fills the person's heart with warmth and happiness, as they are going back to the wizarding world. As for me, I have finally entered it and feel young and new and early to this, because I am new to this all.\u003cbr /\u003eOther than that, Harry Potter is considered a Children's book but in my opinion, it's in between middle grade and young adult because it can be hard to read for some. Although it was very very easy for me to read and understand, I see myself reading this all these years before and having a lot of trouble pronouncing some names. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHarry Potter, a story about a young wizard that didn't even know he was a wizard. Harry Potter, a 10 year-old boy, who turned 11, is living with his horrible, rude and awful \"family\", The Dursleys. Mrs. Dursley is known as Harry Potter's mother's sister. The problem is, they didn't like each other, nor blend in with each other. They were different. Her sister was a witch, while she was just a Muggle, a person who cannot seek the magic and find it, nothing and no one special because they aren't able to turn things into other things, aren't able to fly on a broom, cast a robe on fire, defeat a villain, confuse a troll, aren't able to do anything, really. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe reason for Harry living with this family and having to go trough all this trouble and mess is because he was actually given to them by Professor Albus Dumbledore, known as one of the greatest wizards and the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When Harry was a baby, his parents were killed by Everyone-Knows-Who but as he tried killing Harry, he really wasn't able to. His mother was killed because she was trying to stop him, but as he tried killing Harry, he couldn't bare to do it and left him a scar, the scar that has made Harry known and popular for surviving this evil person. Once saved and taken, the only people they can rely on are The Dursleys, and as Harry grows, they expect them to tell him he is a wizard and tell him everything and fix all the lies. Except they don't.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAs days pass, Harry has been getting letters from someone he doesn't know. He doesn't know who it is and what they want, but he knows there is something going on, due to the amount of letters being sent. After getting the chance to open the first one, his Uncle Vernon decides to snatch it away from him, read it, and burn it. He knows, he knows who it is and what they want, but he doesn't want Harry to know. But even with him burning letter by letter and collecting them all, letters keep arriving and arriving, until the person finally shows up face-to-face with The Dursleys and Harry on his 11th birthday.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHe's huge, introduced as a half-giant and half-human, known as Rubeus Hagrid. Hagrid is the one who tells Harry the truth, telling him he is a wizard, and a well-known one as well. He's got talent, and has some of the same abilities as his parents. One being a witch and the other being a wizard, Harry is known as a wizard as well. And as Hagrid tells him the truth, Harry does too. \u003cb\u003eHe doesn't know what he is talking about and doesn't know what is going on.\u003c/b\u003e He doesn't believe he is a wizard, and doesn't believe the reason for his parent's deaths. But of course, Hagrid decides to tell him the truth and tell him his parents did not die on a car crash, for that seemed impossible, but they were killed by Everyone-Knows-Who and is the reason for his scar.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWhen Harry leaves with Hagrid, they go and buy him what he needs, including clothes and supplies for the school. As they go to the shop, he is introduced as Harry himself but is instantly known by everyone else. Everyone is pleased to meet him and feel proud because they have shaken his hand. He's famous, his name is everywhere, and he can be considered a legend for what happened. But even with all this going on, Harry is still a little confused and figuring things out. As Harry and Hagrid get what they need, it's time for Harry to go to school, where he meets Ron Weasley, as to what I know, one of his best friends. Ron is small, red-haired, has freckles, pale, and has two twin brothers going to Hogwarts with him. He's not accepted into the other groups, and that is why he blends in with Harry and becomes his friend. Harry also meets Hermione Granger, known as someone annoying and as a nightmare to them both because of how bossy and unrealistic she can be. Of course, they are all so small and Hermione is a little nerd that enjoys every teaching at this school, so I was just like \"we get it.\" \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eDays pass, and Harry is being trained. He's a neutral to broom-stick flying, is able to play Quidditch, the most popular game in Hogwarts, is given special supplies, and is of course, known by everyone. Other than that, Harry suspects his own secrets and wants to find out truths, but in order to do that, he must find a way to find them and figure them out. With the help of his two friends, he might just be able to figure out the real reason behind him being a wizard, more about his parents, history about himself, who this \"You-Know-Who\" person is, remember his past, and see how his life really will be changed, forever.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n \u003ci\u003eHumans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.\u003c/i\u003e\n\u003c/blockquote\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHarry Potter was easy to read, understand, and there was no hesitation when it came to rating it 5 stars. Now, I hate myself once again and ask myself, again, \"Why did I not read this earlier?\" The answer is obvious, because I already know it and it's because I was never a fan of it. I hate speaking about my past, but this is one ugly past and I hate it. I hate the choice I made and I hate myself for allowing it. But soon I'll get over it and will be able to re-read this as many times as I will be able to during my last 3 years of being a teen. Yes, a 15 year-old that has not read Harry Potter simply because she chose not to when she was able to and when she was young. \u003cu\u003ePATHETIC.\u003c/u\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe fantasy is cute, I will say. It's easy to understand and the book is easy to fly through. It's not long, it's not hard, and it's not boring. It's gripping, fun, and everything is filled with some kind of magical element that has me turning page by page. Having no regrets anywhere, I am finally able to talk about HP and the world of wizards, where students learn how to make potions, talk to ghosts, learn about other creatures, transform things into other things, read minds, become invisible, fly in the air with a broomstick, play soccer in the air, have a feast and enjoy it all, learn magic, have a wand, and just be filled with happiness because of the friends and families considered in the houses. Well, I guess in most.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eEverything was fun to read. I laughed at some parts and found the story to be more affective to me as Harry was figuring out his new and changed life. He was confused, but he found out a lot more. There's still more, but I know that as he grows, I will be able to follow along the late ass journey and see where he grows to and how. I'll see how strong he gets and find out some strengths and weakness'. I'll be able to join an invisible magic carpet and fly through the series because I just want to know what happens next and how everything goes. I want to see Harry become a better person and be able to prove Draco and his stupid friends wrong about what they think. I want his friendship with Ron to grow and become stronger. I want Hermione to stop being so talkative and take a little break of being so bossy. But more importantly, I want to have a fun journey reading this and feeling like I'm on an adventure. Reading it for the first time feels like one. I've never watched the films. I've watched parts, but skipped them. Now, I won't skip anything. It's like an adventure where I'm dived in and can't seem to leave because I'm so alive and intrigued.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWhat can I say about Harry Potter that others have not said? Nothing. Reviews are always similar, and this one might be too. Everyone loves it, and so did I. Yes, I rolled my eyes at times because there were moments where I was annoyed. But nothing was boring, and even when I rolled my eyes, there was a reason for that eye rolling scene. Maybe it was Hermione being annoying, or Draco being a rude boy, mocking an adorable red-haired. Or both. But I was also laughing. I would always laugh when it came to Hagrid. Since the beginning, I instantly loved him and considered him hilarious. I love how he turned Dunley into a pig but failed because he was already too much of a pig. I remember laughing and noticing my parents looked at me weirdly, but that's okay because I needed a novel where I was happy and ended up laughing at times. Oh and also, Hagrid is honestly so nice and adorable guys, I love him. He's so funny and protective and is such a good friend to Harry. I loved everything he did for him and was glad he was the first one to introduce himself to Harry. He cared for him since he was a baby and saw him as 11, bring him a present and giving him another one at the end. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eRon is honestly the cutest. I don't understand how anyone could be mean to him. He may be weak, but he has his own strengths. He's so adorable and small and I hated how Draco treated him. There were some times unnecessary and I hated Draco for it, but I'll probably end up loving Draco some time throughout the series and probably regret it because I know he's still gonna be really mean throughout the series. I'm sure. I haven't spoiled myself, so I have no idea how his or anyone else's life goes, but I do know that he changes in some way. Hermione is a small and cute nerd as well, but sometimes I hated how sassy she was and bossy. She hated losing points for her house and because she, Ron, and Harry were in the same house, they had to work together and find a way to become friends to find out other truths and earn points for Gryffindor. She took everything very serious and showed off at times because of her perfect test grades and assignments, but I was glad she was able to put up with Ron and Harry while they put up with her.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe friendship between Harry, Ron and Hermione was probably one of my favorites. I know it didn't work out at first and they honestly hated her, but I was so happy it literally had to work toward the middle. Thanks to the troll, she became their friend and actually was able to cooperate with them. She didn't yell at them for fighting the troll, but instead told them to be careful and send word if anything goes wrong when Harry went for the mirror again. As it was ending, she was saying goodbye to Harry and Ron and was even awkward because she couldn't really figure out what to say. But also, my heart was really happy when she hugged Harry because it felt real and it felt like something I had been waiting since the beginning. It was friendship goals as they were becoming friends, and it just made me happy seeing them all together, same house, same team, same classes. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe writing of course is, like I said, easy to understand. There were no words that were confusing in any way or words that got me mixed up because of how similar they sounded, and there were no problems. I didn't know what was gonna happen next and I know books are always better than movies, but I will watch the films after or after finishing one book just to see the differences. I hear they are kind of the same, just that the book provides some more information and detail. Like always, it's no surprise. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n \u003ci\u003eThere are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.\u003c/i\u003e\n\u003c/blockquote\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eOverall, I am so proud of myself for getting the first book over with, now wanting the 2nd and the 3rd and the rest.

As of this writing, I have \u003cb\u003e98\u003c/b\u003e Goodreads friends. \u003cb\u003e61 (62%)\u003c/b\u003e of them have read J. K. Rowling's \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone\u003c/i\u003e. Out of those who read this, \u003cb\u003e39 (64%)\u003c/b\u003e rated this with 5 stars. \u003cb\u003e11\u003c/b\u003e of them with 4 stars. All the others gave 3 or 2. Only 2 rated this with 1 star. One of them admitted not being able to finish it. \u003cs\u003eShe should not have rated it really since she did not read its entirety. (But she is my friend and it is her right, so why question?)\u003c/s\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWhen the book came out in 1998, I was not yet a bookworm so I brushed this aside. I read only those books that my brother told me to read. He was the bookworm but he would not be caught reading any book being pushed by media hype. However, when Warner Bros. released the film adaptation in 2001, my daughter was 6 years old and I thought that, since there was too much hype, the movie must be good and we would have a memorable time with our first ever father-daughter movie date. I was wrong. She not only got scared because of the darkness inside the movie house but she trembled with fear during the life-size human chess game, in that scene when Ron was sacrificed. We left the movie in that scene with my daughter crying and me cursing it: \u003ci\u003e\n \u003cb\u003eI will never read Harry Potter\u003c/b\u003e\n\u003c/i\u003e.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eMy daughter is now 15 going 16. She is not fond of movies and she still does not show interest on reading Harry Potter. However, I am now a bookworm and the other week, I was with my 4 Goodreads friends and 3 of them raved (two of them, again) about Harry Potter books. Oh well, first-time fathers can make mistakes about first movie date with their daughters, Book 1 is included in 500 Must Read Books and the book must be a quick read. So the following day, I bought my copy.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAfter 13 years of the book's existence and me ignoring it, did I finally make a good decision of reading it? Are all of those 39 friends of mine in Goodreads wrong in giving this 5 stars? Most of them did not bother writing a review. Maybe those would be too long or maybe they read this when they were not in Goodreads yet. But I am in Goodreads already so I can make this review long.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThese are what some of them say:\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eit was a great book \u003cbr /\u003ei enjoyed reading it\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/blockquote\u003e For an eloquent reviewer, she must have been too happy to express herself. \u003cblockquote\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuch a great story and creative way of writing. I love Harry Potter.\u003c/b\u003e \u003c/i\u003e\u003c/blockquote\u003e Yes, I agree about the story being great and J. K. Rowling being creative. \u003cblockquote\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eI was secretly wishing I was studying in Hogwarts too! It was silly, but I was simply enraptured by Harry Potter. Honestly, I still am :) It was a great book. I enjoyed reading it\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/blockquote\u003e Coming from one of my favorite reviewers in Goodreads. I do not share her wanting to be a sorcerer though. \u003cblockquote\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eHonestly, I don't know anybody who'd refuse to even entertain the thought of attending a school for wizards.\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/blockquote\u003e Another one of my favorite reviewers. That seems to have nailed this. Young people wanting to be in Hogwarts and study sorcery. That should be it! The world seems to be a dreadful place that we would all like to have powers to turn our enemies into frogs, pigs, ride on a broomstick and get the Snitch and earn points (money) for our family!\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eOh well, the Bible says that sorcery is Satan's work. The book even used the word Transfiguration as a subject in the sorcery school. Blasphemy.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eJust kidding. This is a work of fiction and I am not too old to appreciate it. I was just kidding. To be frank, I tried hard not to like this. I thought that giving this a 1 or 2 will freak out my friends and somehow get votes from those who are, up to now, ignoring this book. \u003ci\u003eI told you so! Why waste your time? \u003c/i\u003e. However, unless you are a grumpy old man/woman, there is nothing not to like about this book. I maybe too old for it but hey, talent is talent and J. K.
