Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts because this novel will take you on an incredible ride! Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is a story full of adventure, mystery, courage, and amazing characters you’re bound to love. At Hogwarts School and Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry is a celebrity from the gecko. The tale of young Harry’s lightning scar (which I won’t spoil, you’ll have to read the book to find out the full details) is the main contributor to this, yet his accomplishments and heroics in the school also add on to that. He quickly befriends Ron, the youngest son of the Weasley family, with “red hair and a hand-me-down robe;” and Hermione, a very intelligent young lady with promise in the magical community. Now, if you think a story about an eleven-year old boy in a fantasy wizarding school is a little . . . childish for you, you would most likely be incorrect. No matter the age, each word on each page will leave you on the edge of your seat, craving for the next one. So, if you’re looking for a good book, look no further and discover the incredible magical community in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
