When you hear the word magic, what do you think of? Some guy pulling a rabbit out of a hat? Dragons, elves, leprechauns, and fairies? Well, what you may not know is that there is much more to magic than just simple tricks. In fact, a whole community of witches and wizards may be living under your nose! Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling features spell casting, three-headed dogs, and an in-depth tour of what life is like for one particularly special wizard.
Harry Potter has lived with his aunt and uncle since he was a baby and his parents died. His whole life has been filled with and under-the-stairs closet for a bedroom, daring escapes from his cousin Dudley, unexplainable occurrences, and being unwanted. Then, after many failed attempts to retrieve the numerous amounts of mysterious letters addressed to him, Harry discovers on his eleventh birthday that he's a wizard. He's no ordinary wizard though, as he is the only known person to be able to survive the killing curse from the most feared wizard of all- Lord Voldermort, who mysteriously disappeared after failing to kill Harry. Now, Harry is taken to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where his life has suddenly taken a better turn. He soon makes new friends, enemies, the House Quidditch team, and starts to uncover the mystery of what's behind a forbidden door. Together, Harry and his new friends Ron and Hermione live through their lives, reveal the mystery, and possibly even stop a rebirth. Will Harry be able to survive his first year at Hogwarts?
This book is one-of-a-kind because so much imagination, creativity, and thought is put into it, "spellbinding" you from the first page! Rowling's style is both unique and inviting, and her character come alive on the pages.
Will Harry and his friends be able to solve the mystery in time? Is Quidditch as funny as it sounds? Could and illegal dragon slip into the mix? Read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling and you'll be dying to get the rest of the magic.
