Summary: HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE
Review: Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy is fresh and exciting in this wonderful first novel from J.K. Rowling that Plubishers Weekly called "a delightful romp". But the biggest suprises lie ahead in HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (#2), HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKBAN (#3), and the four other novels involving Harry Potter.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tyler's review (age 10)
Review: Harry Potter's parents were killed by a evil sorcerer named Voldemort, but Harry was stronger and Voldemort only left a mark on Harry's forehead. For 11 years Harry lived with the Dersleys in a cupboard. And for 11 years they had forgotten his Birthday. He never knew he was a wizard until he got strange letters in the mail. I liked this book because it was funny, exciting, and well written. It was a very good book. REVIEW: 10 of 10

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Read Diana Wynne Jones
Review: Harry Potter's story is an engaging. I loved the famous sorcerer card deck. But all the (professional) reviewers who seem to think that _Harry Potter_ is some profound new genre have been missing Diana Wynne Jones' books all these years. When you finish _Harry_ and wish for more - read her!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?
Review: Harry Potter, a baby boy, a supposed great wizard is left at his aunt and uncle's house. Soon, an invitation comes, from a place where you fly on broomsticks, meet ghosts, and play a sport called Quidditch. But Harry intervens with the plans of the Dark Lord-Voldemort. With Harry's limited wizarding skills, can he do it? It is a test of courage, and the support of his newly found friends. What makes this book especially great is his human qualities, even though he is a wizard. Enjoy, and soon YOUR greatest wish will be to go to Hogwarts.

Rating: 5 stars

He meets Ron and Hermione and begins to be their friends. If u want to find out the adventures these 3 get in, especially the 3 headed dog, then read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The One Book that Started It All: the Harry Potter-Mania
Review: Harry Potter, a fatherless and motherless boy, has never seen a unicorn, has never heard of wizards or witches, and has not a clue what Quidditch means. The only thing that Harry has ever experience is the miserable life that the Dursley's have given him for the first ten years of his life. But everything changes when letters from no one start arriving at the Dursleys addressed to him. Also on the same day that Harry turns eleven years old, a giant of a man arrives at the place where Harry and the Dursleys are staying and tells Harry that he is a wizard and that him, Harry, has been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
At Hogwarts, Harry does not only meet new friends like Ron Weasly or Hermoine Granger, or enemies like Draco Malfoy, or learns about magic and how to fly on a broom. He also come face to face with Lord Voldemort, his life-time enemy and the person that killed his parents and tried to killed him but only managed to give him a scar on his forehead in the shape of a lighting bolt. But is Harry ready to survive this new life that has been hidden for him for a long time, and is he ready to take hold of the destiny that awaits for him...from now on?

And once "The Sorcerer's Stone" is picked up, can it be put down? Well, I know I could not do it. The world created by JKR is the most amazing and fantastical trance. I loved every single word found in this amazing tale of modern fantasy. Harry Potter is a true hero because is he not only a wizard but a teenager with human characteristics.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Once you start to read Harry Potter, you are hooked!
Review: Harry Potter, a seemingly ordinary boy, leads a very unhappy life with the heartless Dursleys: Uncle Vermon, Aunt Petunia and their terribly spoiled brad Dudley. His real parents supposedly died in a weird car accident. Harry's room is a dark cupboard under the stairs, and that is okay for him, because that's at least one spot where the Dursleys won't bother him. When one plain day a mysterious letter arrives -addressed to Mr H. Potter, The Cupboard under the Stairs- Uncle Vermon refuses to let Harry read the letter and immediately throws it in the fire. Next day another letter arrives, and another. Although the Dursleys try everything to escape the flow of letters, Harry is finally rescued by Hagrid on his flying motorbike and taken to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When Harry enrols at this mysterious school his adventures have only just started.

No-one is capable of ignoring the recent hype around the character of Harry Potter. This is clearly a showcase of how far merchandising can get and gives rise to the question if this circus is really necessary or even justified. One quickly tends to forget that behind this commercial vehicle is one of the most refreshing and inspired stories told in years. Rowling has created with the Harry Potter saga a world filled with a set of unforgettable characters. It is not without reason that Rowling is often compared with Roald Dahl. The strength of these characters becomes even clearer when you look at the high quality of the sequels. The Philosopher's Stone (american edition: Sorcerer's Stone) is so well plotted that it can stand the comparison with a first-class whodunit. It is amazing how all those little details fall together at the end and bring the reader a denouement that is both fair and utterly surprising.

But above all Harry Potter is a fun read, and to my knowledge it is one of the few children's novels that can be read on the train by adults without them having to blush with shame. Something one can only applaud: there is absolutely nothing wrong with admitting you're still young at heart!
