Summary: Da Bomb
Review: I loved this book! It started out kind of confusing but it did get smoother. I love the fact that Harry is a lot more powerful than he thinks, it's errie. But I'm glad he has a trusted friend like Hermione to get him out of sticky situations. I may not be a witch ,but I bet any bookworm would fit in there.

Summary: This six-year old loved it!!!!!
Review: I loved this book! It was one of my favorite books ever. Each night, my mom or my dad would read me a chapter, and I couldn't wait for the next one. I love Harry Potter and I can't wait for the next book to come out. Does anyone know how I can get it before September of 1999? I am a wizard and Harry Potter is the greatest!

Summary: What a GREAT book!
Review: I loved this book! It was so full of imagination and creativity! I was drawn into this book, and I read it cover to cover in a day. The book was an amazing adventure that allowed you to feel exactly what Harry was going through. The book deserves 5 stars because it kept my attention, most books don't. Harry lived with the Dursley family and was treated like dirt. No, worse than dirt. He always knew he was different but he found out for sure when he was accepted into Hogwart's School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. His adventures started as soon as he got there. He found himself, a wizard, at a school beginning a new chapter in his life. I loved the book and I encourage anyone to read it!

Review: I loved this book! It's just one of those books where you can't put it down. I couldn't wait to see what kind of adventure or trouble Harry would get into next. I also recommend the next two books. I can't wait untill J.K. Rowling writes another book in here series about Harry!

Summary: Must Read!!
Review: I loved this book!! I don't see how people can't like it. It is cool how you can like escape from the real world to a fantasy world. Usually when i read books i can't stand reading them more than once. But all the Harry Potter books make me want to keep reading them. I read them so fast i can't wait for the next one to come out. Some of my friends make fun of me for reading long books, but it's like how can you not like these books?

Summary: An exiting, mysterious book...you'll wish you were Harry.
Review: I loved this book, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone!" I wanted to get given the chance Harry did. I wanted to be along with him and his friends on their adventures. The book was written with great skill. Very descriptive and magical. J.K. Rowling showed amazing creativity in the activities that took place, and in developing the game of Quidditch. The adventures that took place were meaningful and hilarious. I can't wait for a sequel!

Summary: How dumb does Scholastic think American's are?
Review: I loved this book, but when I read of the Sorcerer's Stone I had a nagging feeling about it at the back of my mind, until it struck me that all the descriptions of it matched what I had always known as a Philosopher's Stone. I first learned of the Philosopher's Stone when I was 10 years old and read a book called "Gone-Away Lake" by Elizabeth Enright, and then of course read more of it when studying European history.As the Encyclopedia Brittanica puts it: "in alchemy, substance thought to be capable of changing base metals into gold. The same term, more fully elixir vitae, "elixir of life," was given to the substance that would indefinitely prolong life--a liquid that was believed to be allied with the philosopher's stone." I was quite confused, but then I discovered that it England the book *was* originally called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". This title makes so much more sense. What the heck is a sorcerer's stone? Nothing. Why the change? Does Scholastic Books just think American's are dumb, ignorant fools? I can't think of any other reason for the change. I do know that from now on I will buy my copies of the books from the British publisher, rather than the "dumbed down" American versions put out by Scholastic.
