Summary: Where it all began...
Review: Harry has been orphaned as a baby and brought up by his Aunt and Uncle, the Dursleys, who have a son of their own around Harry's age. It is not a happy childhood for Harry, always in the shadow of his oversized bullying cousin, he sleeps in the cupboard under the stairs, wears worn out, second hand clothes, which are too big and never receives any love or treats from his Aunt and Uncle, Harry is led to believe his parents were killed in a car crash and he survived. Odd things happen to Harry without explanation, like the day his Aunt and Uncle took Harry to the zoo, a birthday treat for his cousin, and Harry discovered he could talk to a snake.

It is approaching Harry's eleven birthday and a letter arrives for him, Harry has never had a letter before, his Uncle is furious and will not allow Harry to read the letter, letter upon letter arrives and they are kept from Harry and the family go into hiding to avoid more letters, eventually on Harry's eleven birthday an enormous man called Hagrid turns up and tells Harry he has been offered a place at a boarding school, he is not an ordinary boy and the school is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hagrid is the gamekeeper at the school, a wizard who was expelled from school in his third year.

Harry is told his parents were a wizard and witch, that they were murdered by Voldermort, the dark lord who is so terrifying all but one or two wizards are frightened to even say his name, and that when Voldermort tried to murder Harry something happened, the spell failed, Harry was left with a lightning scar on his forehead and Voldermort became very weak and lost most of his power. Harry was famous in the world of witches and wizards. The Dursleys have always known the truth about Harry but they have an intense fear and hatred of anything abnormal, they believed they could keep the truth from Harry and he would never discover his magical powers.

Hagrid takes Harry to London to buy everything he needs for the start of term and his new life at Hogwarts. They enter the Leaky Caldron pub, which can only be seen by witches and wizards, go out the back and into Diagon Alley a street full of magical shops, he discovers that he has a wealth of money in the bank, although the money is in a currency used only by witches and wizards, he gets his cloak, books, caldron, a pet owl and is measured for his wand. Harry returns to his Aunt and Uncle's home until the start of term at his new school.

Harry has to get the Hogwort Express to school, it leaves from Kings Cross station out of platform nine and three quarters, between platform nine and ten and only accessible to witches and wizards, but Harry does not know how to get onto the platform, he meets a women with her children and asks for help; here we are introduced to the Weasley family, Mrs. Weasley is a witch, she has four sons and a daughter with her, Percy is a prefect at Hogworts, Fred and George are twins, also at Hogworts and both are practical jokers, Ron is starting his first year and little Ginny is seeing the boys off with her mother.

Once on board the train Harry shares a compartment with Ron and Ron's pet rat scabbers, they look forward to their first year at Hogwarts and meeting Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, a great wizard and the only person Volermort fears. The school is in an old castle with hidden rooms and secret passages and Harry becomes best friends with Ron and Hermione Grainger, a very bright girl who is a bit of a know it all; he is introduced to flying on a broomstick, the wonderful sport of Quidditch, mystical creatures, spells, ghosts who wander around the school and he receives a cloak that makes the wearer invisible as an anonymous Christmas present. There are rumours that Voldermort is gathering strength and could regain power. Along with his two friends, Harry is led on an adventure of mystery, riddles and intrigue in an attempt to discover the Philosopher's Stone before Voldermort.

The book is full of clues and you think you know what's coming next but you never quite get it right and at the end of the book everything you have read in the two hundred and twenty three pages just fits into place. After reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone I had to get started on the next book.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is better than great!
Review: Harry Poter And the Sorcerer's stone (I'll use HPATSS for short) is a 5 star book with a-lot of suprises,adventure and mystery, it is a book to remember! Another thing I like about HPATSS is that it has detail and lots of it. I can't wait to finish the 2nd one, read the 3rd one and wait for the other books! I also hope the movie goes under way and that all 7 books are completed! So that's all I have to say about HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE!
