Summary: Review on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a magical story about a young boy named Harry. In the beginning of the story we learn of a family, the Dursley's. They have agreed to take care of Harry and let him live with them because he parents have been killed. Harry is told that his parents were killed in a car crash, but the truth is that a deranged wizard killed Harry's parents. The Dursleys and there fat, spoiled son, Dudley, are angered that Harry must live with them. They put him in a closet
below the stairs for his living quarters. They keep him here because they do not like him and they also do not want Harry to become aware of his special magical powers.
Around the age of ten, Harry begins to receive mysterious letters. He receives more and more letter, of which he has not seen any of them because they were taken from him, until Mr. Dursley has had enough. He forces the family to move to a cabin by the sea. On Harry's 11th birthday, at the strike of midnight, a huge man has come to find Harry. The man's name
is Hagrid. He is the keeper of Hogwarts, the college of witchcraft and wizardry. He becomes very upset that Mr. and Mrs. Dursley have kept the secret of his parent's fame from him and have not told him the true reason why Harry's parents had died. Harry then decides that he will leave with Hagrid and go away to Hogwarts to further study his wizardy powers. When Harry arrives at Hogwarts, all the students are extremely empressed that they are able to study wizardy with Harry. All the students then gather in a meeting where they are told which cabin they will be placed in. Harry is placed in Gryffindor. Ron and Hermoine, who will becom his best friends, are also placed in Gryffindor. The three of them often do many daring things. They sneak out there cabin many a times using the invisible cap that was given to them by Dumbledoore. Ron, Hermoine, and Harry must then face Sirius who is working for Voldemore to get the Sorcerer's stone. If Voldermore get the stone, he will have eturnal life. Next, the three must go through a series of obsticles. Ron sacrifics himself and gets knocked unconcious so the others can move on. Hermoine solves the final riddle where he must decide with potion Harry must drink in order to walk through the flames. After Harry walks through the flame he faces Voldemore once again. Harry once again defets him. Harry then finds the Sorcerer's stone in his pocket after which explodes.
This was a wonderful book. J. K. Rowlings does an excellent job using imagry that is easy to understand. I look forward to reading the next book in his series to find out what Harry Potter does next.

Summary: Narnia...Oz...Hogwarts? A Superb Childrens Tale!
Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a magnificent tale that lives up to its hype ten fold. J.K. Rowling's world within a world, where witches and warlocks (as well as many more so called mythological creatures) live secretly amongst humans (or Muggles) is great fantastic reading for child and adult alike. Granted this is geared toward children no younger than nine years old, it shouldn't be too scary or thematic for any child if read to by a charismatic parent(especially one who does voices!). Whether it be letters delivered via owl, an invisibility cloak, or the ever present promise of adventure Harry Potter is a wild, exciting ride into juvenille literature that has started an explosion of children desiring to read. And this is definitely a well written story to encourage a child to read. Harry Potter is fast becoming a literary icon and with good reason; the character is so likeable that anyone reading of his exploits can't help but cringe when he's in danger and smile with the very notion that somwhere a Hogwarts exists and that within its walls resides an eager pupil by the name of Harry Potter! The rightful heir to Narnia or Oz, the Harry Potter series is superb reading! If you haven't read it yet what are you waiting for?

Summary: Often lacks origanality, but is impossible to put down.
Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a pageturned if I ever saw one. You can't put it down. It has good charectrs and plenty of events to keep you enthralled. It even has some good plot twists. The only thing its sometimes lacking is orignality. Often predictable, and any of the orignal animals are just revised names of others. However, all and all, this is worth your time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Potter for President!!!!!!

Summary: Read It!!!
Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a thrilling and exciting book. It has sad, scary, great and funny parts in the book. Harry Potter is a famous boy wizard but he doesn't even know it. He tries to figure out what the mysterious object is that someone is trying to hide at Hogwarts. It was so good I'm reading book 2 now. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is adventurous and really lets me use my imagination.I think your child will really enjoy this book and get them using their imagination and not watching TV.
