Rating: Summary: they know what is what, but they dont know what is what Review: Harry Potter and the sourcers stone was a very good book. In the great media hype that is Harry Potter and the much anticipated movie I decdied to pick up a copy for my self. pHarry Potter is one of thoses great books that sucks you in right away. Even though it is written for a younger audience it does not lack any excitment that an less amture writer would emit in writting a childrens book. If you are a parent that strugles with geting your children to read like i know I often do i would suggest trying this book. The little brats wont be able to put it down. I was a little disapointed by the lack of sceenes in which quditch, the game played on brooms. I have yet to read any other books in the sereies but hopefully the will be packed with this exciting wizards sport.
Rating: Summary: An Awesome Book Review: Harry Potter And You "Hi" readers Chris, Robbie, Daniel, and me, Tony are in Ms. Bordi's 5th grade class. We have been reading Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets. Every chapter kept us hooked, we always want to know what was going to happen next. We still didn't finish the book, but every time the teacher reads one more line at least one person raises their hand to guess who the Heir of Slytherin is or who opened the Chamber Of Secrets. We like Harry Potter because he will take the chance of being expelled to find out who opened the Chamber Of Secrets. J. K. Rowling is an excellent author. We look forward to reading the rest of the Harry Potter series.
Rating: Summary: Fun Escapism Review: Harry Potter begins his life in an unusual way. His parents died, and he was sent to live with his aunt and uncle. His aunt didn't like his mother or his father, and therefore doesn't like Harry. He lives in a cupboard while his cousin has a large room with all the toys he could ever want. And then one day a letter came for Harry inviting him to come and study at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Easy to read, colorful and full of action, this book was a pleasant read. Even though it was originally meant for children, adults will enjoy this romp in a world of talking hats, pet owls, magic wands, and magical potions.

Rating: Summary: Book review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Review: HARRY POTTER BOOK REVIEW This powerful story of imagination and mystery has been captured by readers of all ages worldwide. Whilst battling as a single mother in Edinburgh, Joanna, Kathleen Rowling, slowly developed her first published novel, ¡®Harry Potter and the Sorcerer¡¯s Stone¡¯. This mysterious and magical adventure created by J.K Rowling, is not only enjoyed, by children, but by adults alike. Harry Potter and Sorcerer¡¯s Stone is a story of a young boy, whose parents died when he was very young. He inevitably ends up residing with his evil aunt and uncle. Harry new that he was different to his aunt, uncle and cousin, but this was confirmed one night, when Harry received a visit from Hagrid, the friendly Games Keeper of Hogsworts School of Witch craft and Wizardry. Hagrid, took Harry back to the world of the witches and wizards, where he realises that he is famous. Harry attends Hogwards, where he not only develops friendships, but also creates enemies, due to his unknown past. Harry¡¯s year at Hogwards is full of adventure, as himself and his two friends, Ron and Harmonie, try and combat evil. The lifestyle and adventures that are created for Harry are magical experiences, that children and even adult¡¯s (not admit tingly) dream of. The storyline, removes readers from their robotic daily lives, and enters them, into a world of spells, enchantments and mystery. J.K Rowling developed such a diverse audience, by inducing a particular style in her writing that makes each reader feel equal. She never talks down to the reader, as if they were a child. This is a key indicator, to why adults find the style and story line so entertaining. She also includes experiences, jokes, references and characters that can be enjoyed by both the young and old. Once you have picked up the story, you will be reluctant to put the tale down. The creativity of characters, activities and dangerous adventures, that take place, cause the story to be such a highly recommended read. Be sure to read the book before you see the movie.

Rating: Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone Review: Harry Potter books never got my attention since they came out. People would talk about how great and amazing the collections of these books were. Once I started to read the first page of book 1 around a year ago but I closed the book and never opened to finish it again. A couple of months ago I found out the movie was going out soon. I wanted to go see it because I just wanted to know about the mysterious scar Harry had in his head. Many of my friends were very excited about the movie, but I wasn't. When the movie came out people made great reviews and all I could hear was Harry Potter. I was beginning to feel curious about the movie and the book because it was being compared. I picked up the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone and began to read it but this time I didn't close it, I kept on reading it, and found out how amazing and fantastic book it was. It got my attention that I read it in 4 days. I couldn't put it down. Mainly this book is about a boy wizard called Harry Potter. He has been living for 11 years with his muggle (human) family the Dursley's. The Dursley's didn't like Harry so much. They had a life of their own before he arrived at their doorstep by Albus Dumbledore (he was the headmaster of Hogwarts school for witches and wizards) with a letter explaining to them how and why Harry had to live with them. Mrs. Dursley's sister and her husband had been killed and told the story of how Harry had survive and when he got to a certain age to tell him that he wasn't just a normal kid he was also a legend and a wizard. The Dursley's didn't want Harry to be a legend and let him know he was a wizard they just wanted him to be normal. Harry lived inside a cupboard underneath the stairs. He wasn't happy though. He had this annoying and spoiled cousin Dudley who would pick on Harry. Harry was very small for his age, he was skinny and wore big eyeglasses that were hold on together with tape because of the many times Dudley had punch him on the nose. Near his 11th birthday a bunch of strange letters were addressed to Harry. He didn't get to see him because his uncle didn't want him to see what they were about. The day of his birthday Harry was woken up at midnight by Hagrid (he worked at Hogwarts) and told him about how Harry was a wizard and how he was a legend and he had been selected to go to Hogwarts school for witches and wizards and that's were Harry Potters adventure begins. Harry meets many amazing friends and goes through many adventures. I really liked this book and I regret it not finishing it the first time. I'm looking forward to see the movie and also read the next Harry Potters book.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter is Ok!! Review: Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling was a good book. It has to do with Witchcraft and wizardry. This is what got me interested in this book to begin with. I think people who are interested in adventure and wizardry and also witchcraft should read this book, it will probably get you through the day.
