Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling

I read the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. By J.K. Rowling. It is the first book in the Harry Potter series. Harry Potter is a first year at Hogwarts and he meets his new friends Ron Weasly and Hermoine Granger. It tells the mischief and adventures he has at his first year. He was living at the dreadful Dursleys house when he started receiving the letters. His Uncle Vernon would burn, rip and do whatever it took to get rid of the letters until the finally flooded his house and they left. Hagrid found them on an island and took Harry to take him to the Hogwarts train so he could finally attend the school of his dreams and reach his full potential as a wizard!

The recommended age is: 9-12

These books are in Hardcover and Paperback, also all of them have been or are going to be made into movies!

Kirkus review says, It's slanted toward action-oriented readers, who will find that Briticisms meld with all the other wonders of magic school.

A quote from the book is “ Difficult very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind either. There’s talent, oh my goodness, yes- and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that’s interesting... So where shall I put you? GRYFFINDOR!”
