Everyone loves Harry Potter. I, who prefer realistic fiction, love Harry Potter. My best friend, who likes authors the like of Ray Brdbury, loves Harry Potter. My friend from camp, who likes books about serious subjects, loves Harry Potter. Another friend from camp, who doesn't really like reading, loves Harry Potter. In fact, ALL my friends from camp love Harry Potter. My friend who needs things to read loves Harry Potter. My aunt, who works at a Barnes and Nobles, loves Harry Potter. EVERYONE LOVES HARRY POTTER! Some people say it's too simple. PLEASE!!! Ms. Rowlings has invented Wizard Candy (Every flavor beans, Chocolate Frogs) Wizard clothing (The sorting Hat) Wizard spells (WinGARRRdium LeviOSa) Wizard words (Muggle, Squib) Wizard sports (Quidditch) Wizard Inventions (Floo powder) Wizard Wands (Yew, Unicorn hair, 9 1/2 inches, nice and whippy) Wizard tricks (The giant checkerboard, black and purple fire) Wizard dorms (Slytherin, Gryffindor) and of course, Wizard villains (VOLDEMORT). And they say the books are SIMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@#$%^&*()_-+=+-_)(*&^%$#@!!!! Also, one person said how this book makes fun of overweight people because Dudley is turned into a pig. I read the book carefully and a lot and it never occured to me once that that was because Dudley was fat! He simply acts quite pig like!And he(Dudley)makes fun of Harry for being skinny! And the hero has glasses! No stereotypes there! Also, Ron and ?Harry's best friend is a girl. As a girl whose best friend is a boy, I appreciate that. Also, i think the story of how the author read the book is pretty amazing! She was in welfare and wrote iton one of those yellow pads at a coffee shop. Then, boom! I'd guess she's not on welfare anymore. PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND ALSO, MS ROWLING? PLEASE WRITE MORE THAN 7!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling is an excellent book for all ages and I would definitely urge everyone to read it. The author has put together a sensational plot with extraordinarily fascinating characters that hook a reader on the story. I started reading the book and could not stop. The wizards, the magic, and the Quidditch (the favorite sport of all wizards in which the players fly on broomsticks trying to score goals with five balls) just kept me reading. Harry, the main character of the story, is forced to live with his controlling aunt and uncle after his parents died. When Harry is eleven he finds out that he is a wizard and is sent to the Hogwarts School of Magic, for witches and wizards. He undergoes many adventures throughout his time at school, which earn him honor and respectability. At first I was embarrassed to be reading Harry Potter, which my mom said I would enjoy, as it is a book recommended for ages five to twelve - I'm sixteen. My younger brother, who isn't a big reader, read this book in a couple of days, straight. We couldn't get him away from it. I thought if he liked it so much then I guess I would enjoy it too. Was I in for a big surprise! It is the best book I have ever read and I can't wait to read the next two!

Harry Potter, a fatherless and motherless boy, has never seen a unicorn, has never heard of wizards or witches, and has not a clue what Quidditch means. The only thing that Harry has ever experience is the miserable life that the Dursley's have given him for the first ten years of his life. But everything changes when letters from no one start arriving at the Dursleys addressed to him. Also on the same day that Harry turns eleven years old, a giant of a man arrives at the place where Harry and the Dursleys are staying and tells Harry that he is a wizard and that him, Harry, has been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
At Hogwarts, Harry does not only meet new friends like Ron Weasly or Hermoine Granger, or enemies like Draco Malfoy, or learns about magic and how to fly on a broom. He also come face to face with Lord Voldemort, his life-time enemy and the person that killed his parents and tried to killed him but only managed to give him a scar on his forehead in the shape of a lighting bolt. But is Harry ready to survive this new life that has been hidden for him for a long time, and is he ready to take hold of the destiny that awaits for him...from now on?

And once "The Sorcerer's Stone" is picked up, can it be put down? Well, I know I could not do it. The world created by JKR is the most amazing and fantastical trance. I loved every single word found in this amazing tale of modern fantasy. Harry Potter is a true hero because is he not only a wizard but a teenager with human characteristics.
