MY REVIEW • for people who want to enjoy an intriguing, fast paced novel, Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the perfect book to read. It keeps
you involved throughout the book as most chapters have cliffhangers
at the end. This novel is the first of the seven famous Harry Potter
books by J.K. Rowling.
• The book is about 11 year old Harry Potter, who receives a letter
saying that he is invited to attend Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and
wizardry. He then learns that a powerful wizard and his minions are
after the sorcerer’s stone that will make this evil wizard immortal and
undefeatable. Harry decides to go after the sorcerer’s stone before
the wizard reaches it, but his loyal friends, Hermione and Ron don’t
let Harry face this danger alone.
• This book is full of fantasies and imagination like at one point, Harry
Potter is asked to catch a flying golden ball while flying on his
broomstick. Eventually Harry Potter stands on his broomstick and
tries to reach for the ball, but he falls off the broomstick in a very
tense moment. He unexpectedly throws up the golden ball winning
the game for his team.
