Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, by J.K. Rowling, is the first of seven installment of the Harry Potter series. Harry Potter is a very misfortunate boy who lost his parents at a very young age and was forced to go live with uncle and aunt, who view him as a burden rather than a blessing. Harry learned that he was no unique boy at his eleventh birthday, when Hagrid, a half-giant, comes and tells him that he, Harry, is a wizard. He then goes to a wizard school called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he meets his two future best friends, Hermoine and Ron. Throughout his first year at school, Harry meets Professor Snape, who has a wee bit of a mean attitude towards him, and Draco, who is Harry’s jealous enemy that always wants to oppose him. In the school year, Harry finds a love for the wizard sport of quidditch, a sport where you fly on brooms and you try and throw balls through rings and another player tries to catch this independent moving ball. He is the youngest player in quidditch history in the last one hundred years. As the year comes to an end, he is faces a battle with Lord Voldemort, the most evil wizard in the wizard world and the person responsible for the murdering of his parents, James and Lily Potter. In conclusion, Harry defeats Voldemort, which is a surprise because no one has ever survived him, and then returns home for the summer as he awaits for the next school year to arrive. 

In my opinion, this book series is worth reading because the ways that the author portrays her ideas and how she uses such descriptive vocabulary, you cannot help but continue to read until you have finished the book. The book has enough more than enough action to keep you entertained and the way that the story is based in the wizard world, it gives you a whole new imagination when reading this book. One problem that I have with this book, is how there is too much dialog and how Ron, Harry’s best friend, is too afraid to take chances and he should be more like Harry, or ‘arry as some of the characters say. The whole idea of good and evil and the huge affect that it has on this novel series is what I like most about it. There is Harry, the good pure character who always does what is right, and his friends, who have the small moral compass as himself, and Draco, a character in the novel that Rowling tries to display as an evil character, who represents as temptation, and Lord Voldemort, the most evil character in the novel who represents all that is bad. In conclusion, I believe that anyone who wants to spend a week of their life to read a book, then it is definitely worth their time to read this book
