Harry Potter is an ordinary boy who lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon’s house, which he thinks is normal for someone like him who’s parents have been killed in a ‘car crash’. He is bullied by them and his fat, spoilt cousin Dudley, and lives a very unremarkable life with only the odd hiccup (like his hair growing back overnight!) to cause him much to think about. That is until an owl turns up with a letter addressed to Harry and all hell breaks loose! He is literally rescued by a world where nothing is as it seems and magic lessons are the order of the day. Read and find out how Harry discovers his true heritage at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, the reason behind his parents mysterious death, who is out to kill him, and how he uncovers the most amazing secret of all time, the fabled Philosopher’s Stone! All this and muggles too. Now, what are they?

My favourite character is Hermione. I do recommend this book because they have fun adventures and they have to figure out secrets.

It was a good book because it keeps you on the edge of your chair with lots of suspense. My favourite part was when Harry Potter got onto the quidditch team and to be the youngest player for a hundred years

It is a fiction book. The character that I like the most is that of Hermione because though she is annoying at times, she is also very clever. The characters that I did not like are those of Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia because they are mean to Harry. I would recommend this book to someone who hasn't read it.

I thought it was really good I liked how Harry's story starts with a horrible family and then he's happy.

I have really enjoyed reading this book! I love the way J.K. Rowling has used descriptive language! My favourite part was when Harry defeated Voldemort through Professor Quirrell ! I would recommend this book for children who love adventure stories.
