Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Publisher: Bloomsbury
After the misery of life with his ghastly aunt and uncle, Harry Potter is delighted to have the chance to embark on an exciting new life at the Hogwart's School of Wizardry and Witchcraft. Learning about magic and making new friends, he has the chance to use his new-found wizarding skills to unravel some of the mysteries of his own past - and to uncover some shocking secrets about his teachers.
This brilliantly inventive, award-winning adventure story is the first in the phenomenally successful Harry Potter series. With shades of Diana Wynne Jones, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl and Jill Murphy's The Worst Witch, this contemporary classic of children's literature is beloved by children and adults alike.

I used to LOVE Harry Potter. My favorite character is Hermione Granger. BUT I then I read the secret of platform thirteen. Read it! It is such a great book. If you read it you will see that some ideas are similar to Harry Potter. First I thought it was Harry Potters ideas but then I saw that the secret of platform thirteen was written FIRST. There are many other books where JK Rowling took an idea. It is still a great book. But I like others better.

This book was my childhood. If youlike this book series I reccommend reading the school for good and evil By soman chainani. And If you like that maybe try out some books written by melinda Salisbury!

This is DEFINITELY the book of the century! I started reading it because it was in my school booklist and as it was SO FAMOUS,it had me wondering what kind of magic this book holds...so i started reading it. I have read this book around 6 times and i simply canNOT get enough of it. Along with this book...i also highly recomend the other books in the harry potter series! #AHUGEPOTTERHEAD!

I loved as it brings a series to life, I love how Harry defeats Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia's hate of him his friends, Ron and Hermoine are comical and Draco Maldfoy just an idiot. Snape is annoying and hateful but in the second book it is found out that. ;)

this book has a lot of words. but we eventually got to read it all. my dad read it to me and my brother every night and we very much enjoyed it ( he did voices too ) and now we have watched the prisoner of askaban and it was really scary. i like this book very much because it has a lot of words. i like words.

Harry Potter is the best book series I have ever read in my whole life. I am currently reading the last book and I am devestated to be taking my last adventure with Harry. I would recommend this book for children between the age of nine and fifteen.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: the first magical novel in the Harry Potter series, is a fantastic book in which a young boy discovers that he is a wizard, goes to the best school of witchcraft and wizardry known (Hogwarts), and embarks on all sorts of adventures. This award winning author, J.K Rowling, has made a world so realistic in the Philosopher’s Stone, that it feels as though you’re in that world too, which is exactly what you get in a good book. Harry P...

I read in harry potter that he is so good to his/her friends and if there's have a problem he can solve them and harry potter was so kind and a gentleman.

The best I could imagine! Sublime, splendid,superior these words came all into my mind and got the attention of me faster than the speed of lighting. J.K Rowling's boils are bulbs what anyone can imagine. Thank you for being an author as it has opened up a whole new world for me .

I am reading an Alan Garner book, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, at the moment, at school. I could make really good connections with this book and the Harry Potter book. Both the books have good and bad magic and I just think that you should read both the books and see whether you can find any more connections! (But there is a scary bit at the end of Harry Potter.....)

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS! Harry Potter finds out that he is a wizard then Hagrid comes and whisks Harry to Diagon Alley to get his wizard stuff then Hagrid tells Harry how to get to Hogwarts! The next day Harry Potter goes on the Hogwarts Express and has a fantastic term with his friends but there's one slight problem Draco Malfoy and his friends Goyle and Crabbe are horrible to Him. Harry's arch enemy is Vol- He who must not be named! I know this is a fantasy book because it is full ...

This book was my childhood essentially. It founded my values of the world and taught me right from wrong. I can't recall how many times I've read the entire series but every time I still get chills, I still race to the bottom of the page in hunger for words I already know by heart. This book, this series, is an art collection and a gift to our generation and all to come.

The book, I must say is the very best. It showed the world what is true fantasy and created the wizarding world in a realistic form.

I love the Harry Potter books, they are so inventive and funny and you get really attached to the characters. The Philosopher's Stone is brilliant because it just starts it all off, and once I started it I couldn't put it down.
