Book Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Review by Sergio

Have you ever wished your life could be a little more magical? Have you ever wished you could fly high above the ground? Have you ever wished you could talk to animals and hear them answer you? Have you ever wanted to become invisible, and discover secrets without anyone knowing? 

We discover a world of breathtaking adventure and magic, when our protagonist Harry Potter receives his letter of invitation to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Whisked away from a life of boredom and drudgery, Harry quickly makes new friends in Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The trio of friends attend classes on magic potions, transformations, and even learn to fly high on their broomsticks!

Harry also meets powerful enemies at Hogwarts, and learns of a secret that could destroy the wizarding world if it fell into the wrong hands. There are mysteries hidden in the halls and chambers of Hogwarts, shadowy figures lurking in the forest, and conspiring in the halls. Harry must summon all of his courage and use the help of his friends, if he is to save his newfound home.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is a delightful book for readers of all ages. Whether you are a new or a returning reader, there has never been a better time to escape the “muggle” world and enjoy this timeless classic.
