The Review:

This is the first book in the Harry Potter series and must be read first to understand the next books. It's always thrilling to see reality and fantasy collide in such a lovely way. This book is for everyone who believes in magic in any form, and even if you don't, this book will convert you into a believer since it is magic in and of itself.

This is only the beginning of a fantastic adventure series filled with magic, friendship, difficulties, and triumph against all odds. Bullying in various forms, as well as sweet vengeance on the bullies. Friendship, privilege, nature vs. nurture, discovery, and the power of love are just a few of the topics discussed in this work, and the entire series touches on these themes in some way.

The Sorcerer's Stone is the ideal book to read as you prepare to enter college since no other book will look after you better. The Sorcerer's Stone is the type of narrative that draws you in and keeps you engrossed in the world. You'll feel as though you're journeying to Hogwarts with Harry thanks to the colorful writing.

The work is full of originality, and the writing style is appealing to both youngsters and adults. Even though it isn't as dramatic and on the edge of your seat as the other books in the series, there is that exhilaration you experience along with Harry when some wonderful news arrives. Because at this point in the story, the reader has already fallen in love with Harry, cares for him, and is rooting for him to be free and successful.

If you've never read the book and haven't seen the movies, do yourself a favor and read the books first, because the novels are considerably superior to the movies in terms of in-depth themes, tactics, and other information that isn't included in the movies. Also, be prepared to fall in love and care for this young child as he embarks on his epic journey into the magical realm.

When this novel arrived in a bookstore near my house, I was hesitant to buy it because I assumed it was a book that I had already read, or that if I hadn't, it was just like any other children's book that I had grown tired of. The bookseller showed me this book every time I went to the shop until one day I decided to buy it because I couldn't find any other books that day. Once I started reading it, I was so angry at myself for not listening to the bookseller because this book turned out to be a treasure and now it is like a dream or a memory in my mind and I want to go back in time and reread it as a new book so I can enjoy all the feelings and adventures.

When I first saw the movie and saw Harry Potter, I felt sad and pity for him because he looked exactly like one of my young cousins. He was almost the same age as Harry and was treated horribly by his brothers, sisters, and mother. He was the seventh out of eight children, and everyone despised him because the eighth child was able to persuade everyone, even at that young age, that he was being beaten by this harry look-alike brother of his. In reality, it was always a lie because this little fellow just wanted to be left alone and never hurt his brother. I was the only one who genuinely cared about him and treated him with respect.

I'm sharing this because it has something to do with what happens to Harry at the beginning of the story, but don't worry, he doesn't have seven siblings and isn't being beaten by anybody. His agony is unique in nature, and you should read it for yourself.

Final Thoughts:

This book has it all: a fantastic narrative, engaging characters, a magical setting, and plenty of action to keep you going... a must-read for readers of all ages!

This book can teach a reader a lot of things, it can be a teacher and a school, and it can motivate and encourage you to be the greatest even when the odds are stacked against you.

A book must open the doors of imagination in the reader's mind, and it does, even as an adult, you can see and feel the result.

I really have so much to say about this book, but I don't think I'll be able to stop and actually write a book explaining everything about it, so I'll just say it's one of the greatest books and book series of our time, and it's a classic even though it's not that old.

It is a seven-book series that may take a long time, but if you have already finished it, I have another suggestion: "Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book Series." It is a five-book series, but you will enjoy it just as much as the Harry Potter series.

Synopsis:

“Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Having now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter ebooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism to readers of all ages. With its message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new readers.”
