The 5-star rating does not do this book justice. It is so amazing that I cant put it in words. I am a hardcore Harry Potter fan and this book is lifechanging. Read each book in order, and watch the movies in this order: Read the book and watch the corresponding movie. My favorite book is the Order of the Pheonix. The best movies, however, are the 2 Deathly Hallows (part 1 and part 2), the graphics are out of this world! I started reading these in the summer after 2nd grade so that is a good time to start reading. Make sure that you are comfortable with reading chapter books. All of the books in the series are awesome, and by reading these you will have an awesome life long experience! Enjoy reading the books! Welcome to the Wizarding World!

Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility.
All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley — a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry’s room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn’t had a birthday party in eleven years.
But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry — and anyone who reads about him — will find unforgettable.
For it’s there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that’s been waiting for him… if Harry can survive the encounter.

This book is so good! It talks about how harry potter known he is a wizard.Harry Potter's life is miserable. His parents are dead and he's stuck with his heartless relatives, who force him to live in a tiny closet under the stairs. But his fortune changes when he receives a letter that tells him the truth about himself: he's a wizard. A mysterious visitor rescues him from his relatives and takes him to his new home, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But even within the Wizarding community, he is special. He is the boy who lived: the only person to have ever survived a killing curse inflicted by the evil Lord Voldemort, who launched a brutal takeover of the Wizarding world, only to vanish after failing to kill Harry.Harry believes it's his responsibility to prevent it from falling into evil hands.
I decided to read this book because it was one I had never seen in the library, and the librarian told me that it had magic. I love magic, so, I decided to read it. It is indeed full of magic and wonder. There is a school of witchcraft and wizardry, Harry has adventures, gets into trouble, and sometimes looks danger in the eye. I would highly recommend this book for people who love magic ( and really anyone who loves a fun book) It would bring magic to the whole family. I once sat in my chair for two hours straight reading Harry Potter. It's the best book ever!
I love the harry potter book series. This is the first book and Harry's parents die, which makes him live with muggles. Harry doesn't know much about magic until envelopes start appearing in his house. Keep reading to find out.....
OMG!!! I Loved This Book SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much!!! It Had Adventure, Suspense and Fun!! I Would TOTALLY Recomend This Book To ANYONE Who Is Looking For An Exciting New Series!!!!
