Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
by J.K. Rowling
Welcome to the dazzling world of Harry Potter.
Muggles. Hogwarts. Voldemort. Sound unfamiliar? Jump into the beautiful and flawlessly crafted world of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter. The first of seven installments of the incredibly popular book series starring a teenage wizard, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, contains a piece of news as surprising to the audience as to Harry himself: Harry Potter is a wizard! And Harry is not just any wizard, but the sole survivor of an attack by the evil and feared Lord Voldemort. On top of this, Harry Potter seemed to have vanquished Voldemort, as well.
Neglected by his own "family" of muggles, or "non-magic folk," Harry is treated poorly by his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and bully of a cousin, Dudley. Suddenly caught in a shower of invitations to accept his magical powers and attend a special magical school, Hogwarts, Harry soon finds that contrary to everything his relatives had ever told him, he in indeed a very special boy. Familiar faces are introduced in this book, including Harry's best friends Ron and Hermione, and Harry's nemesis, who may not actually be a nemesis at all, the brooding Professor Snape. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is written in such an imaginative, vivid way that it is very hard to put down. Come on a magic journey to a far away, and yet familiar land. You won't regret it.
