Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone by J.K Rowling, review
The Sorcerer's Stone is the first book in the Harry Potter series, and it is a very delightful start. You get a glimpse of the Wizarding World in its raw and beautiful state. Every new act of magic is so wondrous, you'll need to read the next book immediately!

This book has inspired me to read more at school and at home. I love the Harry Potter series and I'm in the middle of reading the second one! I think J.K Rowling is a great author with a creative imagination! Two thumbs up! :)

It was full of action and intense suspense. I loved how J.K. Rowling displayed the characters. She makes every feel like they are special. My favorite part is the end when the characters head below the trapped door. They defeat their challenges as we all should in life. When that hurdle comes right at us, we should believe in ourselves and jump over the hurdle. I would recommend this book to all children and adults.
