Suki
Harry Potter is my favorite book.(out of all the books I've read) I think J.K. Rowling has a great imagination.I love all the Harry Potter books.


Nicolle
I love this book. I could read it over and over. I have recommended many people of all ages to read this book. Just because it is a children's book doesn't always mean that it is just for children.


Alicia
At first I didn't get what the big deal was and then I read the first Harry Potter book and couldn't put it down each book gets even better it is the best series of books I've ever read in my life it makes you want to read and once you start you cant stop I hope there's more then 4 years at Hogwarts!!!!!


Hannah
I have had 'the philosopher's stone' for just over a month and a half and have read it 8 times. I can honestly say that it is the best book I have ever read. I cant wait to read the next ones! well done J.K Rowling!!!

Hi" my name is mansi this book was great it was scary spooky and I always wanted to know what's next in it. IT WAS THIS THE BEST BOOK I EVER READ


Abby
My little sister got the first book for her birthday and she absolutely loved it. Then my 22 year old brother and his fiancé read it then we bought the 2nd two books and I finally picked the 1st one up and read it. It was amazing I absolutely loved it. I have read all three and am waiting for the 4th!!!!


Kathy
I read the Harry Potter books three times in five months--My mother and sister wanted me to read to them because I kept telling them how wonderful the books are. My favorite thing to do now is to ask people who have read this book who their favorite character is. J. K. Rowling has done a wonderful job, and I'm sure the others will be just as spiffing.


Leia
If you want action packed adventure and broad display of imagination, you can read any book you can find. But if you want the best it's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone". Read this book and you won't be able to stop, obsession is almost unavoidable. This won't be something you regret, it will be something you cherish and remember.
