On this book Harry discover he his a wizard, but his uncle, an aunt didn’t want Harry to know that he his a wizard they wanted to squish the magic out of him, until one day Hagrit told Harry that he was a wizard . What Harry didn’t know was that he was going to face the wizards that kill his parents and he will save the sorceress stone the only thing that will bring Voldemort to life.

I moved to America from germany in the year of 2000. I could not speak a word of english and I hated books. But that ended soon, once I started reading Harry Potter I bot good grades in my english classes and I stoped watching a lot of TV.
