This book was phenomenal. I won't give the plot away, but the scene in the shack towards the end makes me cry. It goes far deeper than a stereotypical children's book. I can't wait for the fifth one.

I am a 28 year old mother. My son brought Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone home from school one day. I thought it sounded pretty cool. Wizards and magic are right up my alley. I started reading it and couldn't put it down. I went out right out after I finished the book, and bought the other three books in the series. The Prisoner of Azkaban was a great book. The way Hermione was able to turn back the clock was cool. I'm waiting on pins and needles for the 5th book to come out. Keep up these Harry Potter books, they are awesome. My two kids and myself just love them!!!
