This is an amazing book but you do not have the main mysterious part that is at the end.It's all about who is the YOU KNOW WHO that everyone is not allowed say the name of? what was being protected from the 3rd out of bounds corridor? who tries to kill Harry and why? You are missing the main important mysterious info that makes people finish the book till the end!!!!!

since everyone seems to love harry potter..
I did like this book, it was pretty good, its better than the other Harry Potter books because Harry hasn't been all corrupted by knowledge telling him he's special. Because in this one he finds out, yes, hes a wizard, but he doesn't think he's all that like in the other ones. I would recommend it.

the Little Critic

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is endlessly inventive and a true page turner. However the book does seem to be written in prose that sounds amateurish. Yet the book is amazing, totally genius. The settings, the three dimensional characters, truly villanious villians, the funny and amusing scenes, the plot twists, the suspense, the edge of your seat climax, eveything is wonderful. JK Rowling is a true wizard, with not a trace of muggle-blood in her.

Harry Potter and The Sorcerors Stone, by JK Rowling is a phenomonal book. If you are looking for exitement, fantasy, or a laugh, this book is the one to look for. With creative and distinct characters and a dramatic story line, this book is a hit in all aspects. JK Rowling has outdone herself this time. She has shown herself to be one of the greatest authors of our time. All I have to say is you go girl
