About the book Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone.
When you open a book you totally forget about your 'real' life. You are not in your bedroom anymore, you are on a Nimbus 2000, you are putting the sorter hat on your head, defeating the death eaters, hugging Ron, best friend of Hermoine, love interest of Ginny and you are at Hogwarts, the school of witch craft and wizardry.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stong
This is my favorite book. I have read it 19 times. I never read books again. This book, however, just keeps me intrigued. Every time I read it I discover new details.

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!

Waited a decade to read this. It is surprisingly good.
Years ago, my classmates were all excited about the Harry Potter book series and I thought it was just a fad. Then came the movies... and surprisingly, until now HP is still very famous and a lot of the people I know speak highly of this book. I got curious and started to read this book.

I was surprised. It is really a good book. It is very nice and easy to read and very enjoyable. I didn't get bored reading every page of the book, which is surprising because I easily get bored with most of the books out there. I even rewatched the movie before I continued with the remaining chapters of the book. The writing is excellent. It answered some of my questions in the movie. Well, of course, the movie just shows highlights of the book. I gave it only four because there are still some questions which are left unanswered, but I think it will be given light in the next books or not... I wouldn't know if I don't read all of them!

I have never read such a wondrous and time consuming book. A true legend Potter will be, for years and years to come.
