Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

I'm probably the only person on earth who had never read Harry Potter. I'm taking seriously Amazon's rating system in which 4 stars means "I liked it" and 5 stars means "I loved it." I liked it. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was a fun read, creative, humorous, more absorbing than I expected. As someone who strongly prefers realism over fantasy, I thought I might be bored, but I wasn't. I genuinely enjoyed the book, which had good character development and never stopped moving. But I wasn't sorry when the book ended, and I don't plan to read the others in the series. Fantasy is just not my genre. So now I'm back to reading either historical or contemporary fiction, because I think real life has a depth to it that fantasy cannot match.

It was really confusing and I didn’t user stand maybe b/c I am only ten but it was really weird and half the time I was just thinking why am I reading this personally I think you should get a book like diary of a wimpy kid or dork diaries for people my age but if you are older an you like wizards and magic then I think you will enjoy this book

I got this book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, after my old copy got lost during a move. I just couldn't not have this book in my book collection! The Harry Potter books were the reason I fell in love with reading and make-believe worlds and I have JK Rowling to thank for that. The writer created a magical, wizarding world which will inevitably give you homey and warm feelings all over; by the end of this book, you'll want to be a wizard! The book is about a young boy, Harry Potter, and his adventures in Hogwarts (a wizarding school) after discovering he is a wizard by a very diverse, funny, warm and very big, Hagrid, the groundskeeper at Hogwarts. We're introduced to the rest of the trio, Hermione and Ron in Hogwarts. Rowling takes us through Harry's struggles at being an orphan, a newly wizard, and famous for surviving a curse by the darkest wizard of all times; it easily keeps you hooked! I loved the amazing character development we see with the trio, especially with Ron, who started out shy and awkward but slowly became braver. This book is full of mystery, adventure, and multiple plot twists and I couldn’t be happier! The Harry Potter books are a must for any fantasy, magical readers. I rate it an easy 5 star! JK Rowling wrote a masterpiece and everyone (no matter the age) will fall in love with the wizarding world.

This book is a great value! If you can afford it and don’t have the hard cover books, I suggest you invest in them because they are so beautiful! I grabbed this because my husband wanted to re-read this and I have the hardcovers at my parents house (across the country) so I figure I can pass this along to a local school when I’m done! I will also say that if you or your child are dyslexic, the hardcover is also a joy to read and this would be more frustrating.

Seen the movies a handful of times but decided I wanted to read the books. The movies do a good job but there are pieces that are missing or not explained that kept me not understanding the whole story. Reading the books help to fill those gaps and I’m constantly telling my bf how stuff really went down at Hogwarts! Also there are other characters the movies don’t include and the more detail about hedwig and other creatures makes the books so enjoyable. I’ve read the first 3 Harry Potter book is in one month!

Perfect condition! Had to replace my first one since it was stolen:( but I couldn’t be happier! (Btw anyone who hasn’t read this series, stop everything and buy this book. Read this series. Your life will change, trust me.)

The front cover is badly bent ,back cover shows normal wear so not completely horrible. My main problem is with the pages themselves . Several looked as if they were left face down open in dirt. Far from what I expected and I'm tears because I bought this for my birthday and the condition is just gross.

I read this book for two reasons. My 13 year old granddaughter asked me to and I wanted to be able to tell every HP fan who asked that I had read one. I have never cared for fantasy or science fiction so take this review with a grain of salt but I found it pretty forgettable.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first book in a series of seven that tells the story of a young boy who is orphaned as a baby when his parents are killed by a dark wizard who tries to kill Harry too, but Harry survives the attack and all he is left with is a scar on his forehead that identifies him as the only living wizard known to be able to survive Voldemort. After the attack as a baby is sent to live with his human or "muggle" relatives where for ten years, he is never told he is a wizard; and he receives harsh and cold treatment from them because they desperately want to fit into the "normal" world and Harry is anything but ordinary. Harry only finds out about his past ,his wizard lineage, and how his parents died, when he gets his letter from Hogwarts; an academy for young wizards and witches. Then the real adventure begins, as Harry discovers a world of magic, makes friends, and enters a world where instead of being invisible, he is a virtual celebrity and his name is known by every magical being he comes into contact with. This was a charming first book to kick off the series and I enjoyed it much more than I expected to. The characters were very easy to picture as you read the book, and the plot was exciting enough that even if you had never heard of the movie or had an idea beforehand of what was going to happen you would want to continue to read because the story was very well written.

I am currently rereading the Harry Potter books for the first time since J. K. Rowling concluded her series. What most impressed me about the series the first time through was how much better it got as it went along. The first two novels in the series -- THE SORCERER'S STONE and THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS -- were fun and interesting, but not great. THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN, however, I did think qualified as great, and the subsequent books were even better. I tremendously admired Rowling in all this. I'm sure that she had absolutely no idea that the books would become the phenomenon that they did. She could have coasted and produced several more novels on the same level as the first two, but instead she worked extremely hard, improved her craft, and kept faith with her readers. The quality of the first novels compared with the later novels is immense. Whether or not the series deserved the degree of hype it received early on can be debated, but by the time Rowling completed her saga it definitely warranted all the praise that it had received. Nonetheless, even though THE SORCERER'S STONE is nowhere as good as the later books would be, this is a better book than I remembered. Rowling does a tremendous job of setting up the overall situation, imbuing her story with primal elements that perfectly appeal not merely to child readers, but any reader. Many of these elements are similar to what one finds in classic fairy tales: a child with a hidden destiny and unacknowledged worth is abused and debased by uncaring foster parents. This is as basic a set up as they come. And the details that Rowling develops as she chronicles Harry's life with the Dursleys are exquisite. There are times when she almost goes over the top and the neglect of the Dursleys become absurd, but all in all the effect is delightful. The contrast between Harry's nightmarish life with the Dursleys and his exciting, if sometimes dangerous, life at Hogwarts is immense. The closest thing I have to a complaint to the first novel is that the overall story is simply not very strong. What makes up for this is the frequently delicious description of Hogwarts. The places, traditions, people, and entities she describes are consistently marvelous. Diagon Alley, Haggrid, the Hogwarts Express departing from Platform Nine and Three Quarters, the Sorting Hat, the four houses of Hogwarts, Nearly Headless Nick, and numerous other details are simply superb. And Rowling creates a wonderful cast of characters. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are a truly great trio, as is Dumbledore and Snape and all the denizens of Hogwarts. As I said, I think the dramatic arc of this novel is the weakest part of the book, but the world she creates is nearly perfect. The subsequent novels would exploit this wonderful world to create a great overall story. Now I'm going to say something controversial and will probably make some people mad, but I want to write an honest review. For me the one really false note that runs through all of the Harry Potter books is quidditch, which is improbably described as the greatest game in the world. I find almost nothing interesting and appealing about this game, even if people could ride on brooms. One could point to a host of minor problems with the game, but the biggest would be the absurd number of points assigned to the catching of the Golden Snitch. Catching the Snitch garners so many points as to render the rest of the game as nearly irrelevant. Apart from the fact that the game is played by people who are flying, I found almost nothing interesting about the game. And as much as I came to love the series in the later novels, I never came to like anything about quidditch. All in all this is a fine start to a great series. The main achievement in this first book is the wonderful, literally magical world that Rowling creates. While the stories would get better, the initial set up could not have been more perfect. I look anxiously forward to the next book in the series.

I have bought all 7 books for my kid since there’s buy 2 get 3 promotion. Amazon has the best price. My 7 year has been reading the first book from time to time and I also read some to her. She is possessed with the magic story. The 2 minor downsides are small font (bad for kid’s eyes) and easy wear and tear. But for this price, these can be tolerated.

All of my friends and classmates were obsessed with Harry Potter as I was growing up and unfortunately, I had little interest. I enjoyed the movies but had no desire to read the books. During quarantine, I decided to try to get back into reading and thought that I’d give Harry Potter a try. All I can say is that I’m now officially obsessed! The books are 1000x better than the movies. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing! If you’re an adult and you’re undecided because you think these books are childish, I highly recommend that you reconsider. We could all use a little magic in our lives right now!

That I am just now reading the Harry Potter series would surprise no one who knows me. I'm usually a good 3-5 years behind trend. Harry Potter has legions of adoring fans and noted detractors, who are in turn drowned out by the passion of Harry Potter fans. I understood nothing of HP before I read my first book, which was ironically book three: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. After reading the first book I'm now proud to say that I am a fan, maybe not to the extent that some people are, since I've largely missed being on the ten year journey of most Potter fans. I'm also living proof that you can still get something out of the books, even if the wave has driven past you. What impressed me is that J.K. Rowling didn't fall into the trap of many authors of young adult literature by creating these cliché stock characters that appear built out of cardboard. Furthermore, every detail of the world of Harry Potter feels as though it was meticulously crafted by a painter or a sculptor rather than an author--true talent indeed. Even seemingly minor characters are intimately fleshed out. I think its' these two factors that give Harry Potter its' unique place in contemporary literature. I decline to provide a plot summary, because so many reviewers have done those already, and plus Harry Potter is really about an experience that goes deeper than a book.

I was a little late to the Harry Potter craze, having been raised to believe that this book was the work of the Devil and never having the time to read seven extra books during college. However, after being assigned to read this book in a young adult literature class at the age of twenty-five, I was hooked. The plot is imaginative, the characters are interesting and fully developed, and the book is well written yet simple enough for children to enjoy. After finishing the class, I continued to read the other six books, which are equally amazing. To Christian parents: I am a Christian too, and it is true that the book is full of magic and sorcery. Harry Potter and his friends do go to the Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, after all. Many people rationalize reading this book by saying that the main point of the series is not the witchcraft but the life lessons on perseverance, patience, and other positive qualities that Harry and his friends must learn to defeat the dark forces who threaten the Muggle world. This is very true, and I think that the characters of Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the others would make positive literary role models for children. However, it is difficult to ignore the large amount of magic that goes on in the book. In the first few books, it's very lighthearted: the kids ride on brooms to play quidditch, they make things disappear and reappear, and they play other tricks on each other, but as the series progresses, the tone of the books becomes darker, and much more evil "black magic" is used by evil characters. Having read the series as an adult, I was able to enjoy the positive messages and adventurous spirit of the books while ignoring the undercurrent of dark magic, but I feel that some of the scenes, especially in the later books, would be disturbing to young children who cannot tell the difference between fantasy and reality. My final verdict is that these books are not appropriate for young children unless you read and discuss them with your child; they are better suited for teens and young adults.

Just started reading the Harry Potter books for the first time, and as soon as I finished this I literally said out loud to myself “Now I get it” lol I LOVED this. So embarrassed that I am 24 and an avid reader and it took me so long to come around to reading these, but like I said, now I get it! I haven’t even finished the series yet, but I finally understand all the hype! These books are absolutely incredible.

It took me a long time to choose reading this first Harry Potter book. My primary hesitation was that it is a children’s book and I wasn't sure if I wanted to invest the time. I was also concerned about all the attention to its’ occult references. Having finished reading it, I can honestly say that this is a really sweet, compelling story and a pleasant read. Rowling has done a fine job of building a story in the Roald Dahl mode. You know where “certain” adults are simply irredeemably cruel, countered by a truly innocent character. In this case, an innocent Harry Potter is counterbalanced against his cruel Aunt, Uncle and cousin. As I said, like Dahl’s characters, Harry is simply a victim of circumstances but his true character is intact, strong and courageous. There is a confidence about him that seems to give him strength. Like all escapist fantasy, this story just seems to strike a common chord with so many people. I liked it a great deal. Additionally, I think the author does a really good job of introducing us to this otherworldly place of wizards and witches since Harry learns along with us. That being said, and as a Christian, I found constant references to witchcraft, spells and dark magic to be really bothersome. I can accept it as a plot device for the foundation of a fantasy book. The witchcraft and wizardry in this book is similar to that made-for-television witchcraft, in so much that some people have inherited magic genetically while others do not in the variety of Darren and Samantha Stevens. This sort of witchcraft simply doesn’t exist in reality. Real witchcraft is dark and sad. I am concerned that undiscerning kids would take their fascination with the story and explore the real thing. With all that in mind, I would have loved this series when I was a kid. I’ll allow my children to read it when they can discern (they’re too young to read now anyway). I would suggest that parents read it too. I think it's important to be involved in your kids’ activities and this is certainly a very quick read. People who criticize this series for occult content based on presuppositions without reading it should be ashamed. It is a good piece of work and not worth the negative attention. Though Rowling is probably experiencing the truth of the phrase, “There is no such thing as bad publicity.” I’ll look forward to the movies.

What is NOT-TO-LOVE about any of the Harry Potter books or films? Author J.K. Rowling NAILS IT in every way. Her portrayal of a young wizard and all that surrounds him is wondrously fantastic as high fantasies go. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the stories, and her ability to capture the pure essence of growing up amongst the many peers of our times. This story as well all of her Harry Potter stories are absolutely well worth the read and see. See the films too. I have all of them, and enjoy reading the novel and then seeing the film that followed. It's a great look into how the novels were transpired...blended into films. From white... to sight! *Cheers* always NIS And besides... "Potter" happens to be a family name of mine. So there! :--)

I'm wondering when I actually purchased this book? My son just finished his book September 19, 2017. He is in the fourth grade now. The teacher said it is a lovely book, but she does not recommend him reading it anymore. She said it is a level Z book and my son is on level R as of 3rd grade. He is now on the second book chamber of secrets. We are a Harry Potter fans here.

I am 24 years old and I have just recently discovered the Harry Potter series. I grew up in a conservative household and Harry Potter was banned when I was a child. Now that I am an adult my beliefs are much more liberal than that of my family. I heard one of my friends (who is almost 20 years my senior) talking about how much she likes the Harry Potter series, so I decided to rent the Sorcerer's Stone movie. I liked it so much that I immediately ordered the book. I started reading it and found that it was really hard to put it down. I finished it this morning and I love the book. The story really draws you in. I found myself really empathizing with Harry and always wanting to find out what would happen next. I liked it so much that I ordered the second book. Thankfully it should be here tomorrow, because I cannot wait to "visit" Hogwarts again! To those who believe that Harry Potter is "Satanic": There is nothing satanic or evil about this book. I urge you to read the books and watch the movies before you judge them.

We are reading this book together as a family during this pandemic and then we plan to watch the movie at the end of it all. So far, we are 3 chapters in and everyone has enjoyed sitting around discussing the characters, themes and what we think is going to happen next!

Harry Potter is just an average boy. Average...until he stops the most powerful dark wizard in a century in his tracks as a baby! Since then, the name Harry Potter is known all through the wizarding world. Harry Potter is famous for stopping Voldemort. Harry's parents are killed by Voldemort, and Voldemort tried to kill Harry, but failed. This is why Harry is Famous. He's the hero who stopped the dark lord. Harry then gets drop off at his Aunt's and Uncle's house by Albus Dumbledore. Harry is less than famous at Privet Drive. In fact, he's close to being invisible in the Dursley household. He never gets any mail, doesn't have any friends, and his life is pretty much miserable under the stairs where he lives. All that chages when Harry gets a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry finds out that he is a wizard, and his parents were wizards (duh!). And so, Harry goes to Hogwarts. There, he makes some friends (and enemies). A great read for both kids and aldults!

There has been a lot of fuss about "satanic" elements in the Harry Potter novels, so I was careful to read this book before passing it along to my nephew as a Christmas gift. Frankly, I didn't find any reason for concern: the book is very much in the tradition of such children's classics as Baum's Oz novels, which have featured witches, sorcerers, goblins and the like without ever once being accused of satanic overtones. The major difference between such as the Oz books and Harry Potter is that Oz--and others like it--are set in a completely imaginary world, while Harry Potter is not. While this is probably the very thing that its detractors find most upsetting, it is actually the very thing that makes the book so much fun to read, for its fantasy elements take on a literal quality that allow for the willing suspension of disbelief in a way not previously seen in books written for children. It is a very sophisticated bit of writing, and I look forward to reading the other books in the series myself. These are not, by the way, books written for young children. Most six and seven year olds will be completely out of their depth. They are more appropriate to the ten-year-old and over crowd, who will have less difficulty reading them on their own.

I'm 46 and male who works out and thinks he's macho and I've read this book 4 times. If you have a stressful job like me where you can't relax, read the HP books. They put you in a fantasy world and JK Rowling's storytelling is so unbelievable and descriptive, she's the best. I got this series for my father after my mother passed away. They were married 69 years and he was grieving. This is not his kind of book but after reminding him how much my mother loved them, he agreed to read them and agrees it puts him in another world and helps him gain peace.

My niece started reading this book immediately after it arrived. She normally doesn’t like to read, so this was a wonderful surprise. The book is a little advanced for her reading level, and so she stopped after the first chapter. But she keeps it on her bookshelf to read when her skill level is higher. I’m so happy this book encouraged her to read!

I just read all the Harry Potter books again (in my 40s now) and for some reason I was missing this first one in the series. It is very simple and sweet and short in comparison to the rest of the books. They progressively get better in my opinion. I prefer the British versions for their authenticity, but altogether it is a very enjoyable series. My very religious brother did not want his kids to read them until I informed him that it is the same story at "Star Wars" (which he loves), just with 'magic' instead of the 'Force'.

I never read the Harry Potter books before, we had only seen the movies and were curious to see how they line up with each other. While the movies are almost exactly like the book- the books give you extra depth that makes the movies all the better! So even if you know the story from seeing the movies, you will really love reading the book and then noticing all of the subtleties that are addressed in the book and then just casually happen in the movie. I really recommend it! We read the book and then when we got about half way in we watched the movie too! GREAT book- we ended up buying the whole set of them hardback a few weeks later!

Bought my first copy of this when my 14 year old was only an infant, and as I have no idea where it is now, bought this one for my 9 year old who devoured it in days. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first book in the amazing series by JK Rowling chronicling the adventures and story of young Harry, a wizard brought up in the non-wizarding Muggle world. He is learning of his past and being warned about enemies that he didn't even know existed in this book, also making friends that will stay with him and help him through the years to come. PS - still waiting on my letter to Hogwarts

I'd heard about the furor over whether the Harry Potter books were suitable for children, and so I welcomed the opportunity to read it when the lady sitting next to me on an airplane let me borrow it for the flight. (Fortunately it's light reading and I'm a fast reader.) Our conclusions were the same: it certainly *is* suitable for children, and adults as well. It's fun, light, and describes the activities of a schoolboy trying to be good (probably harder than most real schoolboys). Personally, I saw no hint of any of the darker aspects I've heard ascribed to it; I rather suspect the ascribers hadn't read it, but were jerking their knees over 'hot-button' words like 'magic' and 'sorcery.' I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to *anyone*, of any age.

Unless you have lived under a rock for the past five years, you know who Harry Potter is. You know that he is a young wizard who attends a magic school called Hogwarts. You also know that Harry wears black horned rimmed glasses and has a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead. In the five years since it was published, the book has become a phenomenon as wide spread as Star Wars or Star Trek. But with any series that is popular, there is a chance that the book is mediocre and is popular due to a huge advertising campaign. However, after having read it, I have concluded that the series is popular for one very good reason: it is good. Harry Potter is able to live the dreams of people everywhere. He is able to escape the dullness and the pain of the real world and journey to a world where witches, wizards, dragons, and magic exist. Who hasn't wished that he or she could use magic or fly? Reading about magic and dragons causes the reader to have a sense of wonder that never disappears throughout the book. The characters are good as well. Harry is a believeable character, as are his friends Ron and Hermonie. They are likeable people and you actually root for them. The descriptions of magic are good as well and never lose the sense of wonder. All in all, this is a very good book and I definitely recommend you read it.

I can't wait to give this book to my grandson for Christmas. He is six years old and his class is all about Harry Potter EVERYTHING right now. He has seen the first movie and will love reading this with his mom. Unfortunately, they live on the other side of the country.... I wish I could be the one reading with him.

I'm late to the Harry Potter party, but I guess it's better late than never. I bought a used copy to read to my kids at bedtime, and we all loved it. The writing is sharp and funny, and had us laughing out loud. Harry Potter's wizard world was so beautifully described, it seemed more real than our own lives, at times. I can see why this was such a big deal when it came out almost 20 years ago -- it's a great book, especially for the middle grade set. Glad we finally got on board the Hogwarts Express!

Too bad there ain't one hundred stars. I would have rate it a hundred! J.K. Rowling is a amazing author, she writes alot of short stories, but Harry Potter was the first story that she punblish (I am glad she did). This story is about an orphan named Harry Potter, whoes been send to his mothers sister to take care of. His aunt and uncle and of course his big fat pig cousin was so mean to him, and his has to sleep under the cupboard for eleven years, until he recieves an letter from Hogwart School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, and notice that his and wizard, also notice that his parents are killed by the powerful dark wizard Voldemont (also known as you-know-who, no one speaks its name). Harry meets his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and they follow Harry's adventure........The next is you to find out! Peoples you got to read this book!

Best book ever!!! I am ten years old and my mom read all these books to me. I have loved them since the moment my mom started to read them to me. Now I read them on my own and I still love them. I just love all the characters like Harry,Hermione,Ron,Hagrid,and Dumbledore. I even love the bad characters such as Snape,Dudley,and Mrs.and Mr.Dursley. I just love all the magic and spells it is just so awesome. I recommend this book for all ages from 8 and up. (Moms you can and really should read this book to your 5 year olds and six year olds.)

This book is my favorite of all the series. It was such an escape from reality years ago when my mom bought it for me. Having Type 1 diabetes, I felt different, as no family member has every had it in history. It helped me not feel alone, and that something so heartbreaking makes you stronger. I realized that though I felt alone, having people accept you and love you, depletes it. JK Rowling is inspiring, and just wow. She's helped a lot of people love to read and help depressed human beings.

This is a story of a young boy who is left to live with his undesirous extended family after his father and mother die when he is one year old. His upbringing is not a pleasant one but does not affect Harry Potter negatively. When Harry is older he is whisked away to a school that will teach him wizardry and help him connect to his past. While at school Harry learns skills that help him fight an evil that is forever present. This book was full of adventure, mystery, and entertainment that pulls the reader into the story. I rated this book 5/5 stars and highly recommend it.

I know these were supposed to be childrens books, but what can I say? This book reminded me a bit of "The Chronicals of Narnia" in that they begin in a Dreary grey repressive British household and then gradually move into an enchanting world full of excitement, fun and even danger! Poor Harry Potter, trapped with his relatives, the Durdsleys who make him sleep under the stiars while their own son has two bedrooms. Then one day he starts receiving letters which they do not allow him to read. However everytime they throw them out the next day more an more keep appearing, under the door, down the chimmney, through the window. Harry finally discovers that he has been admitted to the Hogwarts school of Wizardry, where his long dead parents first met. All this is unknown to him and begins one of the most fun stories of the year!

I put off reading these books for years, but now that I've taken the plunge, I could not be happier! Book 1 is whimsical, funny, and heart-warming. Colorfully written with realistic dialogue and an impressive array of craftsmanship, "Sorcerer's Stone" is NOT just for children. Anyone who can appreciate magic, good writing, and all things imaginative will be glad that they picked up this book - regardless of their age or predilection towards perhaps more serious literary fare. I have already ordered Book 2 and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.

I loved this book, but when I read of the Sorcerer's Stone I had a nagging feeling about it at the back of my mind, until it struck me that all the descriptions of it matched what I had always known as a Philosopher's Stone. I first learned of the Philosopher's Stone when I was 10 years old and read a book called "Gone-Away Lake" by Elizabeth Enright, and then of course read more of it when studying European history. As the Encyclopedia Brittanica puts it: "in alchemy, substance thought to be capable of changing base metals into gold. The same term, more fully elixir vitae, "elixir of life," was given to the substance that would indefinitely prolong life--a liquid that was believed to be allied with the philosopher's stone." I was quite confused, but then I discovered that it England the book *was* originally called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". This title makes so much more sense. What the heck is a sorcerer's stone? Nothing. Why the change? Does Scholastic Books just think American's are dumb, ignorant fools? I can't think of any other reason for the change. I do know that from now on I will buy my copies of the books from the British publisher, rather than the "dumbed down" American versions put out by Scholastic.

MY GOSH this book is amazing! The writing is superb, it's a good length, and the writing is easy to understand from a young point of view. The book also has a very interesting idea of wizards and witches that tends to give them less of the stereo type of "old lady in a hut with a big wart on her nose". I hope everyone reads this series at some point in their life, because they need to!

bought as a gift for my nephew who had been begging me for my harry potter books. I am not giving that kid MY harry Potter books, I mean I love him, but I love my Harry Potter too. I didn't even let my daughter read MY Harry Potter books... She's rough on books, she got her own set. SO yeah, great story. I'm expecting my owl any day now with my letter saying I have been accepted into hogwarts and I can leave the dreary world of muggles behind.

I have already read the seven books of HP like 4 times and I decided to do my English 10 honors assignment on HP because I love HP. I didn't own any books and I don't have a library and even though I checked out a book, I can't make notes on it for annotations. SO I decided buy it and when it got here, can I just say AMAZING. There were no dents, marks, ripped pages, or anything like that. It really looks like I just bought it from a bookstore. It feels, looks, and even SMELLS like a brand new book that was not used. I love it!

I read this book as a child and I loved the adventure this story takes you on. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is well written. JK Rowling does and excellent job in making you feel and understand the characters of the story and the reader really connects with Harry. My nephew was thrilled to receive this as a christmas gift.

I had to buy a new set of Harry Potter books because my old ones got destroyed, and this is exactly like the one I had when I first started reading them!

I was a little skeptical with the reviews showing missing pages, but nothing is wrong with my copy.

Bought as a gift for my tween (11) daughter after she powered through all the movies the other day and expressed interest in reading the novels. She's already teasing my other tween daughter with all the new info that didn't make it into the films, laugh.

This is a nice affordable copy of this book. It arrived in pristine condition.

I was aware of some of the controversy surrounding this series and so decided to read it to my children myself, rather then letting my 8 and 10 year old read it alone. I am very glad I did. The story is captivatng from the start, and we all enjoyed it thouroughly. We took plenty of pauses and breaks to let the storyline sink in, stopping to discuss what was happening and why, and what we thought might happen next. My kids loved the challenge, and I liked watching them mentally engaged,their minds working. No one was bored. The storyline is fairly complex, with many characters and subplots. I strongly suggest this book be read as a family. We can't wait to start the next.

Got this for my mom because she said she would read the series for me because I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. Hope she loves it too! Came early and made a good gift.

Ordered it for my son. He is on a state sponsored vacation and wanted something to read

Not a HP fan. Purchased for a class.

Missing 33 pages!!!!! Goes from page 120 to page 153.

My granddaughter loves this book.

If your children are in an "Accelerated Reader" program at school and looking for books to keep them interested while improving their AR level .. look no more. The Harry Potter series is exactly what you'll need. My daughter meets her goals before everyone in the class and asks for more books. It was a very good decision to purchase this.

Gift but duplicate so returning

book was what i wanted love it

Great book for a great price

Fast delivery, great otherwise, just no protective package to keep this from happening. Sad there’s already a crease on the front but otherwise good.

I would have to stand in a very long line to make my review of this book heard. How can you improve on a classic work of pure genius? I will never forget how my first sight of the boats approaching Hogwarts in the movie was so exactly like my image of it in the book, that it worked a little magic of its own. We all want to believe in magic and in the underdog who becomes the hero. This is not just 'the boy who lived.' This is the book that lived.

Ordinary kids doing supernatural things. A baby is orphaned when his parents are killed by a wizard. The baby is brought up by a mean aunt and uncle, who denigrate his parent's magic and favor their own son over him. Because he survived the wizard's attack, he is famous and invited to attend a boarding school, an ordinary English school, except they teach potions and spells. The hallways are haunted by ghosts. The hero must solve a mystery and overcome another attack. I laughed, cried and gasped in amazement. As Shaw implied, is all this wasted on the young?

I'm an elderly grandmother and read this because the grandchildren were reading it. I think it is better for young audiences.

my daughter's first novel series. she's completely hooked, of course. She is a bit on the sensitive side, so before we started reading it to her (age 6), we explained there were going to be some scary parts, but that Harry would be ok. That helped a lot, as she hasn't complained about it being too scary. After finishing a book, we let her watch the movie version.

This was a gift. My friend loves the series.

Great price! Buying used books is the way to go. I love having many options when I want to purchase a book but don’t want to spend a lot of money. I was very pleased with the condition of this book! Will buy from this seller again!

Great book for a 10 year old

Fast and easy

This is the book that started it all! By now you've seen the film. I finally got around to reading this cleverly packaged fast paced fantasy. The next time you see Owls flitting about you, stop and listen. Perhaps you are being summoned to the next meeting of the Hogwarts. The book approaches familiar themes of injustice to fragile, vulnerable children by transforming them into gifted beings. A little "divine intervention" keeps the action sparkling, crisp and "rights" a lot of "wrongs".If you liked both this book and the film, make sure you see "SHREK". It is another action filled fantasy.

my son like

My daughter loves this book.

Building new collection for kids to carry with them

My daughter is finally getting into these books and I love it. They use to be my favorite stories and love the movies!

When I first saw Harry Potter in the book stores, I didn't know what the fuss was about. It went on for a few months when I decided to pick up the book and read the first few pages of the story. I was hooked on the book. I bought all four books that same day. Later, I learned that my 10 year old cousin Anthony was crazy about Harry Potter books. We have chatted about the future stories concerning Harry Potter and wondering what the movie that is to come out in a few weeks would be like. This book and series is not just for kids but for adults too.

My daughter loves this book! An all time favorite; the entire series! Great for casual reading and lesson plans for homeschooling. There are free guides and lesson plans all over the Internet for these books.

We read these books each night for bedtime and my girls are really starting to get into books thanks to the fantastic drawings. It’s like reading the books again for the first time (and I’ve read them many times over before this, love this series)

Unite

It's an excellent book for your advance students in your classroom, who needs to be challenged. It's for your students who finishes everything first. It motivates them to do their best. So, they can continue to read in class during Drop Everything And Read time. My third grade students loves it!

Great book. Read this many years ago. Bought it this time to read it to my budding reader. He loves it. It will always be will be a classic.

This book came in perfect condition. I got it for my fiance who is rebuilding his Harry Potter and the wizarding world collection. He loves it.

For my nephew he loved it

Really good

My son is in the third grade and wants to read something a bit more challenging so we’re starting with Harry Potter, one of my favorite books of all time!

I've read this for the second time amazed by how much I didn't remember. This book and the movie are very similar. The beginning of this book sets up a reader needing to read more of it. From the start I was a Harry Potter fan. As Harry is introduced to the wizarding world I found myself wishing I was in Diagon Alley buying my magical school supplies preparing to head off to a whole new world. Each character is drawn out to the readed nicely. No reader, any age, would have trouble imagining this world and all the adventures Harry has. This is defiantly a book I will read more than twice.

Great condition! Love this entire series.

This one is a classic. I'm reading it to my daughter who is only 8 years old but loves the idea of getting into the Harry Potter universe. Soon she'll be old enough to read it, but for now it's gearing her up to read it herself and building her excitement. Great series, great movies, and great books.

I got this for my daughter as the first one got damaged. She has all the books now. A strong Harry Potter fan!

*sigh of relief* I am so relieved that this book came just as described. This was the last book of the Harry Potter 7-book series that I needed and I'm extremely relieved and grateful that I didn't get any unwanted surprises! Thanks!

When I first read this book 12 years ago, I was all of 12 years old. I'd never really been into books at that point in my life, but apparently my mom thought that that ought to change. One night, a copy of this book showed up on my nightstand, with a note saying that this book was apparently quite popular with boys my age. Reluctantly, I began to read it, and was unexpectedly sucked in to a world of magic the likes of which I'd never quite imagined. I churned through it quickly, and read it several times over, eagerly anticipating the release of the next book. As much as I enjoyed it, when I learned that my girlfriend hadn't yet shared the experience, I decided to buy her a copy for Christmas. She recently finished it, and now I'm rereading it. Gotta say, the book's just as good as I remember it being all those years ago.. I would recommend it to anybody.

This book was definetly the best book I have ever read. The author dosn't just give a great story, but she describes the characters at such great lengths that you feel like you know them by the end. The following books are equally good, they are a must read for anyone who can understand imagination and who can suspend their disbelief. The moment you open the book, it takes you to a different world, and that's what I love about it. I can't wait until the next book comes out. Take my advice, and read this book. I would also advise buying it, because you probably will want to read it more than once!

This is the first in a series of seven books. It's a great start and a wonderful way to introduce the characters, the setting, and the conflict. The next books in the series are better in that they start to more fully develop the characters, intensify the danger, and darken the conflict. I have read this book many, many times, including reading it in other languages, and I am well into my 30's. It's a nice way to lose yourself for a few hours into a fantasy world that you can just almost believe is real.

Came in great condition

every harry potter book is one more adventure. well- written. does not scurry through the book, but takes time to keep in order and place. you watch harry and his friends grow up andlive a magical adventure.

I love the Harry Potter books. I have read through the series quite a few times. So I decided to get the books. This book was in great shape. However, on the back, there was not a background picture, just a blank color. Not a big deal, just kinda disappointing

Got the first 3 . Starter into the world of Harry Potter . Non hard cover

The book was in perfect condition when I received it. Was so happy to be able to start reading!

I read this book when it first came out many years ago and didn't finish it. It wasn't for me- i was YA. My grandson recently told me he hated reading- so I suggested we read a book together. I was apprehensive about choosing HP, but I figured maybe he would enjoy it, even If I didn't. I have to say, we are having the best time! We started the series in February, and we read a chapter a night over Facetime. We are on Book 6 already and I am dreading finishing the series. I adore this book and admit to reading ahead after we finish our chapter. Harry and the crew are so likable, Rowling took her own Sorting Hat- filled it with monsters and fantastic creatures and manages to pop them into each book with delightful results. While I was afraid so of the plot was too dark for my eight year old- he seems not to be upset or scared. It has opened the doorway to our imagination and we are having a wonderful bonding experience. The best thing to happen, was for my reading hating grandson to go up several levels of reading in school and insist we read together every night. It is not only my favorite activity, but his as well. Thank you J.K. Rowling!

I bought this for my niece to discover the world of Harry Potter just as I did. I am so excited for her read this first book!!! The book is beautiful and came just as expected!

I got hooked on Harry Potter. This is a paperback, so you can keep your hardcover collectibles under wraps.

The book is in amazing condition and I am sure my grandson will cherish it for years to come. I am starting his first HP collection and this is exactly what I was looking for.

I have been a potter fan since they came out. This book was for my daughter so she can start her own collection.

"Harry" is the "Huck Finn" for the Millenium generation. Kids as young as 5 years old can listen to this story a chapter at a time and can't wait til the next chapter is read. Older kids are challenged by vocabulary and newly defined words. As they grow, they will re-read these books and notice the depth of the story and the eternal struggle of good against evil. Especially in these trying times, good triumphs over evil, and a child helps to that end...empowerment! Someday, as parents, they will relate to their offspring by introducing them to our "Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Dumbledore, Snape, Fluffy, Hagrid and then there are the Muggles.......as classic as "Nancy Drew"or the "Hardy Boys" solving mysteries, Harry Potter is a triumph of J.K Rowling's brilliant imagination!

Loved this book. Seller was fast and so was my reading.

Harry Potter came to my attention when a group of 10 year olds I work with told me it was their favorite book. I read it and went on to read book 2,3, & 4. Harry Potter is so well written that I would never consider it just a children's book. This is a rare book that both children and adults can enjoy together. The imagery and imagination of J.K. Rowling shines through on every page. A must-read for anyone who has a bit of kid left in them!

The first book is so outstanding,loved by all ages.

Will be great for my grandson Good price. Timely delivery

I love the series, this was to replace my old very worn version

This book was in perfect shape, and great price! This book is incredible but you probably already knew that

Already had some wear and tear. But didn’t take away from the magical world of Hogwarts. Finished the book quickly.

Who doesn’t love this series? My son just recently got into it so I had to order him this book. It came in perfect condition!

Love this book ! Bought this to read again ! Love the books and movies ! Came quickly and easily!

I wanted to try some Harry Potter, but it's not to my taste. Very well written, however.

For my granddaughter she loves it

Excellent. Beyond excellent. I put off reading Harry Potter books for years. Then I watched the films and I was captivated. I just finished this book last evening, and I must say that the book is even better than the movie! That's saying something! I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I can't recommend this book enough!

When my son fold back the page a little it rip to be sure to use a book Mark

El libro es entretenido e interesante. Mi hijo dijo que es un poco largo pero vale la pena leerlo.

I donated this to my public library because it didn't have the title on its shelf anymore - lost items.

I loved the speedy delivery and the quality of the book. The only thing I did not like is the product's sticker on the back. I believe it should be possible to take off and not leave a trace, but all in all, I am very pleased and satisfied with my purchase.

Great condition. Can’t wait to read this to my kids.

Came new and perfect condition!!

Amazing

It perfect and brand new.

Bought for my daughter and she really liked it!

It Harry Potter, obviously it's good.

My daughter loves it when we read this to her.

I have had this book on the shelf to read for a while and finally picked it up and read it. Let me say from the minute I picked it up I didn't want to put it down. It was truely a book for all ages, and thoroughly well written. I can't wait to read the rest of the series, I am hooked now and there is no stopping me. I can't wait to have children to read these stories to.

My niece recieved 3 Harry Potter books for Christmas. She read the first one in one night!

Recieved as expected

Nice quality, item as described

My son LOVES Harry Potter books & movies. The books have so much more detail than the movies, that for such a great price I couldn't pass this deal up. My son is now wanting ALL of the Harry Potter books. This is a great book to get those kids who aren't that interested in reading, REALLY interested. The son who I purchased this book for almost NEVER likes to read, but this is one book he LOVES to read. As an aside, reading Harrp Potter, or Fantasy books will not give your son or daughter "demon issues". If books with Wizards and magicians did that I and all of my friends who read "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" would have "demon issues" as well. LOL!

My grandson loves this book. This is his third Harry Potter book.

Come on it’s harry Potter it will always get a great rating

Perfect

Great

This is a present. Came very fast.

Gave this as a gift. Arrived in excellent condition.

I love these books

Perfect.

Love the book it just took forever to arrive.

Awesome series! Must read for everyone!

My daughter love it

This is the first book of many in the Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling. I absolutely loved this book. I was actually scared for Harry Potter and the information that he was told about his parents, not being fully accepted by his Aunt, Uncle, and his cousin. I like stories where characters are living one life and then they come into another life that is completely opposite from what he grew up with. I absolutely loved reading this book and I look forward to reading the others. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone that likes fantasy, wizards, magic in their stories. This is a good read.

Love this book this is my first time reading the harry potter books but I’ve always loved the movies i plan to buy all 8☺️

This adventures book is about a young boy who has no knowledge of magic, sorcery, and evil encounters. Harry potter only knows of an abusing life with his selfish and destructive aunt and uncle, and their repulsive son, Dudley. However, one winters evening harry received a letter brought by a mysterious bleached white owl, that was inviting him to a remarkable place called Hogwarts. Harry was soon to discover a world he has never known, a world of magical experiences, and things he has only dreamed of. There he will discover his love for magic, friends, and much more. Harry will now realize his destiny that has been awaiting him, but it will take a lot of strength and courage to overcome the challenges he will face. In this book, the experiences were as real as it could get. I felt so intrigued; I felt a connection with this novel. My personal connection to this book was with Harry's best friend, Ron Weasley. I felt this connection because Ron is Harry's greatest friend and Ron help harry with everything, he would do anything for harry. He was an astounding friend to everyone. Ron wasn't the most courageous but throughout the book and the series he found his bravery and showed it and became something of himself. When you read this book, if you felt as connected and as fascinated, as I was than these are the books for you. Harry potter is a 7 book series and consists of the most invigorating adventures and encounters. However, there are other books than the Harry potter series, books that harry potter readers would enjoy would be "the lord of the rings trilogy" or "the hunger games". I think readers would enjoy these other novels because they are exciting and in depth and overflowing with detail on every page! You cannot go without reading these if you enjoyed harry potter and the sorcerer's stone. This book is honestly such a great book, and I'm not just saying that. I am not the biggest reader out there, and I can't say this about most books but I completely loved this book and the rest of the series. Every time I read this book I feel like I'm in Hogwarts and I never want to leave! Every page is like a storm of detail and excitement. Every chapter is a new adventure and a new piece of the story, and right when you start you just want to find all the pieces. This book is like being in a world where anything can happen, and you can make it happen. I vastly encourage you to read this novel, and once you do I promise you will unquestionably love it.

Great!

Arrived as expected

Can’t go wrong with Harry Potter. Bought this as a replacement for our very loved, very used first copy.

THANK YOU

Exactly what I was looking for

I was buying for someone else. Came in perfect condition and read the first chapter to them.

It took me way too long to get around to reading the book. I've been a fan of the movies for so long now, but the book is truly a different experience

Bought this for my niece and she loves it.

I mean...it's HP.

A gift for my grandson

I read reviews on this book that states it had illustrations. This book does not .

Very satisfied!

Many pages are not printed well. I can hardly read. Seems like the printing company ran out of ink.

great product

I liked this book, it was made very well and good quality.

I received the book in great condition, all pages included, brand new. Highly satisfied.

Love the Harry Potter series. This is a perfect book for any age to enjoy.

You can't go wrong with Harry Potter. I got this because my sister and I shared a collection, and then we both moved from home and she took it. I love the series so much I got this because I wanted to reread it. I read this when I was in elementary school, and find it just as wonderful as a graduate of college years later. JK ROwling is an incredible author. I'd recomend this book to anyone in any age group, but I'm really looking forward to reading it to my future babies. THe characters are amazing, the plot is amazing, the setting is amazing.... basically there's nothing wrong with this book at all.

Good book condtion

I am stationed in South Korea with my husband and we don't have the luxuries of a book store close to us so we have to resort to online purchases. Usually we get things about 6 weeks after we order them, but it was not the case here. I placed my order and in less than 2 weeks the package was here. I'm very happy with the product as well. I'm happy that they are paperback and that I can complete my set now. Love the books and just happy all around.
