I first received this book when I was six, it took me one week to finish. It was the first proper novel I ever read. I've been hooked since, the Harry Potter series is a literacy treasure, and a classic for sure. Even through the hundreds of books i've read, this one stands out on top. J K Rowling is a amazing, and this book is so well written. Its hard to believe someone can fit drama, comedy and fantasy all in one book. I remember the day well I finished this book, it had me gripping the edge of my seat at a New Years Eve Party, and it kept me entertained. This book should be studied at school, it would make my school life that much more interesting.
