TGFJKR! Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the beginning of something magical and full of wonder for a reader of any age. J.K. Rowling started an amazing journey with this first book following the survival of one boy who grew up with humble beginnings to be brought into a magical world filled with wizards, witches, trolls, dragons, and much more. 
 Harry James Potter's life has always been an interesting one growing up at 4 Privet Drive. Living under the stairs with his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia with their precious son Dudley. While his life may not seem interesting, Harry is able to do unimaginable things and it's like magic, from growing out his hair to talking to snakes and it isn't until his eleventh birthday that he discovers the truth, Harry Potter is a wizard and not just any ordinary wizard but he is the Boy Who Lived. 
 I was very impressed by the simplicity and complex story line that Rowling weaved together in the first installment of the Harry Potter books. I truly thought that this book would be boring and too easy to read and yet I was proven wrong because I couldn't put the thing down and had to read it until I finished. I am so glad to have listened to my friends who love Harry Potter and began reading because after this first book I've become so hooked.
