  • The book that started it all! This book is the book that got me into reading! This book started the HP addiction that lasted a good FOUR YEARS for me! If like being on the edge of your seat, this book is for you.

  • I'm on a mission to try and re-read books 1-6 before 7 shows up in the mail.

    Definitely interesting to re-read this story, especially with the movie flashing in and out of my head. It didn't seem quite the super-stellar masterpiece the second time around, but I did still love it.

When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him. His parents were wizards, killed by a Dark Lord's curse when Harry was just a baby, and which he somehow survived. Escaping from his unbearable Muggle guardians to Hogwarts, a wizarding school brimming with ghosts and enchantments, Harry stumbles into a sinister adventure when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor. Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers which could be valuable, dangerous, or both.
