  • 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.

  • Haryy Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

  • I just began reading this and I found out I couldn't stop!!!!!!! The books are just FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! So I started a liking for Harry Potter books. My favorite part of this book is when Harry finds out that he is the new Gryffindor seeker for Quidditch.

  • A great story book.

    Let me say that I usually just write whatever that comes to my mind here. I don't always attempt to write a commentary/critic sort of thing; quite often it's just some personal thought/experience loosely connected to the book, and this is the case here.

    A great story book.

    Let me say that I usually just write whatever that comes to my mind here. I don't always attempt to write a commentary/critic sort of thing; quite often it's just some personal thought/experience loosely connected to the book, and this is the case here.

    This is a children's book. The story is supposed to be like a fantasy. What if the world is powered by magic? The author has painted a picture that is ten times more fun for the kids than our real world.

    Yes, there is a Dark Lord who's a serial murderer, but you can't deny that the main point of the story is about the magical world.

    With these impression after my first read, I was actually quite surprised by beginning when I re-read the book. Recall how Harry was taken by Hagrid, and how the Dursleys were intimidated?

    I read pure horror. The author captured the Dursleys' feeling better than some of the less-than-well-done horror fiction.

    Out of place, isn't it?
