  • 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.

Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to catch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility.
All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley, a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is in a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years.
But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry - and anyone who reads about him - will find unforgettable.
For it's that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.
