HARRY POTTER

AND THE SORCERER’S STONE

Harry is an 11 year old boy who lives in a closet at his cruel Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley their selfish son’s house. As the school year starts Harry starts receiving strange letters that read: Mr. H. Potter - The cupboard under the stairs - 4 Privet Drive - Little Whinging – Surrey, but his uncle always takes the letters away angrily before he can read them. A few days later there is millions of letters by the fire place all saying the same thing. After that they drove to a vacant shack on an island to stay there for the night. When they went to bed Harry got the floor. Before he fell asleep he wrote HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY in the dust next to him. That night everyone was awakened by a BOOM at the door, suddenly the door fell down and a giant walked in. “A very happy birthday to yea Harry.” The giant said as he handed Harry a cake that said – Happy birthday Harry, Written in green icing. “Who are you?” Harry replied. I am Rubeus Hagrid, the keeper of keys at Hogwarts. Hagrd stated. “What’s Hogwarts?” Harry said.“Do you mean ter tell me,” he growled at the Dursleys, “that this boy – this boy! – knows nothin’ abou’ – about ANYTHING?” HAGRID roared. After that Harry left with Hagrid to go to Diagon Alley. There he bought his robes, wand, caldron, hat, glove, books, and Hagrid also bought Harry an owl as a birthday present. The time came for Harry to take his train to Hogwarts at platform 9 ¾, but there was one problem……there was no 9 ¾. Then he saw some kids running straight into a post between platform 9 and 10 and then disappearing, so Harry did this also, and as the hit the post he came into another world, and best of all there was a train stopped right in front of him that said Hogwarts Express. While he was on the train he met his first two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. When they arrived at Hogwarts they were sorted into their houses, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione got the Gryffindor House. At Hogwarts he also met his new arch enemy – Draco Malfoy. At Hogwarts that year Harry was a legend. He defeated an ogre, he was the seeker on Gryffindor’s quidditch[1] team, and defeated “the he who must not be named.” If you love adventure and mysteries than I highly recommend this book to you!
