Ok, it would be silly to post an actual review of each book in this series, right? Because I am probably one of the last readers (especially of the English teacher variety) to read these books. I read this first book a few years back, but left it at that, ignoring the rest of the series. After teaching several students this past year who were somewhat obsessed with Ms. Rowling and her Harry Potter, I finally decided I needed to start from the beginning and make my way through until the very end this time. It is my duty as an English teacher and my duty as someone who is always looking for ways to better connect with my students.
So here's the quick review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone describes Harry's unfortunate childhood living with his aunt and uncle, the discovery that he is a wizard, and his first year at Hogwart's Academy as Harry and his friends get into all kinds of trouble while also doing some pretty fantastic things in their quest to preserve good over evil. The End.
(I'm hooked.)
I'm glad you're hooked! I hope you review the others as you read them!!
