Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone is a fantasy fiction book written by J. K. Rowling published in 1997. Harry Potter is a boy who has yet to uncover the secrets that hold his life. Harry is an 11-year-old boy who lives with his aunt and uncle the Dursleys. They also have a son named Dudley who is Harry’s cousin. The Dursleys despise Harry so much his room his in the cupboard under the stairs with only a small bed and a little light. He wishes he had something better. One day the Uncle Dursleys decide to get out of society because Harry kept on receiving letters from someone. Uncle Dursley obviously didn’t want Harry to open the thousands of letter he receives each day. They then drive out into the middle of nowhere where an island is located. It was so rusted over and very small. They would set up and get some sleep. During the stormy night a big giant hulk like man storms in and scares the Dursleys and Harry half to death. The man’s name was Hagrid. He was apart of Hogwarts. Hagrid storms in and tells Harry that he is a wizard. Which shocked Harry as much as Hagrid shocked Dudley when breaking down the door as soon as thunderstruck. The Dursleys did know that Harry was a wizard since his Dad was top of the academy wizards as well. But they were killed by the dark lord Voldemort when Harry was just a baby. Hagrid tells Harry that he will be attending Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry this coming September first. When the day finally comes to go to the train for Hogwarts Harry is late for the train. As well as can’t find the platform to the train. Platform 9 and 3 quarters, which is unknown to the train station workers. While waiting and has little time to board the train he gets the help of other Hogwarts students. It is hidden in a wall between platforms 9 and 10. In order to enter the platform he has to walk directly into the wall which can seem scary. Harry otherwise does is with ease. When Harry gets to school after the crazy train ride meeting two strangers Ron and Hermione, the new students enter the dining hall where all the older students are sitting. At the front is Professor of the school Dumbledore with other professors on his side. All the students then line up to be sorted into their houses. The sorting hat will decide the house you will belong to. The possible houses are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. When it is Harry’s turn to be sorted the hat can’t decide between Slytherin or Gryffindor. I liked the Harry Potters series. The books lead you on and keep you wanting to read more. I love Fantasy Fiction and Adventure books and this is perfect for that type of reader.
