Harry Potter is an orphan who lives in a cupboard at his abusive Aunt and Uncle's house. His life is solitary until a letter arrives telling him that he is actually a wizard and is enrolled in the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Eleven year old Harry had no idea he was a wizard...or that a whole magical world even existed. He is nervous when he arrives at the school, but quickly makes friends with Ron and Hermione, and enemies of a couple of the school faculty.

This is the first book in the Harry Potter series and it is so much more than I expected. J.K. Rowling has written a magical story with vivid characters. Her imagination knows no bounds. In this book alone we are introduced to a Giant named Hagrid, flying broomsticks, centaurs, a three-headed dog named Fluffy, and an invisibility cloak. I can't wait to see what is in store for the next book in the series. My rating: 5 Stars.
