Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone - Likewise Book Reviews

"This is absolutely my problem and no one else’s.i had only one experience with this book and it was in the 4th grade and it was to hard for me to read so i gave up on it "

"Loved the movies cause I grew up on them, but the books showed me the movies are missing so much. I’m going to see if I can read them all this year. 5/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"I'm a little behind on the harry potter craze, I just started the series so far so good!"

"not my style"

"Starting to dive into the Harry Potter world on the book side to change it up. Enjoyable, quick read that adds more detail than the movies do. Onto the next!"

"Great series to read if you want to get into reading!"

"This is the second time I’ve read this — it has been since middle school!! I am so glad I gave it another go. I CANNOT wait to watch the movies as I keep reading. I love everything about this. It was very easy to visualize as I have already seen the first movie. I love Dumbledore’s character the most. I have so much I could say but I am going to leave this at that! I can’t wait to read this to my (future) children one day. "

"The art in this book is so beautiful!"

"But f*ck JKR"

"5/2022 - Reading the Harry Potter series aloud to my partner. Beginning of a fun journey! "

"“Harry — yer a wizard!” - Hagrid<br/><br/>This book follows Harry Potter, a seemingly ordinary boy, who finds out on his eleventh birthday that he is a wizard. He is invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he learns magic, makes friends, and attempts to uncover the secrets of his past. As Harry navigates this strange new world, he realizes he is famous for surviving an attack by a dark wizard (“he-who-must-not-be-named”) when he was just a baby. While adjusting to this new life at Hogwarts he becomes involved in a mystery surrounding a powerful,magical object within the school. Alongside his friends, Harry must use his new skills to protect Hogwarts, and this new magical world, from danger.<br/><br/>One of the best fantasy adventures ever written! I have always been such a big fan of the movies but I never got around to reading them (young me was more into dystopian themes). I fell in love with the characters and the story all over again this time through written words. I love that the characters each have their own backstory and are developed so well. I can’t wait to dive into the next 6 books! I am going to have to do a move marathon when I finish the books to note the comparisons!<br/><br/>Food: chocolate frogs and every flavor beans<br/>Drink: pumpkin juice and butterbeer"

"I never fully read the Harry Potter till now but have always loved the movies. Reading this was just an even better experience and brought much more enjoyment to the series. Definitely can not wait to see what the rest of the series has in store."

"Great book! A classic and really fun to read."

"Can’t go wrong with the sorcerer’s stone. Great book!"

"I finally read the first book in the Harry Potter series and, naturally, I'm about to do a movie:book comparison because I have questions! So! Where's peeves man? Peeves should've been put into the movie hands down. Also! Where's hermione's blue flame? That would've been a beautiful visual addition to the movie its almost like perhaps they didn't want Hermione over shadowing Harry? One more thing I would've loved to see in the movie would've been Hermione with Snape's potion riddle! #hermioneftw"

"@lauragarcia1 well I like lone bean by Trudy Ross I think "

"4.5*<br/>I’m honest to god so surprised that i still loved this having read it 5 years after my first time. I was hands down obsessed with this series when i was in 5th grade (i mean who wasn’t), and i didn’t think it was possible to have enjoyed it as much as i did then, but i absolutely do. The grammar usage and writing style definitely stick out to me more than when i was 11, but it literally didn’t matter to me at all when i was reading because i was so happy. I was planning on reading the first three books over the span of three months and then stopping because i only ADORE the first three, but this is making me want to reread the whole series now...."
