Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

"The book that made me fall in love with reading at a young age. "

"I was already a 20 something year old but my sister who is 11 years younger wanted this book so much. I wanted to know what was the hype about. Read it and enjoyed it. I still have my sister’s old copy from that time. 20+ years old. I am a total HP fan. Team Gryffindor all the way!"

"This came out when I was in high school and of course I adored it but I can’t imagine how freaking awesome it was to read this as a child."

"It would definitely be a 5 ⭐️ if I was a child and I hadn’t already watched the film. It’s a great book, it’s just too young for my reading taste. "

"It was a really good book!"

"I remember reading this when I was in fifth grade and thinking this was the hardest book to read?? It was short and cute this time around. Not much detail but I can still feel the magic all these years later"

"Book 1 HP Series- This series will always be my favorite! A boy learning he was a wizard and saving the world. Themes of light and dark and grey areas. Fun love stories and crazy adventures! "

"I’ve said this for the movie version,but my only experience with this book/franchise was when I was about 7 years old and I couldnt understand/it was too hard for me so I put it down and tried watching the movie and it put me to sleep."

"I haven't picked up the HP and the Sorcerer's Stone in about 15 years. A few days ago I got the urge to read the entire series from the beginning, rewarding myself with each movie along the way! Not only had I forgotten so many things in the book, but I have forgotten how little everyone was back then!<br/>This novel is definitely worth the read if you have seen the movies, because even in the lengthy films, it was impossible to capture the entire story, as written, and so many more things happen that you don't know about!<br/><br/>I think age-wise it is appropriate for a child with good reading skills at age 8 (about third grade), age 9 if your child is still gaining confidence with chapter books. (They will most likely need help with some of the names as they are uncommon, some other random passwords and spells may be difficult too.)<br/><br/>Plot:<br/>This book is about an eleven-year-old boy who finds out at in rather uncouth manner the truth about who he is. He is a wizard, one that is famous and has been accepted to a school of magic. It's quite a magical world that you are taken into, filled with magical creatures, spells, potions, broomsticks, curses, and SO much more.<br/><br/>If you like fantasy or magic this is a book I would recommend. It's a book that even many people that aren't usually a fan of fiction have loved. So, if you haven't given it a shot...I think you should at least give it a few chapters. Rowling truly takes you inside of an entire world that she was able to create. It's marvelous."

"i read this in class a few years ago and it was pretty good"
