Synopsis: Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a cloak of invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years.
But all that is about change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to a wonderful place he never dreamed existed. There he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic around every corner, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him...if Harry can survive the encounter.
Review: I finally found the time to reread the Harry Potter series, and it makes me wonder why I didn't do so sooner.
It's been eight years or so since I first read this book, so I couldn't remember a lot of what happened. I was worried because sometimes rereading the book degrades my opinion of it. But Sorcerer's Stone is still as wonderful as I remembered it. I was laughing and crying and...there are just too many feels going on inside of me right now.
Unless you haven't read the many other positive reviews, read the Harry Potter series!
