REVIEW (max. 150 words):

Harry Potter is an orphan living with his odious uncle and

aunt and their fat son, Dudley; they detest him so much that
they make him live in the cupboard under the stairs, and wish
he didnt exist. One day an envelope arrives addressed to him
announcing that he has been chosen to attend Hogwarts; and so
our magical story begins.
I seldom read fiction; a decision Im so happy to admit is
wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every page and at times
couldnt put it down: one more chapter, I exclaimed inaudibly.
J.K Rowling truly is a wonderful writer. Philosophers Stone
will never cease to be revisited.
First published in 1997 by Bloomsbury. The first printing had
a youthful wizard Dumbledore with a short brown beard,
holding a book and smoking on the dust-jacket; subsequent
editions changed this to a silver long beard to be truthful to
the text.

QUOTES:
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember
that.

RATING: A Must Read. 5 stars.
