Summary

Librarian note: Two alternate covers for this edition can be found here and here。

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。

What can I say about this book。 Nothing。 The Harry Potter series will always be one of my favorites and this exact book is what got me into reading in the first place。

Soy de las personas que de niño vio las pelis de la saga y ya luego de grande le dio la oportunidad a los libros。 Aunque sea un texto más lo infantil es muy disfrutable y entretenido。

3。5。 Couldn’t bring myself to give it 3 stars though。

Fue uno de mis primeros libros de fantasía que leí y me transportó a un mundo completamente nuevo， me enamore de los libros y la magia。

There's this problem I have with So Much Hype， whether it's books or tv shows。 If I'm not "in on it" right out of the gate， before it's A Thing， I have the worst time with it and I don't know why。 All that to say， it was a bit of a slow start for me， as I waited to make some sort of connection with these characters that so many know and love。 What I liked about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone:The storytelling is rich - Whether or not I was connected to the characters， the depth of the stor There's this problem I have with So Much Hype， whether it's books or tv shows。 If I'm not "in on it" right out of the gate， before it's A Thing， I have the worst time with it and I don't know why。 All that to say， it was a bit of a slow start for me， as I waited to make some sort of connection with these characters that so many know and love。 What I liked about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone:The storytelling is rich - Whether or not I was connected to the characters， the depth of the story is lovely。 It is layered and well-developed， there is no question about that。Owls！ - I am a sucker for owls。 I love that they figure so prominently into the fabric of world。Really good twist - I never suspected who the villain of the story turned out to be。 I fully appreciate a pivot that catches me completely off guard。What I didn't care for:The slow start - I understand needing to lay a foundation but it was a bit sluggish， to be honest。 All of that took away time for me to start forming connections with the characters through immersion in forward motion of the plot。Certain parts felt fragmented - This pertains to the myths and magic。 Some of it just seemed to come out of nowhere and then were expected to be key pieces of the plot。 Sometimes these were leaps where I struggled to keep up。I am by no means underwhelmed by the series。 I'm fully willing to allow it to sweep me up。 I'm not there yet， which may be my own fault for buckling under everyone else just loving the heck out of it， or it may just be that it's my nature to have slow warm-ups when I'm late to the party。 Regardless， I am curious to see what lies ahead at Hogwarts for this unique cast。 。。。more

5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️Okay listen… I’ve always been the Percy Jackson girl。 Very loyal to Percy Jackson over Harry Potter。 Man have I been missing out though。 I love Percy Jackson but why not love ‘‘em both？？ This book was so enchanting I can’t wait to read more。 Got them second hand :）

Oldie， but a goodie！ Want to reread all of the HP books this year - just a great as I remember it being！

Vega ，

Muy buen libro para empezar a leer fantasía。 Es una de las mejores sagas en la cual la trama hace que te enganches y no quieras terminar los libros。 Te sientes identificado con muchos de los personajes y con una de las distintas casa de Hogwarts。

I didn't think I'd enjoy a kids book about kids until my boyfriend bought the collection for my 40th birthday。 He couldn't believe as a bookworm that I hadn't read them already。 I haven't really invested time in reading children's book even when I was a child。 However， I was wrong I have loved this easy to read but well written story。 Believable and robust characters， original magical characters and props。 I'm going to start on the chamber of secrets tonight。 I didn't want to enjoy the book this I didn't think I'd enjoy a kids book about kids until my boyfriend bought the collection for my 40th birthday。 He couldn't believe as a bookworm that I hadn't read them already。 I haven't really invested time in reading children's book even when I was a child。 However， I was wrong I have loved this easy to read but well written story。 Believable and robust characters， original magical characters and props。 I'm going to start on the chamber of secrets tonight。 I didn't want to enjoy the book this much in the light of the authors narrow minded comments towards the trans community， how sad that such a talented writer can lack positive regard for others :-（ 。。。more

Relectura: la anterior vez le puse 3 estrellas pero creo que da muchos guiños que antes no le preste atención。 Una lectura muy vacacional

Increíble， fantástico！！！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I’ve always put off reading Harry Potter books， I was scared that the hype was too much and I would always be disappointed。 Oh my lord this is not disappoint and I wish I had read this a lot sooner than 25 years of age。 I absolutely loved the fact they were giving you clues and giving Harry clues on how he could get the Philosophers Stone without telling him， he could do it。 The invisibility cloak， learning chest and other things all went on to be able to do that and I loved it！ I also loved how I’ve always put off reading Harry Potter books， I was scared that the hype was too much and I would always be disappointed。 Oh my lord this is not disappoint and I wish I had read this a lot sooner than 25 years of age。 I absolutely loved the fact they were giving you clues and giving Harry clues on how he could get the Philosophers Stone without telling him， he could do it。 The invisibility cloak， learning chest and other things all went on to be able to do that and I loved it！ I also loved how it turned out Snape wasn’t really out to kill Harry， he was out to look out for him。 This book kept me hooked all the way until the very end， I was always wondering when I would be able to read the next chapter。 And when Dumbledore made it so Gryffindor won the house cup， I cried， I cried buckets！！ I can’t wait to read the second book！ 。。。more

Joana ，

É UM LIVRO QUE JÁ CONHECEMOS MUITO BEM A PARTIR DOS FILMES！ GOSTEI MUITO！

Pau ，

Me encanta el libro， fué la primera novela de fantasía que leí y me encantó， está genialmente narrado y me gusta mucho cómo ves el cambio mental que tiene Harry desde el principio del libro hasta el final。 Además me encanta cómo hace que quieras leer más y más hasta acabarte el libro。 Me encanta todo el libro la verdad y la saga igual <3。
