After seeing the movie, I decided to read the books of Harry Potter。 Was surprised that there were things that weren't on screen。 Peeves was one of them。Overall, I like this book so much。 It's better to read this book even after you've seen the movie, you'll be satisfied with the details you can get from this book!

This isn't any ordinary book no no this is Harry freaking Potter we're talking about。 I think what makes this book/the series so special to all ages is that we can relate to these characters in one form or another。 The characters all start with a level of depth in this book that cascades and subsequently builds until the final book (And magic wizards and dragons are pretty cool as well)But really, at the end of the day it's about three friends going on whimsical adventures and the situations the This isn't any ordinary book no no this is Harry freaking Potter we're talking about。 I think what makes this book/the series so special to all ages is that we can relate to these characters in one form or another。 The characters all start with a level of depth in this book that cascades and subsequently builds until the final book (And magic wizards and dragons are pretty cool as well)But really, at the end of the day it's about three friends going on whimsical adventures and the situations they get into are riddikulus。 。。。more

Bewertung: 3。5/5 Das Buch ließ sich extrem schnell und flüssig lesen, doch es gab einige Ereignisse, die für mich keinen Sinn ergaben oder besser hätten ausgearbeitet werden können。 Mit Abstand mein Lieblingscharakter war Hagrid, er ist mir einfach extrem sympathisch in seiner kindlich-ehrlichen Art。
Dareen,
I always enjoy coming back to this book series

This was one of my first novels。 I couldn't put it down before, and I couldn't put it down now。 It's a fantastic read and really grows with children as they age。 This was one of my first novels。 I couldn't put it down before, and I couldn't put it down now。 It's a fantastic read and really grows with children as they age。 。。。more
Catherine,
I am a harry potter lover and I have read and re-read the entire series。 My personal favorite was Goblet of Fire。 The beautiful J。K Rowling brought one of the best done book in the world and I am grateful for it satisfied my boredom
Rania Malik,
Bit slow paced but enjoyable

my whole life literally if you haven’t read harry potter what are you doing
Isa,
Me gusto mucho, lo lei rapido, pero creo no lo volveria a leer a menos que sea por la nostalgia de recordarlo, porque hay que admitir que es un libro para niños
Sharon,
Read the series many years ago, but read it again with my grandaughter。 Even more magical reading it with a 9 year old!
Amy,
After seeing the movies, I knew I had to read the books at some point。 I was expecting them to be great, but I didn't expect them to be such a magical experience。 J。K。 Rowling has a way with words - I can see why there is such a cult following! I can't wait to continue on reading them。 After seeing the movies, I knew I had to read the books at some point。 I was expecting them to be great, but I didn't expect them to be such a magical experience。 J。K。 Rowling has a way with words - I can see why there is such a cult following!

What would you prefer?- Being an orphan, having to live with your grumpy aunt and uncle who don't give you the least bit of attention and a cousin who is nothing more than a bully OR living a pretty simple life with your parents。 Of course, you would pick the 2nd one。 So would Harry, but does life always go how we want?This is the story of young Harry Potter, whose life turns upside-down when strange letters start coming out of everywhere。 On the day he turs 11, a big man shows up, only to tell What would you prefer?- Being an orphan, having to live with your grumpy aunt and uncle who don't give you the least bit of attention and a cousin who is nothing more than a bully OR living a pretty simple life with your parents。 Of course, you would pick the 2nd one。 So would Harry, but does life always go how we want?This is the story of young Harry Potter, whose life turns upside-down when strange letters start coming out of everywhere。 On the day he turs 11, a big man shows up, only to tell him he's a WIZARD! This is a fresh page in Harry's life。 Away from his abusive relatives to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry, with new friends and people to look up to, he finally starts feeling happy。This book is just the perfect pick。 Doesn't matter if the person likes books or not, after reading just a few pages, you feel submerged in the story。 The book doesn't go overboard making the characters special, and you can often relate with Harry or his 2 best friends- Ron and Hermione- who also play major roles in his life。 Being the first novel that I read at the age of 9, I totally feel that this deserves 5 stars。 。。。more

We read The Sorcerers Stone when I was in 3rd grade when it was first released in the US。 Like before I couldn’t put it down。 It was like visiting Hogwarts and being there。 I will always love these books。

Una gioia ad ogni rilettura 😍😍😍
Shannah,
If you love the books, you will be in awe of this illustrated edition。 Miraphora and Eduardo did an amazing job with this version of the book。 It really brought the story to life and I highly recommend this edition。 I purchased both the Philosophers Stone signed edition, as well as the Sorcerers stone to read over and over。 If you haven't checked out this edition yet, definitely do it!

When looking at the Harry Potter books, I find it helpful to split the series into the first three and the last four。 Therefore, I will be comparing this book mainly to the two sequels。I find the first book to be the weakest of the first three books, except in terms of originality - the second book is the worst in that respect, since it's basically just a retelling of this one。
My main issue with this book is the ending: (view spoiler)[it just doesn't feel right that a bunch of first-years are ab When looking at the Harry Potter books, I find it helpful to split the series into the first three and the last four。 Therefore, I will be comparing this book mainly to the two sequels。I find the first book to be the weakest of the first three books, except in terms of originality - the second book is the worst in that respect, since it's basically just a retelling of this one。
My main issue with this book is the ending: (view spoiler)[it just doesn't feel right that a bunch of first-years are able to steal one of the most powerful magical artefacts in existence。 Also, the fact that Dumbledore isn't present at Hogwarts and it takes him a while to get back is retconned by some of the later books with the addition of the Floo network and Apparition。 (hide spoiler)]
However, the book is enjoyable to read, like all of the Harry Potter books。 。。。more

One of the most beautifully crafted stories with great characters of all kind

La noche de insomnio me ha hecho buena compañía, cada vez que vuelvo a esta saga me asoma una sensación diferente y gratificante。Recuerdos, calor, hogar, amistad, Navidad, Veranos。 En cada uno de esos momentos de mi vida ha estado esta saga。Lo curioso es que el primer libro que recuerdo haber tenido era precisamente este, me lo regaló mi padre y no sabía hasta que punto se quedó este recuerdo en la retina; también me acompañó mi padre a la primera biblioteca donde me puse a leer a Harry Potter; La noche de insomnio me ha hecho buena compañía, cada vez que vuelvo a esta saga me asoma una sensación diferente y gratificante。Recuerdos, calor, hogar, amistad, Navidad, Veranos。 En cada uno de esos momentos de mi vida ha estado esta saga。Lo curioso es que el primer libro que recuerdo haber tenido era precisamente este, me lo regaló mi padre y no sabía hasta que punto se quedó este recuerdo en la retina; también me acompañó mi padre a la primera biblioteca donde me puse a leer a Harry Potter; bueno ,ahora es una persona con la que no cuento a mi lado y me vino el recuerdo aquel en el que me regaló este libro, menudos recuerdos sin importancia que terminan por consolarno,y menudas grandes historias hemos descubierto por casualidad; o por el simple hecho del amor de un padre a un hijo。Diría que de los libros de mi vida, sin duda; sería este。 ❤ 。。。more
Ali Alizade,
تا وسطهای کتاب ذوقزده بودم اما بعدش کمکم دلسرد شدم。 از نیمهی دوم به بعد، جیکیرولینگ هی بیخود و بیجهت تعلیق به رمان تزریق میکنه。 تعلیقهایی که مصنوعیبودنشون توی ذوق میزنه و خیلی اوقات برآمده از سیر طبیعی حوادث نیستن。 نمیدونم。 فعلا حس چندان مثبتی به مجموعه هریپاتر ندارم。 شاید باید جلدهای بعدی رو هم بخونم تا بتونم نظر دقیقتری بدم。 ترجمه خوب بود。 。

I did not realize how much I would love this book。 Growing up I watched people read it I always thought it was so childish and dumb。 But it proves you really don’t know anything until you actually try it。 I love this book so much I laughed at everything it made me smile and made me somewhat sad。 It’s a hilarious clever amazing book。 And after I had watched the movies I had thought I’d never wanna read the books。 But recently I decided I wanted too and I was so obsessed I was hooked since the fir I did not realize how much I would love this book。 Growing up I watched people read it I always thought it was so childish and dumb。 But it proves you really don’t know anything until you actually try it。 I love this book so much I laughed at everything it made me smile and made me somewhat sad。 It’s a hilarious clever amazing book。 And after I had watched the movies I had thought I’d never wanna read the books。 But recently I decided I wanted too and I was so obsessed I was hooked since the first sentence never have I been so obsessed I loved this book so much and I’m so glad I decided to read it。 I can’t wait for the next one。 。。。more
