I'm not being hyperbolic at all when I say that this is definitely, without question, the best thing that has been created during my lifetime. This book taught me how to read, literally.

The first book of Harry Potter. What a wonderful beginning. A nice, brave boy out to save the world,and then it mixes in with magic. It's just the storyline we need these days!

This, the very first harry potter book, has spared an unparalelled phenomenon in the world of entertainment. While many feel the relatively light hearted first installment pales in conparison to the dark and realistic fantasy it spawned, I have a different view.

I find this book has a sort of wonder-a magic, not to put too fine a point on it- that later books, and even more so the movies, lack. The book has plenty of fun for an adult or teen reader, but is told through a wonderously childlike viewpoint. I loved it as a child, and it has a nostalgi and refreshing appeal now, as an adult.

Sure to be a classic for many generations to come.

The first Harry Potter I've read waaay back when it came out hahah. It gives you a great realm to imagine yourself in. I don't know why I stopped reading them, but I really enjoyed Rowling's detail, crazy mind blowing stories and dialouge. Although cliche, A must read for those who enjoy fantasy.

The first book draws you in by the 2nd chapter. You just have to know this boy, and wish with him that the world he knew really is only a part of whats out there.

I have been a Harry Potter fan since about five months after the film of this book came out, and when it first came out in the theatres, the only reasons I watched it were Alan Rickman and Richard Harris. I thought it was a good film, and I would likely have watched the second. But then I borrowed the books, and never looked back.

For me, this story, while not my favorite of the series, really is the beginning of it all. Its truly magical, and I don't think even JK Rowling truly knew what she had until the fervor started surrounding the books.

Starting with Harry's complete ignorance of the wizarding world and going straight through to his battle with Voldemort, the story never falters. These might be kids books, but she doesn't flinch in the least in giving us a real story that has depth and character that can't be denied.

The story itself is like no children's series before it. Most children's series before this focused on one rather small age group of readers, and once the child grew out of that group, they were no longer expected to be interested in the series any longer. And because of that, the stories throughout the series all had generally the same tone and reading level. Once you read one, you pretty much knew what to expect from the rest, even with the changes each subsequent story might make.

Not so with Harry Potter. In this series, Jo actually hoped that her readers would grow up with these books--literally. And each subsequent book not only got darker, but added more detail and richness to Harry's world as he grew older and more aware of what was going on around him. It's one of the things that makes these stories appeal not only to kids, but to adults as well. Even adults who have no children of their own, and haven't been children since long before these books began to be published.

Will likely always be one of my favorite series, flaws and all. A great beginning to a fabulous series.

A Good Read

I read it after the movies, a long time ago. But still - It was a pretty fantastic novel, and J.K. Rowling would be pleased with what one book could do to get so many people watching the Harry Potter movies.
