HARRY POTTER AND THE STONE'S PHILOSPHER


               Everything that made Harry Potter so successful is all first shown, though not yet fully explained, in this book, HARRY POTTER AND THE STONE'S PHILOSPHER. This novel story begins with Harry living under the cupboard with the rough aunt and uncle. He has had a life, then depression, and even a child who is active and smart, the sheer amount of trauma he must bear the scar any child would. But the door opened out of this lifestyle. I once read an interesting theory (obviously not true), that a writer who is much different from Rowling will end Book 7 with Harry having imagined all this fantasy world, where he was so prominent and famous, to help escape neglect and abuse of family Dursley. Harry gets a letter (actually, hundreds) saying he is actually a witch. So he enrolled at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Magic. He, along with his new friend the giant Hagrid, go to Diagon Alley, a magical market, and thus he is thrust into the magical universe so that the imagination of millions. Harry is world famous among wizards for conquering evil Wizard named Vo - um - He Who Must Not Be Called. Along the way, we learn that Voldemort after artifiact magical called the Sorcerer's Stone (which, unfortunately, changed from the original British title of "Sorcerer's Stone" in all other areas).
             So many novels driven by three main characters defending this stone from Voldemort. harry should be able to deal with it. an interesting one, and indeed about the whole series, is how Rowling plants details which, when read, you may not always catch, but later rather important in later volumes. Who would think Griphook and Hagrid's advice no one breaks into Gringotts would stand out like in Book 7? Or the importance of Harry could speak with boa constrictor, something which is not referenced again until Book 2 and then not fully explained until Book 7? Or the Invisibility Cloak, the device was first introduced in this novel, but you do not know the importance, or even have a real significane, until Book 7. Rowling was the writer who has a creative high. This story also has a dynamic relationship that will continue throughout the entire series, from the interaction between the three main kids (Harry, Ron, and Hermione), to the ambiguous Severus Snape, the wise mentor figure of Albus Dumbledore, bumbling Hagrid with his love evil beings, polite and reserved Professor McGonagall, evil incarnate Voldemort, Draco Malfoy, etc. conclusion there are many memorable scenes in this novel. As the novel develops, the children's age and the target audience would have aged well. In this novel, they are still very young and immature, but already at the earliest point in their careers, there are seeds of greatness for Harry, Ron, and Hermione. so, if you want to get this book click here
