He makes new friends including Ron Weasly and Hermionie Granger and learns how he got the lighting shaped scar on his forehead and why he is famous. (  ) morganwest | Jan 6, 2010 |  wonderful book about an eleven year old who finds out he is a wizard. Book 1 out of 7 books! (  )1  ncalhoun | Jan 5, 2010 | Funny and delightful. Kept me on the edge of my seat. I want to be friends with Harry Potter, even though I'm only a Muggle. :) (  )1 EbonyHaywood | Jan 2, 2010 | Great start to an excellent series. To be honest it took me three or four times to actually force myself to get through it--I just didn't care about the Dursleys and kept stopping at around the same point. Eventually I forced myself to keep going and I'm glad I did. Looking back I appreciate the book more now that I know the actual storyline. Too much backstory in the beginning of a novel always puts me off. Anyway, great book. ( )1 fufuakaspeechless | Dec 29, 2009 | Merideth says: Is it even necessary to talk about Harry Potter anymore? Hasn't everything been said? I've read this book more times than I really care to think about, for programs at the library, and I still enjoy it. That makes it a good book I think. The audio book read by Jim Dale, is especially good because Dale is such a great reader. ( )2 YouthGPL | Dec 22, 2009 | 
 On the whole, ''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'' is as funny, moving and impressive as the story behind its writing. J. K. Rowling, a teacher by training, was a 30-year-old single mother living on welfare in a cold one-bedroom flat in Edinburgh when she began writing it in longhand during her baby daughter's nap times. But like Harry Potter, she had wizardry inside, and has soared beyond her modest Muggle surroundings to achieve something quite special.  The light-hearted caper travels through the territory owned by the late Roald Dahl, especially in the treatment of the bad guys — they are uniformly as unshadedly awful as possible —but the tone is a great deal more affectionate. A charming and readable romp with a most sympathetic hero and filled with delightful magic details.  it is very fantastic and like a real story
