very interesting story (

Synopsis: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. A baby is delivered to the house of 'the worst kind of muggles'. He is neglected and abused simply because he is 'different'. At age 11 Harry receives a letter that changes his life - he is accepted into Hogwarts. At the school he learns how to be a wizard, play quidditch, and confront the Dark Lord.

Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. This is a completely delightful book that not only tells a good story but shows how even an abused child can make choices that lead to good outcomes. (

Twenty-first century classics. Book One is still my favorite, even after reading all the others. I love the complicatedness of the others, but this is still the best for me.
Book Two was not among my favorites, though I do adore Dobby, Hogsmeade, and the invisibility cloak.
One of my favorite magical gadgets in J.K. Rowlings' entire creation is the Pensieve, which we first encounter in Book Three.
