__Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone__ was about a boy named Harry Potter, who lives with his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon who despise Harry. The Dursleys have their own son, Dudley, who is Harry’s Muggle born cousin. Harry lives in the Muggle world on 4 Privet Drive. One day, Harry receives a mysterious letter. The Dursleys throw it away. But then Harry receives three more of the same letters! The Dursleys are being sent more and more letters as they are throwing them away. Then on Sunday, which Uncle Vernon thought was “no post day” was happy because there would be no more of the letters. But Uncle Vernon was wrong. About a minute later, a huge amount of letters comes flying into the house. So Uncle Vernon decides to get out of the house and go somewhere where letters won’t come flying out at you every five seconds. So they go to an abandoned old shack on a rock in the middle of a thunderstorm. Then, a giagantic man named Rubeus Hagrid breaks into the shack and gives Harry his letter. The letter was the permission slip to go to the best school for witches and wizards, Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hagrid takes Harry there, and Harry makes friends with Ron Weasly, and Hermoine Granger. Harry discovers something that he never knew. He is a wizard! Throughout the year Harry discovers that Lord Voldemort, the one who killed Harry’s parents, Lily and James Potter, is trying to regain power to kill Harry. He is also trying to steal the Socerers Stone which makes you live forever and turns anything into gold. Harry eventually gets the stone. ======

Resolution:
Harry saves the stone and almost dies! When Harry touches Professor Quirrel Quirrel gets burned. That is because when Harry’s mother died, she died to save him, and a powerful but invisible mark was put on him. That mark was the mark of her love and sacrifice. But Voldemort is not totally dead... maybe he'll return.

The author’s message in the story is that your life can change in only one night. I say this because when the Dursleys and Harry went to the old broken shack, Harry’s life changed when Hagrid came bursting into the shack, and gave Harry the letter that would change his life. The author was probably trying to say that something could happen so randomly and suddenly, and it would change your life forever.

Reviews:[[image:clipart_star.jpg width="153" height="62"]]
I think that this book was good and that I will defiantly recommend this book. I hope and most likely will get to read books 2-7. I think the author J.K. Rowling did a great job of describing the characters. I think that she made the scene pop out of the book. I gave this book 5 stars out of a 1-5 rating for her outstanding description. I will read this book time after time and it will never get old. This my second time reading it and I still love it. - Jourdan F.
 * Write a review of the book here! How many stars do you give it on a scale of 1-5?**

On a scale from one to five, I would give the book a five. I give this book a five because the keeps my and my class’s attention through out the whole entire story. I always want to skip ahead and read another chapter. The detail in this book is remarkable because it almost did not go a sentence describing something. Over all I love the way J.K. Rowling wrote the book. -Doug G.  I would give this book 5 star because it has exciting game called Quidditch. With bludgers trying to knock the players off there broomsticks while at the same time they are trying to score a goal. It is also full of mystery like when Harry, Hermione, and Ron were trying to figure out who was helping Voldermort. This is really a great book. -Ethan R.

On the scale of 1-5, I would give this book a four and a half. I would give it this rank because it was really good, but some parts in the book were frightening and sometimes disturbing. For example, "the man with two faces" part was kind of disturbing,because a teacher had two faces. That part was kind of weird. But I still enjoyed __Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone__ was a good book. - Marshall H.  I would give __Harry Potter__ 4 out of 5 stars because it was very exciting, funny, and it had a good twist. I never would have expected Voldemort to be on the back of Professor Quirrell’s head. I liked the part where Harry gets Neville’s remember ball back from Malfoy. It was exciting when Harry got put on the Quidditch team. I thought it was funny when Harry and Ron were stuck in the Devil’s Snare. Hermione had to make light but she just stood there screaming, “But there is no wood!” Harry and Ron had to remind her she was a witch. – Julia A.

The book will keep you on your toes when Harmonie almost gets killed by a troll and other exciting parts in the book. But what the book was mainly about is Harry and his friends going on adventures and finding out about the sorcer stone. On a scale one to five I would give the book a five because like I said it is exciting and it keeps you reading on from chapter to chapter. - Nick F.

Ron, Harry, and Hermione are all friends that go to Hogwarts, a wizard and witch school. Over the months at Hogwarts the three friends discover that one of the teacher’s Professor Snape, is trying to steal something. “The Sorcerers Stone.” Even though the stone is protected by several obstacles such as the two-headed dog called “Fluffy” and more Snape still has a way to get past those obstacles. One night when Snape tries to steal the stone, the three friends, Harry, Hermione, and Ron decide to follow him. But it won’t be easy. Sneaking out at night is strictly forbidden at Hogwarts. Will Harry, Ron, and Hermione be able to do it. Yes. I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. I would give this book this many stars because this story has excitement, entertainment, and it is very suspenseful. That is what makes a great book. I also like this book because you really use your imagination when you read this book. It isn’t something that you think about everyday. -Isabelle D.

The number of stars I would give the Harry Potter is five stars because the book was very descriptive and there are lots of details and it makes you feel like you are actually there when it is happening because when it described the places on the way to finding the stone I could almost feel the plant crawling up my body. Lexie C.

The book Harry Potter is basically about how Harry’s aunt and uncle looked after him for ten years. They were supposed to tell him he was a wizard when he was the write age, how his parents died but they didn’t want to so Harry lives with thousands of spiders after ten years Hagrid sent Harry millions of letters that the Dursleys always kept taking them from him and burning them in the fire place and the letters were exceptions to Hogwarts. After many tries Hagrid decides to tell Harry face to face. - Connor B.

If I had to star it through a scale of 1-5 I would choose 4.5 because the book was really exiting and when we had to stop reading it we wanted to go and read some more. The downside of the book is there are so many teachers at Hogwarts that it is confusing which teacher is which. -Griffin L.

I would give this book a five star rating because it had exiting features, such as sneaking past a three-headed dog. It was exciting when the children played enchanted chess to find Voldemort. It was also funny and exciting when Harry was having a hard time staying on his broom in the game Quidditch. This book is good for people who love fiction. I would recommend this book to everyone young and old. -Brianna B.

If I were reviewing __Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone__ on the scale from 1-5 I would give the book a five because there are so many things that are happening like when Harry was picked for a seeker on accident. I think the most interesting part of the book is when Harry, Ron, and Hermione get past the trap door that Fluffy is guarding and they go through so many deadly traps to stop Voldemort from getting the Sorcerer of stone. That part was awesome. I think you should read __Harry Potter and the Sorcerer of Stone__. You will enjoy it. -Doreen R.

I give the book a four because it was very interesting and action packed. The author did a good job with writing this book and it is very wonderful and fun to read for children or adults. -Olivia C.

I would give this book 5 stars because of all the action and suspense and characters. For example, when Harry was about to do something brave, it was the end of the chapter. In addition, it takes a great mind to think of Hagrid. -Luke G.

I think it deserve 1 star because of the way the Dursleys treat Harry in the beginning and how Snape is mean to him. They should be nicer to him! What I mean is they need to be good to Harry. - Cody G.
