Book Details / Review - supplied by Amazon UK
Say you've spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand and jellybeans that come in every flavour, including strawberry, curry, grass and sardine. Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J K Rowling's enchanting, funny debut novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In the non-magical human world--the world of "Muggles"--Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is renowned as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he's quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt, uncle, and spoilt, pig-like cousin Dudley. A mysterious letter, delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, wrenches Harry from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence: "We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry". Of course, Uncle Vernon yells most unpleasantly, "I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!" Soon enough, however, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig ... and that's where the real adventure--humorous, haunting, and suspenseful--begins. This magical, gripping, brilliant book--a future classic to be sure--will leave children clamouring for a sequel. (Ages 8-13) --Karin Snelson

Superb! - Rated Im a massive Harry Potter fan and already have all the books, I bought this for my Son who loves it. J K Rowling is one of a kind. love hate relationship - Rated ordered a month ago, still waiting to receive it, the book is good, not sure about amazon uk!!!! Excelent Story but quite a wait for it to be sent. - Rated I can not fault the goods but I wqas very disapointed that the item was not sent until 2 weeks after the order, with no explanation or warning. It arrived too late for us to take on holiday. I have never had such slow service from Amazon themselves. I would think twice before using this suplier again. Harry Potter - Rated What brilliant books. Saw the films and wanted to read the books. Wasn,t disappointed. A magical experience indeed. Couldn't put it down . Loved it. dont be put off - Rated Dont be put off by the fact this is classified as a childrens book as it can be enjoyed by adults and children alike... There is nothing to say regarding the book and story that hasnt been said on this site already. Sure there are comparisons to other fantasy books which you can pour over until your blue in the face, if it was the case of judging these characters and storylines as being exclusive to their original inventors then there would be no literature in the world as every story ever written borrows and refines elements of previous stories. Enjoy the story for what it is.
