My mom picked this book up when I was in about the third or fourth grade, having heard about how magnificent it was, and brought it home to read to my sisters and me as a bedtime story. However, our family was never big on bedtime stories and after a few readings the book was set aside. No one else seemed to take anymore interest but I could not forget about the amazing story that my mom had introduced and later picked it up again on my own. Though, over the years I may in some ways outgrown Harry Potter these books will always have a solid place on my favorites list and in my heart. Before I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone I had no desire to read, this was the book that really got me interested in literature. I started reading the Sorcerer's Stone and never looked back from there. I am now a tremendous lover of books and I am currently majoring in English Literature. Though it has been far too long since I read this book for me to recall all of the details and what exactly I felt after I had finished but I still remember the excitement and the profound sense of wonder that a mere collection of words could have the power to draw me into another world. Most people don't need my review to tell them that J.K. Rowling is brilliant. Despite the fact that witches and wizards have been used in countless different stories Rowling manages to give the illusion that they were in fact her invention. Her world is totally unique and magical, captivating the reader in a way that no other possibly could. I will always think of this as the novel to which I owe one of my deepest passions and greatest pleasures. I recommend the entire Harry Potter series wholeheartedly, especially to young readers!

My brothers and I were begging my mother to read more after she put the book down. My Family was on vaction in cabin. So I (14 yrs old) had to share a room with my brothers (10 and 7). When I was reading Teen my mother started reading to my bros. I got drawn in. I can't wait to read the next one. I suggest every one read it to their kids. PS: Hermione, Ron, Pro.McGonagal and Hagerid were our fave people.

I originally bought this book for myself. I read it in less than 24 hours, and sat down to order the 2nd and 3rd books. I then started reading a chapter each night to my 6 1/2 year old son. By the third chapter, my husband was joining us each evening, and now the whole family is hooked on this book. We look forward to "visiting" Harry each night. My son, in fact, loves the book so much he's decided to be Harry for Halloween. In all, this book is one of the most interesting we've read. I think the Harry Potter series will be a favorite in our home for years to come.
