my fave harry potter book

This one's just so laid back, it's actually enjoyable. No epic battles, no losing favorite characters to a nefarious Death Eater, no Death Eaters period. Just a middle school nerd trying to fit in and find himself... in a wizarding school. It's fun and frivolous, and you can actually sit back and chuckle, or hem and haw, or whatever it is you do when something lightly amuses you. No crying, no worrying, no nothing. Every once in a while, a book like that is refreshing.
The Sorcerer's Stone is my favorite, because it captures the true magic. Toward the end of the series, Rowling turns Harry Potter Land into another epic fantasy battle, and that kind of story is really turning into a dime a dozen. But this is classic. You get into it. You picture how cool it would've been for your sixth grade science class to have potions, to be able to levitate and all that jazz. You might pretend to be Hermione for a day and wow the teachers. You might find your own Ron to hang out with. I love how laid back it is. It's classic.

Awesome book

This was a very good book. it's just as good as the movie. i really enjoyed this book. and i think other people will too.

Fun for all ages

I have been waiting until my daughter is old enough to read any of the Harry Potter books. I had always heard the magical age is 8. I guess that is about right because she (and I) absolutely loved the first book. We read a chapter each night and finished it in under 3 weeks. I wasn't sure that she would like it, given that she has never shown any interest in anything remotely related to wizardry, but she did! After we finished the book, we watched the movie. Harry Potter was a fun experience for both of us, and now I no longer feel like one of the last people on the planet who hasn't read this book.

The Great Beginning

Our first copy was left out and the "nargel" cocker spaniel chewed it up. Anyone who is interested in an in-depth view of Harry Potter should consider collecting the audio CDs. So much more story than the movies. Thumbs up to Amazon on pricing and speed of delivery.
