            “Yes — of course — but there’s no wood!” Hermione cried, wringing her hands.

            “HAVE YOU GONE MAD?” Ron bellowed. “ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?”

            “Oh, right!” said Hermione, and she whipped out her wand.»

« “Lucky you pay attention in Herbology, Hermione,” said Harry as he joined her by the wall, wiping sweat off his face.

            “Yeah,” said Ron, “and lucky Harry doesn’t lose his head in a crisis — ‘there’s no wood,’ honestly.»

“I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks…” 

“Bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses, I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death…” 

“Tut tut, Fame clearly isn’t everything.” 

“What do they think they're doing keeping a thing lIke that locked up in a school?" said Ron finally. "If any dog needs exercise, that one does."

"Strange how nearsighted being invisible can make you…” 

“The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is.” 

"Books and cleverness! There are more important things like friendship and bravery…”

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Michelle Dsouza

This book built my childhood, and it’s still my favorite in the series. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the beginning of one of the most iconic fantasy worlds ever written. It follows Harry, an ordinary (and very unhappy) kid who discovers he’s a wizard and is suddenly swept into Hogwarts, a school full of magic, mystery, friendships, and just enough danger to make you read with your heart slightly racing. What makes this first book so special is the wonder. Everything is new, and you experience it the same way Harry does: the castle, the classes, the food, the rules, the feeling of finally belonging somewhere. It’s cozy and magical, but it also has that gentle undercurrent of something darker beyond the edges, which keeps you turning pages. I loved all the books, but this one will always be the most precious to me because it’s where the magic starts. It’s the book that made the world feel bigger, like anything could exist if you just found the right door.

Harry Potter se ha quedado huérfano y vive en casa de sus abominables tíos y el insoportable primo Dudley. Se siente muy triste y solo, hasta que un buen día recibe una carta que cambiará su vida para siempre. En ella le comunican que ha sido aceptado como alumno en el Colegio Hogwarts de Magia. A partir de ese momento, la suerte de Harry da un vuelco espectacular. En esa escuela tan especial aprenderá encantamientos, trucos fabulosos y tácticas de defensa contra las malas artes. Se convertirá en el campeón escolar de quidditch, una especie de fútbol aéreo que se juega montado sobre escobas, y hará un puñado de buenos amigos... aunque también algunos temibles enemigos. Pero, sobre todo, conocerá los secretos que le permitirán cumplir con su destino. Pues, aunque no lo parezca a primera vista, Harry no es un chico normal y corriente: ¡es un verdadero mago!

Arrancamos bien con la saga. Si bien hay cosas que sé por las películas, no sé mucho. No vi ninguna película, así que esto va a ser una aventura copada. Le doy cuatro estrellas porque para ser la introducción a la saga, me atrapó bastante

Harry Potter lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt and Uncle's house. He is bullied by them and his spoilt cousin, and lives a very unremarkable life. But then Harry is transported to a world of magic and excitement

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Illustrated Edition

I reread this book to my kids, I remember loving it as a child, but now I can't for the life of me remember why... the sentences were so long that you ran iut of breath halfway through, and it wasnt enjoyable to read at all. My kids enjoyed it, and it was nostalgic but other than that not great.

Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy - until he is rescued by a beetle-eyed giant of a man, enrols at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, learns to play Quidditch and does battle in a deadly duel. The reason: Harry Potter is a wizard!

Harry Potter #1

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Francisca Isabella Rocha

Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a cloak of invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years.

But all that is about change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to a wonderful place he never dreamed existed. There he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic around every corner, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him...if Harry can survive the encounter.

I mean I know I’m late to the party but wow. An incredible world built by Rowling that wish I had dove into much earlier.

A truly remarkable and inspiring story about resilience and friendship. Sometimes it just takes finding your people to reveal your power and true purpose.

I’m about 20 years late to the Hogwarts party, but better late than never….

This first book was such a fun and easy read. I found myself actually excited to pick it up and escape reality for a little bit each night. 

I fully understand the hype, and can’t wait to read the rest of this series.⚡📚

Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility. All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley - a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years. But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry - and anyone who reads about him - will find unforgettable.

Re-reading the series in the name of nostalgia. Didn’t realise that they changed the dialogue so much in the movies during the chess scene!

Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'. Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle.

Great fun story. I enjoyed listening to it.

Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That's because he's being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he's really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.

-Harry’s inner monologue was either hilarious or depressing 

-Any moment with Fred and George was great—Harry and Ron’s relationship was adorable and watching them warm up to Hermione and start the golden trio was great

-Hermione is such a girl boss lying to teachers, being super smart, setting Snape on fire

-Oliver wood keeping Harry as his secret weapon and the speech in the locker room was amazing and should’ve been added into the movie

-All the mentions of Lilly and James (Minnie talking about James being in the quidditch team and smiling was so cute but so sad)

-Perfect way to start one of the greatest franchises ever

First time that I’m reading them in English! 

I really really admire J.K. Rowling her writing. The way the books are all connected… so well done. And the way she creates characters and names! I love it :).

reading this as an adult somehow didn’t feel very different from when I was 10 and picked it up at the school library. it made me long for a time when my biggest concern regarding this book was whether snape would occur in one of my nightmares rather than the transphobia promoted by its author.

Neville getting those 10 points are just as emotional in the book as it was in the movie.

I didn’t give her money and I won’t give it a real rating, just listening through the series to feel like it’s fall.

Rescued from the outrageous neglect of his aunt and uncle, a young boy with a great destiny proves his worth while attending Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.

It’s always a great day when I read this book:)

25th Anniversary Edition

After surviving under his dreadful aunt and uncle's care, Harry Potter is thrilled at the prospect of starting a new life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is no longer just an ordinary boy; he is one of the most powerful yet still very ordinary wizards the world of Hogwarts has seen. We all secretly wish for this, an escape to a magical world filled with wonder where we can be something more extraordinary. Rowling gave us that escape in 1997, and it would continue to be an escape for people of all ages for 25 more years.

I was first introduced to the word of Harry Potter when I was very young; I would often read the book series 10 times over. Being so young, I never fully understood what an amazing book this one is as I favoured the Chamber of Secrets and Goblet of Fire. Albeit controversial, Rowling is undoubtedly brilliant regarding world-building; there are still so many details and secrets I notice hidden within Hogwarts during each revisit. The magic created was not lost on me the older I've gotten; I find it even more magical and brilliant now than when I did all those years ago. There isn't much else to say, as people have been saying the same things for years.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is my ultimate comfort read; I adored every second. It's one of those books I'll revisit for many years and my go-to book for getting out of a reading slump.
