Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling is the first book in the Harry Potter series. Harry Potter is living a dreary life with his aunt, uncle and cousin when he finds out that he is a wizard and has been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He goes from being ignored or picked on to being a legend. He is the only person to have survived the evil wizard Voldemort's death curse. But Harry knew none of this - he thought his parents died in a car crash, not standing up to evil.
Now Harry, with his new best friends Hermione and Ron, will learn the ropes at Hogwarts.
This first book, on re-reading, is even better than the first time. Upon a second reading, readers will discover the brilliance of JK Rowling. She set things up in the first book that will play out through the series.
Revisit this great series. It is totally worth it.
Rowling, JK. (1997). Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. New York: Scholastic.
