I really liked this book. The beginning may have been a bit slow but after that it was great. J.K Rowling really creates a world that you get absorbed into. Even though I know what happens in the series, parts were still surprising. A really interesting book.

This book gets you hooked on quite easily. The plot was very well put together! Really fascinating story and full of suspence! The personality of the main characters made the story very pleasant and amusing to read! I recommend this series very much!

Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts. My favorite part is when Harry kills Quirell with his power of love.

Harry Potter goes to Hogwarts where he finds his friends. He "discovers" that Severus Snape wants to help the Dark Lord, Voldemort, get The Philisoper's Stone, thus the title. Then....he decides to do what no one will have the courage to even dare think about.

Before the start of the novel, Voldemort, considered the most evil and powerful dark wizard in history, killed Harry's parents but mysteriously vanished after trying to kill the infant Harry. While the wizarding world was celebrating Voldemort's downfall, Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Rubeus Hagrid placed the one year-old orphan in the care of his Muggle (non-wizard) uncle and aunt: Vernon and Petunia Dursley. For ten years, they and their son Dudley neglected, tormented and abused Harry. Shortly before Harry's eleventh birthday, a series of letters addressed to Harry arrive, but Vernon destroys them before Harry can read them. To get away from the letters, Vernon takes the family to a small island. As they are settling in, Hagrid bursts through the door to tell Harry what the Dursleys have kept him from finding out: Harry is a wizard and has been accepted at Hogwarts. Hagrid takes Harry to Diagon Alley, a magically-concealed shopping precinct in London, where Harry is bewildered to discover how famous he is among wizards as "the boy who lived". He also finds that he is quite wealthy, since a bequest from his parents has remained on deposit at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Guided by Hagrid, he buys the books and equipment he needs for Hogwarts. At the wand shop, he finds that the wand that suits him best is the twin of Voldemort's; both wands contain feathers from the same phoenix

Harry Potter is just a normal British boy - until a giant visits him on his eleventh birthday and informs Harry that he is a wizard.

This is on the back of the book - Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy - until he is rescued by an owl, taken to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, learns to play Quiddich and does battle in a deadly duel. The Reason... HARRY POTTER IS A WIZARD!

Harry Potter is a young boy who does not know the truth about himself-he is a wizard. He then attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he makes some friends-Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger. As Harry begins his first magical year, a fascinating adventure begins unfolding from the pen of J. K. Rowling and begins a saga that is no equal to any other in history. Get ready for J. K. Rowling's amazing debut novel as the fantastic story of Harry Potter begins.

Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.

The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing.
