Harry Potter!







This week I read Harry Potter. I have seen all of the Harry potter movies that have been shown in theaters. I liked the movies, but usually I read a book and never watch the movies because it usually ends up bad. I don't like when they try to make these movies,but leave out important elements. When they do this I think that they are ruining the book for those who had already read it. It just isn't the same. Anyway back to the book!

I read the very first book of the Harry Potter series. This book was really good with details and secret meanings. The story tells of a boy who was taken in by his aunt and uncle, due to his parents being deceased. Harry is not a normal child, he is actually a wizard! This is where the story begins.

Along the way Harry makes those special friends, Ron and Hermine, that last a lifetime and experiences that will always be with him. He and his friends go to this school that is meant for witches and wizards. Through this school they are able to excel in their craft and face certain tests to challenge them. While Harry is here he meets Dumbledore, the head master, and Hagrid, a giant man who pretty much fills the role of Harry's father. These people make Harry question what happened to his parents and why.

Harry's curiosity gets the better of him as well as his friends. They start looking for answers based on certain objects that could help them. Something that comes up is the Sorcerers Stone. This stone is said to have had an awesome power that can grant any witch or wizard its power. Harry and his friends try to find this stone and try to discover answers about it and its whereabouts. Soon they face many dangerous obstacles trying to get closer to the stones location. They believe that they are being secretive in what they are doing, but there are always eyes watching them from the shadows. Some of these eyes are closer than Harry could have ever imagined.
