Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1)

Tuve el gusto de leerlo antes de que saliera la pelicula xD

I remember trying 3 times to read this but I always gave up on page 3 or so. So I skipped to book 2 and then read the whole series then came back to this book. It's hard to review this book without taking in the series a as a whole.

Reading this series made me feel like a child again. I was excited in this first book. I watched the movies before i read this book and was happy that i did. I had face to the characters. I knew who they were and it made the books so much better to have an actual visual. The books had so much more in them then the movies did but the movies were good too!

this was not the best harry potter book

Because I'm so late to the HP frenzy, I can't tell if my review is a reflection of fatigue or my actual opinion. It's fine. It's fun. It's uplifting, but it didn't change who I am. I *may be expecting too much of a young adult book, but when you read a book like Okay for Now and compare it to HP, sure, they both have value; they're both entertaining, but one imprints on my soul. I will keep perservering through this series because what kind of self-respecting English teacher would I be if I didn't finish this g-damn series. I'm told books 3 & 4 rock and WILL change me, so I look forward to that day.

Re-read August 2016.

To begin: I made a deal that will see these 7 books come this way in exchange for three adult books. To make it interesting, I will probably attempt to begin and give up on a proper series critique when I finish. I probably won't do that though because as all of you know or I'd assume you know, I am lazy as h*ck. All I really thought of for this one pertains to the troll released that Harry and Ron had to deal with. For all of her intelligence, when faced with the threat of physical violence, Hermonice was reduced to a cowering and fearful _woman_. Ron asks if she is not a "witch" to reinforce the idea that she is, indeed, a witch. Not a wizard, as the other two boys demonstrate--willing to use their phallic wands to penetrate instead of remonstrate.

I love the Harry Potter series, even though the first one is not one of my favorite. Since I've been rereading them over the summer, I've come to a better appreciation of how intricate and well-put-together the whole series is.

just as good 15 years after I first read it.

This books touched me when I was 12. That's 12 years ago. Still expecting my Hogwarts letter though. I just love this new universe, this new reality filled with magic and creatures. I read this books so much times that sometimes I feel I went to that school and met all those people. The end of the school year used to make me as sad as it made Harry, but Hogwarts will always be my and every children's home.
