a review

Ten year old, orphan Harry Potter, with unruly hair and a strange lightning scar on his forehead, lives with his horrible uncle and aunt and their hideous son, Dudley. According to Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia his parents died in a car crash and he now has to live with them, in the cupboard under the stairs of all places.

Live changes dramatically for Harry on his eleventh birthday, when he receives (eventually) a letter inviting him to Hogwarts school of wizardry. From then on Harry's life will never be the same as he befriends freckled faced, ginger haired Ron Weasly and his familiar Scabbers the forever sleeping rat, and Hermione Granger, a studious girl who loves her studies. He also comes across Draco Malfoy, who is destined to become his greatest enemy and discovers that his parents were not killed in a car crash but murdered by the most evil wizard that ever existed Lord Vortemore, a never to be mention wizard who might just be coming back to kill Harry.

What can you say about the Harry Potter phenomena that has not already been said a thousand times? not much, except that with there simple but effective story telling and the complex but illogical plotting, the books once picked up are un-putdownable.

There is a reason that the Harry Potter books have sold over 110 million copies worldwide, why don't you pick up HP & the Philosopher's Stone and find out why.
