Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Book Review

Rating: 5 stars

Author: J.K. Rowling

Series: Harry Potter #1

Spoilers: Spoiler Free

First off, Welcome to my first book review! 

Plot:

In this novel we follow our protagonist Harry Potter as he discovers his role in the wizarding world and his new life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As the story opens, we are introduced to Harry and his awful family members, who had to take him in after the assassination of his parents from He-who-must-not-be named a.k.a Voldemort. With Harry's birthday approaching, he starts to receive his acceptance letters from Hogwarts and the story unfolds from there. 

Writing:

J.K. Rowling has created world for people of all ages to enjoy. One of my biggest fears reading this for the first time was that I wasn't going to be able to relate or enjoy this story as much as a younger audience would, but she has proved me wrong entirely. With these characters she truly captures what the essence of being a child is like and the innocence most of them carry. The writing is easy and simple to understand, yet her words still have a big impact with readers which I believe is one of the most important parts about writing, the message and ability to connect with any audience. I'm definitely excited to see where she takes the plot, these characters, and how they develop throughout the series. 

Characters:

Ron Wesley- Ron, the whole Weasley family in general really, is just my absolute favorite. Ron is my child and I love him so much. He is just so innocent, loyal, and wise that I can't handle it.

Harry Potter- Harry is another one of my favorites. He is not afraid of any challenge and doesn't let anything stop him. He is very intelligent and wise for his age, but still mischievous, funny, and curious which is what I love most about his character. 

Hermione Granger- She is by far the smartest young character that I have ever read about, but she is also very determined and loyal to her friends which is another thing I love about these characters. 

These are just my surface thoughts about these characters, but more in depth analysis will be on other reviews once I've learned more about these characters and the others. :)

Initial Thoughts After Reading:
This book deserves all the stars there are to give, I'm absolutely blown away by how much I love this. I definitely did not expect to like this as much as I do. Also I'm not an easy crier when it comes to books, but this one got me and wow wow wow,  definitely a new favorite and I'm mad and glad that I waited to read this because now I get to enjoy all that these books are for the first time!!
