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

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, what is there to say that hasn't already been said? Magical, creative, spellbinding, suspenseful, cleverly crafted with a sense of camaraderie, just to name a few.

Harry Potter, the boy who lived has no idea that he is special or famous, how could he with a cousin like Dudley Dursey? So when Harry gets his letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry a whole new world opens up for him filled with adventure.

It is hard not to fall in love with Harry Potter and his slew of run-ins with danger, not to mention defeating Voldemort the most powerful Wizard not once but twice. Although, even though the stories are enchanting, they have a kind of nostalgia to them as this was one series I read over and over again (and obviously still do). Recently, my mom told me that when she would read the novels to my brother and I it took everything in her power not to continue on after we had fallen asleep. I think it really says something about a book (or books) if they can be read and enjoyed by multiple generations. Classic.
