Harry Potter spent ten long years living with Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, an aunt and uncle whose outrageous favoritism of their perfectly awful son Dudley leads to some of the most inspired dark comedy since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But fortunately for Harry, he's about to be granted a scholarship to a unique boarding school called THE HOGWORTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY, where he will become a school hero at the game of Quidditch (a kind of aerial soccer played high above the ground on broomsticks), he will make some wonderful friends, and, unfortunately, a few terrible enemies. For although he seems to be getting your run-of-the-mill boarding school experience (well, ok, even that's pretty darn out of the ordinary), Harry Potter has a destiny that he was born to fulfill. A destiny that others would kill to keep him from.

"The book that made me fall in love with reading at a young age. "

Jamie Publicover

"I was already a 20 something year old but my sister who is 11 years younger wanted this book so much. I wanted to know what was the hype about. Read it and enjoyed it. I still have my sister’s old copy from that time. 20+ years old. I am a total HP fan. Team Gryffindor all the way!"

Norma Blanco

"This came out when I was in high school and of course I adored it but I can’t imagine how freaking awesome it was to read this as a child."

Danielle Henry

"It would definitely be a 5 ⭐️ if I was a child and I hadn’t already watched the film. It’s a great book, it’s just too young for my reading taste. "

"I remember reading this when I was in fifth grade and thinking this was the hardest book to read?? It was short and cute this time around. Not much detail but I can still feel the magic all these years later"

"I’ve said this for the movie version,but my only experience with this book/franchise was when I was about 7 years old and I couldnt understand/it was too hard for me so I put it down and tried watching the movie and it put me to sleep."
