Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter eBooks never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new readers.

"I know it’s a big deal and all, but I found it very juvenile. Okay I know it’s for kids but literally every adult I know has read and loved it. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the movie either so what did I expect right? I shall continue on and hope it gets better. The movies did so there’s that. "

"Yes I’m a sucker for the classics, to kill a mocking bird and Frankenstein are both great."

"I was bored"

"As a child reading this it opened my eyes to an entirely new and fascinating world. Gives people of all ages a chance to escape and be part of Harry’s world; all while riding his life of highs, lows, adventures and simply just school, with a hint of magic"
