Book Recommendation - Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a book that is suitable for all age groups. The Harry Potter series is the creation of one of the best writers of century (in my opinion), J.K Rowling.

This book takes us through a magical adventure of a boy who had escaped from the curse of the most powerful dark wizard of the age, Lord Voldemort, whose name most witches and wizards are still afraid to speak.

Harry Potter's parents were killed by Lord Voldemort, and Harry was was rescued by Rubeous Hagrid. Then, Harry was sent to live with his uncle and aunt.

Harry was picked on and taunted for 10 years by Dudley, his cousin, and was rescued again by Hagrid. Then, he is informed by Hagrid that he is a wizard and he have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Then, Harry and his new best friends Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger discover the mystery of the sorcerer's stone, encounter a three-headed dog and at the end Harry once again comes face-to-face with Lord Voldemort himself.

This book is the best that I have read so far!

Note from Megan, Editor of the Book Club Guide

Thanks for the review! All the Harry Potter books are certainly fun reads, and would be great choices for young-adult or school book clubs.
