            “Yes — of course — but there’s no wood!” Hermione cried, wringing her hands.

            “HAVE YOU GONE MAD?” Ron bellowed. “ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?”

            “Oh, right!” said Hermione, and she whipped out her wand.»

« “Lucky you pay attention in Herbology, Hermione,” said Harry as he joined her by the wall, wiping sweat off his face.

            “Yeah,” said Ron, “and lucky Harry doesn’t lose his head in a crisis — ‘there’s no wood,’ honestly.»

“I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks…” 

“Bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses, I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death…” 

“Tut tut, Fame clearly isn’t everything.” 

“What do they think they're doing keeping a thing lIke that locked up in a school?" said Ron finally. "If any dog needs exercise, that one does."

"Strange how nearsighted being invisible can make you…” 

“The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is.” 

"Books and cleverness! There are more important things like friendship and bravery…”

When mysterious letters start arriving on his doorstep, Harry Potter has never heard of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

They are swiftly confiscated by his aunt and uncle.

Then, on Harry’s eleventh birthday, a strange man bursts in with some important news: Harry Potter is a wizard and has been awarded a place to study at Hogwarts.

And so the first of the Harry Potter adventures is set to begin.

What other book can draw in both young adults and adults and captivate them through the entire book and then have them wanting more and more and more....

It’s more fun to read after watching the film… cuz u finally had that more visuals for the characters, and the discovery of they removed on the films from the books.

I always wanted to read the Harry Potter series, I was a big fan of the movies. I still remember the first movie with my mom and my little sisters! I could hear them screaming during the chess match. This book took me to that happy moment! I totally recommend this book, it is engaging and lovely. It relaxed me a a lot 😍

Que pienso de este libro??? Umm pues me ha gustado, esta bien para pasar el tiempo :) espero que los demás me gusten igual o más. Aunque aquí me estoy centrando total con la historia y no su autora 🤠

Harry Potter se ha quedado huérfano y vive en casa de sus abominables tíos y el insoportable primo Dudley. Se siente muy triste y solo, hasta que un buen día recibe una carta que cambiará su vida para siempre. En ella le comunican que ha sido aceptado como alumno en el Colegio Hogwarts de Magia. A partir de ese momento, la suerte de Harry da un vuelco espectacular. En esa escuela tan especial aprenderá encantamientos, trucos fabulosos y tácticas de defensa contra las malas artes. Se convertirá en el campeón escolar de quidditch, una especie de fútbol aéreo que se juega montado sobre escobas, y hará un puñado de buenos amigos... aunque también algunos temibles enemigos. Pero, sobre todo, conocerá los secretos que le permitirán cumplir con su destino. Pues, aunque no lo parezca a primera vista, Harry no es un chico normal y corriente: ¡es un verdadero mago!

No importa cuantos años tenga o cuantas veces relea este libro, no dejaré nunca de sorprenderme. Si tan solo pudiera agradecer a Rowling habernos regalado el poder de crecer con magia y no perderla. Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal es el libro que abre la gran saga de Harry Potter, a medida que los personajes van creciendo así de compleja se va convirtiendo la lectura, lo qué pasa a ser un libro para un niño de 10 años, termina siendo una saga para jóvenes adultos. Y esa es la verdadera magia de un escritor. Me gustaría que más personas entendieran lo bonito y lo complejo que es el universo Harry Potter.

As a 21 year old, I still felt excited and captivated by their adventures. Still echanted and up to no good.

Don't ask me why I'm reading/listening this book for the nth time... im not such a fan of audiobooks when compared to reading the actual copies but who cares what i think.. in front of this masterpiece by pottermore, no words will match to it... it feels a lot lot lot more magical than whatever ive ever felt from harry potter world (bet you it was a lot magical already). the background score was just OMG!!! now im just humming the same tune over and over again. ps: hope this wins the choice award :)

No words to describe how this made my childhood.

Arrancamos bien con la saga. Si bien hay cosas que sé por las películas, no sé mucho. No vi ninguna película, así que esto va a ser una aventura copada. Le doy cuatro estrellas porque para ser la introducción a la saga, me atrapó bastante

Harry Potter lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt and Uncle's house. He is bullied by them and his spoilt cousin, and lives a very unremarkable life. But then Harry is transported to a world of magic and excitement

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Illustrated Edition

I reread this book to my kids, I remember loving it as a child, but now I can't for the life of me remember why... the sentences were so long that you ran iut of breath halfway through, and it wasnt enjoyable to read at all. My kids enjoyed it, and it was nostalgic but other than that not great.

Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a cloak of invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years.

But all that is about change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to a wonderful place he never dreamed existed. There he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic around every corner, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him...if Harry can survive the encounter.

I mean I know I’m late to the party but wow. An incredible world built by Rowling that wish I had dove into much earlier.

A truly remarkable and inspiring story about resilience and friendship. Sometimes it just takes finding your people to reveal your power and true purpose.

I’m about 20 years late to the Hogwarts party, but better late than never….

This first book was such a fun and easy read. I found myself actually excited to pick it up and escape reality for a little bit each night. 

I fully understand the hype, and can’t wait to read the rest of this series.⚡📚
