Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

That's what I said, but Dumbledore thinks that - what was it?-"to the well-organised mind, death is but the next great adventure":

‘The truth.’ Dumbledore sighed. ‘It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.’

'Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself."

 It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that. 

Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy - until he is rescued by a beetle-eyed giant of a man, enrols at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, learns to play Quidditch and does battle in a deadly duel. The reason: Harry Potter is a wizard!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

"Tu so, als ob du dir das Bein gebrochen hättest", schlug Hermine vor. "Brich dir das Bein wirklich", sagte Ron

Schon klar warum Harry nicht nach Ravenclaw gekommen ist 

"Habt ihr nicht gesehen, worauf er stand?"

"Auf dem Boden?", war der Beitrag Harrys zu dieser Frage.

"Willkommen!", rief er. "Willkommen zu einem neuen Jahr in Hogwarts! Bevor wir mit unserem Bankett beginnen, möchte ich ein paar Worte sagen. Und hier sind sie: Schwachkopf! Schwabbelspeck! Krimskrams! Quiek! Danke sehr!"

"Wir schicken dir eine Klobrille aus Hogwarts."

Harry Potter e a pedra filosofal

Eu gostei disso porque - embora estejamos tratando de uma interpretação física (a cicatriz na testa do Harry), isso pode ser uma metáfora para como certos eventos que ficam na memória podem nos ser úteis, seja por aprendizado seja de lembrança para não cometer o mesmo erro.

Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That's because he's being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he's really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.

What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally, the whole school knows.

Why are the Weasley twins better in the books than the movies 😂

The Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.

Although people rarely died playing Quidditch, referees had been known to vanish and turn up months later in the Sahara Desert

“I hope you’re pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed — or worse, expelled. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to bed.”

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.

Call him Voldemort, Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.

The trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them.

I remember every wand I’ve ever sold, Mr. Potter. Every single want. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in your wand, gave another feather - just one other. It is very curious indeed that you should be destined for this wand when it’s brother- why, it’s brother gave you that scar 

Imagine being being in Hufflepuff, I think I’d leave, wouldn’t you?

“The truth." Dumbledore sighed. "It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.” 

“Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself!” 

 “The trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them."

“After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”

Wonderful book, love J.K Rowlings series

I have read this over 400 times and i'm not even joking.
Great book and obviously would read again
Can't wait for the TV Show that'll come out in a few years

After surviving under his dreadful aunt and uncle's care, Harry Potter is thrilled at the prospect of starting a new life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is no longer just an ordinary boy; he is one of the most powerful yet still very ordinary wizards the world of Hogwarts has seen. We all secretly wish for this, an escape to a magical world filled with wonder where we can be something more extraordinary. Rowling gave us that escape in 1997, and it would continue to be an escape for people of all ages for 25 more years. 

I was first introduced to the word of Harry Potter when I was very young; I would often read the book series 10 times over. Being so young, I never fully understood what an amazing book this one is as I favoured the Chamber of Secrets and Goblet of Fire. Albeit controversial, Rowling is undoubtedly brilliant regarding world-building; there are still so many details and secrets I notice hidden within Hogwarts during each revisit. The magic created was not lost on me the older I've gotten; I find it even more magical and brilliant now than when I did all those years ago. There isn't much else to say, as people have been saying the same things for years. 

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is my ultimate comfort read; I adored every second. It's one of those books I'll revisit for many years and my go-to book for getting out of a reading slump.

I fought long and hard to not read any of the Harry Potter books, almost a decade in fact. I'm not entirely sure at the moment why I was so adamant against them. It isn't my favorite in the series by far, but it was highly enjoyable start to finish.

What I liked most about this book was the whole world that Rowling created and this book is obviously where you get the introduction to Hogwarts and the rest of the world she has created.

It’s not the best but I still kinda like it 

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.

It felt awesome to read to book after watching movie. Because I could read all the details and remember the story again. 👌

"Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal es el primer volumen de la ya clásica serie de novelas fantásticas de la autora británica J.K. Rowling. «Con las manos temblorosas, Harry le dio la vuelta al sobre y vio un sello de lacre púrpura con un escudo de armas: un león, un águila, un tejón y una serpiente, que rodeaban una gran letra H.» Harry Potter nunca ha oído hablar de Hogwarts hasta que empiezan a caer cartas en el felpudo del número 4 de Privet Drive. Llevan la dirección escrita con tinta verde en un sobre de pergamino amarillento con un sello de lacre púrpura, y sus horripilantes tíos se apresuran a confiscarlas. Más tarde, el día que Harry cumple once años, Rubeus Hagrid, un hombre gigantesco cuyos ojos brillan como escarabajos negros, irrumpe con una noticia extraordinaria: Harry Potter es un mago, y le han concedido una plaza en el Colegio Hogwarts de Magia y Hechicería. ¡Está a punto de comenzar una aventura increíble! ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first volume of British author J.K. Rowling's now classic series of fantasy novels. "With trembling hands, Harry turned over the envelope and saw a purple wax seal with a coat of arms: a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake, all surrounding a large letter H." Harry Potter has never heard of Hogwarts before, until letters start falling at the doorstep of 4 Privet Drive. The address is written in green ink on a yellowed parchment envelope with a purple wax seal stamped on it, and his repugnant aunt and uncle rush to remove and hide them. Later, on Harry's eleventh birthday, Rubeus Hagrid, a gigantic man whose eyes sparkle like black beetles, shows up with extraordinary news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has been awarded a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Read this with my son and we both enjoyed it. He enjoyed it a bit more than I did. I, honestly, didn't think I'd get into it but I did and found myself quite involved. Rowling has a great gift at writing a scene. I felt like I was in the stands watching Harry play Quidditch.

first time reading the series & i love the books just as much as the movies!

j ♡

another iconic one. Hagrid such a crybaby in the books hahaha. I’ve seen all the movies, but first time reading books.

what really captured me about this novel was the world. i could taste and feel everything about hogwarts, which made the story 100x more enjoyable. i'm sure this will be a fun series and i'm excited to get back into the wizarding world. this first HP was super short and feel-good. :'')

Michael Springer

You've already read it. I don't know why you're bothering to look at my review. 

It's a lot of fun! But, I've GOT to go with only 3 stars, because there are nine thousand people (more or less) on this site giving it TOO MANY stars. It's a good book. But, in my oh-so-humble opinion, not as great as everybody says it is.

Harry Potter Series: Book 1

Enjoyable, relaxing read. Looking forward to moving on with the series.

Bri Billaney

This is another series that took me entirely too long to read. But once I took the plunge? I couldn't believe how much I missed. There's clearly a reason this series is so beloved, beyond the movies. Despite all the hate, Rowling is a great writer, and succeeded in building this wizarding world that provided many kids with a safe place to feel welcome, and provided the world with an incredible series.

Colleen

I'm not sure how many times I have read this book, but it never gets old. There is always some new detail that I find and the joy of revisiting a wonderful book. This is the mark of a classic - it grows with you. What starts as an entertaining story reveals a labyrinth of depth as you move along.

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Rowling created a masterful world full of magic, wonder, and adventure. Harry Potter is probably one of the most beloved characters in literary history, and it is not hard to see why. He is the ultimate underdog, but that doesn't make him weak. Like the Sorting Hat says, he has "a thirst to prove himself." 

The other characters in the book are also brilliantly 3D. From the ones with the smallest rolls to the stalwart cohorts and sinister villains, they all wrap you up in their stories and pull you into their world. And that world is richly and profoundly described.

Another aspect I really enjoy is that Rowling expertly keeps her own "voice" out of the writing. So many times when reading, I notice cracks and holes where the writer's real thoughts and opinions seep through. I get distracted because I can picture them trying to find the right words, trying to figure out what happens next... and it inescapably evicts me from the story. But not so with this book! The story arcs along beautifully until at last the strokes and threads come together in a seemingly effortless way.

4.5 stars ✨ 

this truly was magical and super adorable. I don't think this will be the last Harry Potter book I read :)


does listening to the audiobook count as reading?

8/6/22 
I read the MINALIMA edition and it's just wonderfully gorgeous 💗 I'm currently sick and in a reading slump but for some reason, I picked up this and read from where I finished back in January. such a comfort read! I hope they do a MINALIMA edition for all the books, and I try not to support the author but I would 1000% waste my pay on these copies
