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!

"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.

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.

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?

“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.” 

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

Harry Potter Series: Book 1

The only thing wrong with it is that you can't put it down.

Absolutely one of my favorite children's books. I remember reading this the first time; I was twelve years old. My kids are just now the age they want to read it.  However, I love this entire series, but in the end, I still haven't received my Hogwarts letter.

Why did I wait so long to read these books? I thought for sure I would take forever reading these books since I pretty much knew what happens but all I could think about was reading this book! 

I honestly don't have much to say about this book, as most people already know so much about the series. I knew I would enjoy the series but pushed off reading it for so long. I can't wait to read the remaining books!

Re reading for the sole purpose of playing Hogwarts Legacy and I am simply amazed by the amount of foreshadowing J.K Rowling does even in the very first book.

Em Harry Potter e a Pedra Filosofal, o leitor é apresentado a Harry, filho de Tiago e Lílian Potter, feiticeiros que foram assassinados por um poderosíssimo bruxo, quando ele ainda era um bebê. Com isso, o menino acaba sendo levado para a casa dos tios que nada tinham a ver com o sobrenatural pelo contrário. Até os 10 anos, Harry foi uma espécie de gata borralheira: maltratado pelos tios, herdava roupas velhas do primo gorducho, tinha óculos remendados e era tratado como um estorvo. No dia de seu aniversário de 11 anos, entretanto, ele parece deslizar por um buraco sem fundo, como o de Alice no país das maravilhas, que o conduz a um mundo mágico. Descobre sua verdadeira história e seu destino: ser um aprendiz de feiticeiro até o dia em que terá que enfrentar a pior força do mal, o homem que assassinou seus pais, o terrível Lorde das Trevas. O menino de olhos verdes, magricela e desengonçado, tão habituado à rejeição, descobre, também, que é um herói no universo dos magos. Potter fica sabendo que é a única pessoa a ter sobrevivido a um ataque do tal bruxo do mal e essa é a causa da marca em forma de raio que ele carrega na testa. Ele não é um garoto qualquer, ele sequer é um feiticeiro qualquer; ele é Harry Potter, símbolo de poder, resistência e um líder natural entre os sobrenaturais. A fábula, recheada de fantasmas, paredes que falam, caldeirões, sapos, unicórnios, dragões e gigantes, não é, entretanto, apenas um passatempo. Harry Potter conduz a discussões metafísicas, aborda o eterno confronto entre o bem e o mal, evidencia algumas mazelas da sociedade, como o preconceito, a divisão de classes através do dinheiro e do berço, a inveja, o egoísmo, a competitividade exacerbada, a busca pelo ideal a necessidade de aprender, nem que seja à força, que a vida é feita de derrotas e vitórias e que isso é importante para a formação básica de um adulto.

Já li duas vezes e esse livro e mesmo assim continua sendo excelente.

Há algumas diferenças entre o filme como a partida de quadribol apitada por Snape que não aconteceu no filme, Neville tem mais participações no livro do que no filme, quando na parte que eles tão de castigo e eles têm que ir pra floresta ajudar Hagrid.

Ainda acho o livro melhor que o filme, por ser mais completo.

Enfim, excelente pra um começo de série.

I am re-doing this review because I feel like my other review was not perfect so I am going to make it even better. 
 
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling.

 Rowling’s storytelling was absolutely amazing. The characters were well developed. The story was easy to get. There was never a dull moment in this book. There was tones of action and funny little moments in the books that made this book 100 times better than what it actually was. 

	When my dad read this book to my siblings. I was far too young to really understand the meaning and the magical moments of this book. Now that I am older and actually got into adventure and mystery books, I fully understand why this book got so much praise. It is so amazing.

	I read the illustrated version of this book and all I can say is that it made this book even better than it was before. The pictures were a perfect way to really get a image in your head if you never watched the movie or you just have a hard time picturing. The illustrations were also gorgeous. I loved how Jim Kay drew what he thought the characters looked like (my sisters discovery). He used what he thought the characters looked like in his head and not in the movie. 

	I really really really loved this book. I recommend this book to anyone. This book was amazing and I really want to read the other books in the series. 

xoxo,
Bebe

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: Minalima Edition (Harry Potter, Book 1), Volume 1

Olena Dorosh Stsira

Reading this book, specially this minalima’s editions was magical. It’s so nice and easy to read, I couldn’t stop thinking about the scenes in the movie and the voices of all the actors. It’s such an incredible sensation. But the minalima’s illustrations and how you can interact with some of them was my favourite part. All books must have some illustrations, it makes everything more interesting!!! :D

Did not enjoy this as much as I thought I would! I loved HP growing up but reading as an adult there's so many questions I have and so many plot holes!

First time I read Harry Potter. I read the Vietnamese version book, and the truly interesting part is when Harry not choose Slytherin when he has a chance, but Gryffindor. When I was an adult, at 33, and next year I will earn a scholarship for a MBA in US, I enjoy my life with the book.
Truly interesting, truly dark
I will enjoy the movies and the video games just released in 2021 to more knowledge about him

This was a reread, and it felt like going home again ❤️

No offense but this book had me bored to my assbone.

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

5 stars, obviously. My smoll heart can't take the preciousness of 12 year old Harry, Ron and Hermione. 

Loved every illustration in this book Jim Kay did an amazing job!!

I LOVE IT LOVE IT ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT I can't believe it took me so long to read it

A pretty decent book. Pretty predictable in parts but, still a good read. Hopefully the rest of the series will get more interesting.

Cindy McKee

1998.... Let that sink in for a bit. That was the year of the very first book in the Harry Potter series. The year thousands of people discovered a beautiful new world created by a first time Author. The year thousands of children began to love reading. One book, the first of seven, and it's still brilliant after all these years. And will be, hundreds of years from now. Always.

Na de dood van zijn ouders woont Harry Potter in de bezemkast bij zijn zeer onvriendelijke tante en oom. Op zijn elfde hoort hij dat hij een tovenaar is. Dat verandert zijn hele leven. Vanaf ca. 11 jaar.

Harry Potter en de Steen der Wijzen

Really good book for escapism. The story is a timetaking breathtaker. It feels like your living in the made up characters which are described very detailed. 

Sjoukje Posthumus 

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 enjoyed this, even though I had already seen the movie.  It's a pleasurable and quick read (I think it took me two nights).  Light-hearted and fun.
