I'm sure it won't be news to anyone by now
that I love all the Harry Potter books. But I think 'The Philosopher's Stone'
is one of my favourites. Mostly because it started off the magic for me.
You meet Harry and his horrid relatives
and journey with him as he discovers he is part of a secret wizarding world.
The thing I loved most about it was the
idea that the wizarding world is all around us, but we Muggles (non-magical folk) are too unobservant to
notice. When I see a cat sitting on a wall I always think it might be Professor McGonagall! Or when I see a streetlamp go out, I
immediately think it's Professor Dumbledore using his Deluminator.
When I read it for the first time I
couldn't put it down. You join Harry as he discovers he is a wizard. He then has
to battle an evil dark wizard as well as getting his Potions homework finished!
For magic, mates and moody teachers – ‘Harry
Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ is an essential read.
