Synopsis

Eleven-year-old Harry Potter was a baby when his parents died, and since that time he has been living with his horrible Uncle Vernon, dislikable Aunt Petunia, and truly disgusting cousin Dudley. Miserable and lonely, Harry is shocked when he receives a letter inviting him to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. At this special school, which is kept a secret from all those not involved in the worlds of magic, Harry begins to learn the truth about the death of his parents and discovers his own unbelievably amazing family history. This book is the first entry in the phenomenally popular Harry Potter series of books. Enjoyed by both children and adults, these books literally changed the face of children's publishing when, as a result of their stunning popularity, the New York Times began compiling and publishing a list of best-selling children's books--for the first time in that newspaper's history.

I tried reading this but kept feeling a pecking in the back of my brain what is that? That is my brain telling me jk rowling is an occultist that can't reach readers out of the loop I remember trying to read this when I was younger but I couldn't get through the first chapter p.s. She published Harry potter as the j.k. Rowling to spread her book around faster don't believe me YouTube it and there will be a whole bunch of interviews that she admits it and whats Harry a witch and the bible says let not a witch liveth next door or something like that so no more Harry potter

I absolutely hated this book before. I would read the first few chapters and get incredibly bored.One day I just kept reading, and soon after I loved the book and the rest of the series. Don't just watch the movie - read the book! :
