A Book Review By Dan 

One of my favourite books is “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” by J. K. Rowling. It’s a fantasy story set in Hogwarts School, England. It’s the story of a boy called Harry Potter who became an orphan very early. He goes through wonderful adventures together with his friends. Harry is a model character who is full of courage and the determination to fulfill his mission. The plot has a number of interesting twists and the ending of every chapter is very exciting. When Harry Potter is 11 years old, he is admitted to Hogwarts School of magicians. At school he gets acquainted with Hermione and Ron. They become his close friends and supporters in everything he does. It happens so that Harry is involved in the story connected with the philosopher’s stone. Harry starts fighting with evil. I liked the book for a number of reasons. The author has created an amazing fantasy world. The story is enchanting and I found it difficult to put down. The characters are convincing, and I identified strongly with Harry. I love all the adventures, the jokes and magical spells in this book. I thoroughly recommend Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and all other books in the series to both children and adults
