Harry Potter and the Scorers Stone

I am starting to do book reviews on different books that I have read. My first review is going to be on the first book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
     Harry Potter is a boy who lives with his aunt Petunia, uncle Vernon, and cousin Dudley Dursley. They are very mean and disrespectful to him. Every time Harry asked about his parents his aunt would say they died in a car crash(supposedly). Harry has always dreamed of some unknown relation coming to take him away but it has never happened. They go to the zoo for Dudley's birthday and Harry ends up setting a large snake on him(possibly). When he tries to explain to his aunt and uncle that it wasn't his fault and that the glass just disappeared like magic they don't believe him.Later pounds of letters for Harry from someone unknown arrive for him and his uncle looses it and takes them far away to live in a hose in the middle of the ocean. the first night there a half giant comes and gives Harry a letter from Albus Dumbledor, headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and wizardry.The giant tells Harry that his parents didn't die in a car crash that they were murdered by an evil wizard. He also tells Harry that he was a wizard and asks if Harry would rather go with him or stay with the Dursleys. Will Harry go with the giant called Hagrid and will he come face to face with the man who killed his parents? Read this book to find out.
     This book is especially good for people who love a good mostly fantasy/mystery book. It is filled with the adventures that Harry goes on with his new friends, Ron Weasely and Hermione Granger.
J.K. Rowling is one of my favorite authors and I'm sure you will love her books too.
