I think anyone would be overjoyed o find out they were a wizard, not least of all if you had been living in a cupboard for 10 years and had no real reason why your parents had died. This is what Harry Potter finds out after receiving mysterious letters and a visit from a half giant. And in the simple statement of "You're a wizard", his life is changed forever. Journey with Harry as he goes to school, makes friends, learns about his past and faces the dark dangers that haunt him wherever he goes. This book is an absolute must for any child and it is already a classic. JK Rowling writes so well and you will feel like you are there with Harry, Ron and Hermione as they experience adventure, magic and danger. Not just a book for children, adults can read along or on their own as well. One of my favourite books ever.

Summary: this book will get kids to read
