Advantages: good story, well written

Disadvantages: none

I decided to read this book because everyone kept going on to me to read it! I also wanted to read it before the film came out.

It’s written very much in a Roald Dahl style and even though the book is written for kids I still enjoyed it and will definitely be reading it again!

The story is about a boy called Harry Potter (surprisingly). His parents were killed when he was a baby and he lives with his Aunt and Uncle and cousin who don’t treat him that well and make him sleep in the broom cupboard! He finds out that he is a wizard and is invited to attend a wizard school. He finds out that his parents were wizards too and that’s why his Aunt and Uncle don’t like him. His parents were killed by ‘you know who’, a dark wizard but ‘you know who’ was unable to kill Harry. When Harry attends the school he finds a lot more than he expected.

This is one of the best books I have read, once I started I couldn’t put it down. The description everything in the book makes it easy to imagine what it’s like. The writer has come up with some great ideas of wizard life – even wizard talk, for example normal people are called Muggles! You find out how wizards live, different spells and even how they shop.

I would definitely recommend reading this book, even adults will enjoy it. I am on the second one now and I can’t wait for the film!

I have decided that I should be a wizard, I will be going for my cloak fitting next week and have saved up for my wand! Anyone who wants to meet up send me an owl!
