Harry Potter

An Extraordinary Reading Experience

      Harry Potter. "A delightful award-winning debut from an author who dances in the footsteps of P. L. Travers and Roald Dahl."-Publishers Weekly, starred review. That's what I think, too. This book is worthy enough to be read under the covers at night.Well, enough about the book.WHAT'S THE STORY!?

      This story is about a teenage boy named Harry Potter,who has never been the star of a Quidditch team, knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility-until a mysterious letter arrives by owl. The letter is an invitation to an incredible place that Harry will find unforgettable. For it's there that he finds friends, aerial sports, magic in everything from classes to meals, and a great destiny that's waiting for him-if Harry can survive the encounter.

      He finds out of his past history, of the evil wizard, Lord Voldemort, who killed his parents. The curse that had tried to kill Harry backfired, leaving Voldemort powerless and weak. But now he's growing back-and trying to destroy Harry.

      In the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , Harry misses death by an inch when he stops Professor Quirrel from stealing the Sorcerer's Stone, a stone which transforms any metal to pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal. The second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry defeats the memory of Tom Marvolo Riddle, who had been trying to demolish all of the students of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. 

      In the the third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry discovers his godfather, who was wrongly accused of a mass murder. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth book, Harry participates in the Triwizard Tournament, and finds out that Voldemort is back-and stronger than ever. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry meets a Professor with the personality of poisoned honey. Her name was Professor Umbridge.

      In the 6th book, Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, Harry discovers a mysterious wizard with a nickname of "Half-blood Prince", only to find that he is Harry's least favorite teacher, Professor Snape.

On the last and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Voldemort takes one last stab at Harry, and finally is destroyed.

      Finally I'm done! I hope this blog post will count as two since it is very long. I really recommend these books to people who have not read it. Harry Potter is Awesome! :-)
