Book review Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone [spoiler]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is about a boy called Harry who's parents died and he is in fact a wizard. When Harry arrives at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry he finds out he will have to battle to his strengths to stop the Dark Lord becoming immortal. 


The story starts when Harry goes to the zoo for his cousin Dudley's birthday, halfway through the trip he discovers he can talk to snakes. Suddenly the glass off the snake cabinet vanished.  Dudley fell in, the snake slithered out and the glass reappeared.



Harry lives at number 4 Privet Drive, Little Winging, Surrey with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and his cousin Dudley  who all hate him and treat him like a slave and make him live in the cuboard under the stairs. one day Harry goes to get the post for his Aunt and Uncle when he finds a letter addressed to him ,as soon as Uncle Vernon sees the letter he rips it up and throws it in the bin. For the next week there had been at least nine thousand letters addressed  for Harry when Uncle Vernon decided to move. When Harry got to the new house he stayed up all night on his own,suddenly the door flung open and a giant man stomped in 

   " 'ello 'Arry " said the man " 'appy birthday "he handed Harry a birthday cake,

   " exuse me "  said harry " who are you ?"

  "Rubius Hagrid gamekeeper at Hogwarts " 

  " Hogwarts? " asked harry 

  " your a wizard harry " 



The next day Harry went to Diagon Alley with Hagrid. To get into Diagon Alley you have to go to the leaky Couldron wich is a London pub only wizards and witches can see. in the garden if you tap the bricks with your wand the wall will open up.

 When it came to buy his wand Hagrid said 

  " ill catch you later "
