It is the first novel in the Harry Potter series and Rowling's debut novel, first published in 1997 by Bloomsbury. But all these effort didn't attract “more and more” of new youth readers as intended, it just made more and more books for those few who already reads. The plot follows Harry Potter, a young wizard who discovers his magical heritage as he makes close friends and a few enemies in his first year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

For more information go to www.bloomsbury.com As expected, the illustrations brought this book to a whole new level. I legitimately want to buy another copy, solely to take it apart and frame it.Picture the magic with these dazzling, full-colour illustrated editions of the Harry Potter series (featuring complete and unabridged text). Only rarely does a story come along that can so completely wrap you up in a warm blanket of contentment and good feelings. One that can hold at bay, even if only for precious moments, the nasty brutishness of what often passes for daily life. These stories do that. And for those “few who read”, book stores mostly got for them comics and graphic novels, which most of them created early this century.
My first encounter with magic schools was in The Worst Witch series (1974) which centres on a magic school and which I began in 1974. Followed by A Wizard of Earthsea (1968) which also centres on a magic school and which I read in 1975. The vast numbers of those who don’t just read will increase if there isn't a BIG new attractive Reading Experience to get them into reading, specially with the more channels, more movies. even in Israel which made a big religious fuss because the Book Stores opened to receive and sell the book at the releasing day which was their holy Saturday, But it's Harry Potter after all, the world's most unusual, unexpected phenomenon and sales records breaker.I totally forgot how horrible the Dursleys are and I think I kind of suppressed how dreadful Dudley is! Such a spoilt brat and this is actually putting it more than just lightly. If anyone should go to a boot camp sort of school it certainly should be him. Granted...no aspect of the story is revolutionary, or even particularly noteworthy, from the standpoint of blazing new trails within the fantasy genre. It isn’t great literature, and nothing about its technical merits makes it befitting of even a fraction of its unprecedented success.
Bless Hagrid for being the kind and compassionate man that he is! <3 Those lines went down in Harry Potter history and started it all! XD As wonderful and magical as promised. Because I didn't remember the movie, the third act of the book was a delightful surprise to me. But what version should you read? With the profusion of editions now available it can be difficult to know which books you might want to buy or gift unless you have already spent some time shopping around. Below, our Children’s Editor surveys the options and makes a personal selection of the most beautiful editions.The Rowling Library is an online medium that publishes a digital monthly magazine, has reported exclusive news, and has done several fan projects, such as the Rowling Index.
