The harry potter and the sorceress stone book is awesome to read. This book is the start of the whole harry potter year. What you will read in this book would be basically how he started at Hogwarts and his first year. This book has a great story and ending. You find more in the book than the movie which that is the case with every single book out there. In this book you will be able to get to know each character and where they came from. I like this book because it is the start of the first year and you get to know all about the wizard and why he was chosen to do all of this fighting and protecting of Hogwarts. This book has more in it then anything and it is very fun to read. I would recomend that you and your friends read this book to see what you think of it.
