Rating: 9.0/10
This book, along with the Last Olympian, is a book I often pick up and reread, regardless of the fact that I've read it so many times I already know some pages by heart. This book is the start of a magnificent series that is filled with the vivid imagination of a brilliant author. The plot of this book centers on Harry Potter, a boy who finds out he is a great wizard who defeated the dark wizard who killed his parents when he was a baby.
Harry grows up and at the school of magic, Hogwarts, while playing quidditch (magical sport played on brooms), making friends and battling trolls. He discovers that that Voldermort, the dark wizard who killed his parents is seeking a stone which grants him eternal life, and stops him from regaining power. The thing that is so amazing about this book is that that Rowling includes every little detail in her writing so that the world in the story becomes a complex, exquisite journey with moving staircases, sports on broomsticks, and chocolate frogs.
What's even more amazing is that so much groundwork had to be laid out leading up to the 7th book, and a lot of it seen here, although 1st time readers don't know it. Another thing to admire about Rowling's stories is the depth of the characters. This is one of the few books that you feel that the characters are real because the personalities are so distinct and each of them has flaws just like real people. With all these great elemnts, the book comes together smoothly, and the words flow with a sense of purpose due to Rowling's delicate, elegant style of writing. Neatly transitioning from events, the ending is climactic and wonderful, but also makes clear that the story isn't over yet. Although I could go on for hours praising this amazing book, I'm just going end this saying that Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone is incredible book with an intricate and creative plot and characters.

This is the worst book in the series! I think.
