Although she writes under the pen name J.K. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. She calls herself Jo and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly.
Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. They married on 14 March 1965. Her mother's maternal grandfather, Dugald Campbell, was born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Her mother's paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War.
Rowling's sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. The family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when Rowling was four. She attended St Michael's Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More. Her headmaster at St Michael's, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration for the Harry Potter headmaster Albus Dumbledore.
As a child, Rowling often wrote fantasy stories, which she would usually then read to her sister. She recalls that: "I can still remember me telling her a story in which she fell down a rabbit hole and was fed strawberries by the rabbit family inside it. Certainly the first story I ever wrote down (when I was five or six) was about a rabbit called Rabbit. He got the measles and was visited by his friends, including a giant bee called Miss Bee." At the age of nine, Rowling moved to Church Cottage in the Gloucestershire village of Tutshill, close to Chepstow, Wales. When she was a young teenager, her great aunt, who Rowling said "taught classics and approved of a thirst for knowledge, even of a questionable kind," gave her a very old copy of Jessica Mitford's autobiography, Hons and Rebels. Mitford became Rowling's heroine, and Rowling subsequently read all of her books.
Rowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, "I wasn’t particularly happy. I think it’s a dreadful time of life." She had a difficult homelife; her mother was ill and she had a difficult relationship with her father (she is no longer on speaking terms with him). She attended secondary school at Wyedean School and College, where her mother had worked as a technician in the science department. Rowling said of her adolescence, "Hermione [a bookish, know-it-all Harry Potter character] is loosely based on me. She's a caricature of me when I was eleven, which I'm not particularly proud of." Steve Eddy, who taught Rowling English when she first arrived, remembers her as "not exceptional" but "one of a group of girls who were bright, and quite good at English." Sean Harris, her best friend in the Upper Sixth owned a turquoise Ford Anglia, which she says inspired the one in her books.

I reread this book after a few years, this time in English and it stays as one of my favourite books of all time. Every single chapter is as enjoyable as the other. It's such an intuitive and fun book to read. I will never get bored of this series, because the plot makes so much sense in my head. Reading this book sparked the joy for writing in me many years ago and rereading it now has done exactly the same. I will keep on rereading this book for many years to come, may my copy be falling apart, I shall still keep on reading it.

I know that in 2022 is strange to say, but this is the first time that I read something about Harry Potter (I also haven't watched the films) and even if I know something important of the plot, I'm Very curious to continue reading this amazing story. I've read the Italian version and I really hope that the translated version is quite simile to the original one. The plot of this book is very beautiful and simple, we start from a flashback where we see Silente, Hagrid and Teacher McGollagan that take Harry to their uncles hoping that they will teach him the important things to know about magician but they aren't gonna do that. Harry lives all of his childhood like a normal child but when he become 11 years old he find out that he's a Magician but not a normal one, he's a very important magician. Soo he is gonna find out everything about Hogwarts and like us he is gonna live in a total different world where he fell accepted. To sum up, I really have loved this book and today I start the second one.
P.S. it's strange that in 2022 we still don't know who have wrote this saga, it's reeeeeeelly strange.

HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE- It is an amazing book filled with suspense, thrill and monsters too. The best suspense part was the end when Gryffindor wins instead of Slytherin. I was shocked when instead of Snape, Quirrell was working for Voldemort. It was very funny that the mountain troll was knocked-out by Ron using the troll's own club!

The main idea of the book is that there is a boy named harry potter who lives with his aunt and uncle and there kid Dudley. until one day he gets a letter on his eleventh birthday from (Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.)
The reason i liked the book is that funny,action filled and i also like that are some sad moments in the book.

November 17, 2024i loved the book! It is full of hope, imagination and aspiration!! It is rich in adventure and lots of sweet moments of friendships and humanity. I would recommend it to young children as this book will show them the world full of bravery, knowledge, friendship and above all believe in oneself!! 10/10 from me

I love Harry Potter so much it’s unreal. And I think this is a top 3 book in the series at least for me. Might be nostalgia but I didn’t read this until college so, you tell me if it’s nostalgia bias. Also while I’m here can I just say, quidditch makes waaaaaaaay more sense in the books. This whole “grab the snitch and you win” thing in the movies is ridiculous and makes literally every other position, ball, and goal in quidditch completely useless. Having the snitch end the game and give the team who catches it 150 points makes way more sense. It’s still OP but at least offers for a scenario where one could win without catching the snitch. Just one of the many things better in the books.

First time I’ve fully read a Harry Potter book in English (as I had previously only read 1 book for a few chapters in Dutch), and I absolutely adored every single thing about this. I hadn’t properly read a book in a few years, so I wanted to start with something ‘simple’ and this was the perfect choice. Super magical, easy to read, noticeable differences from the movie (obviously) and it honestly just throws you in this majestic, magical wizarding world and has you hooked from the get go.
Very excited to read the next one :)

El libro está muy bueno y sinceramente en este libro Snape no me cayó tan mal, bueno al inicio si un poco pero ya después cuando aclararon que el estaba tratando de evitar que Harry se cayera de la escoba, me dejo de caer mal aún así me cae mal, ya que no tenía porque quitarle puntos injustificadamente a Gryffindor.
PD: El libro es bastante bueno y me encantó que la pelicula le haya sido muy fiel a este.

Me encantó por completo, Harry es un personaje increíble por el que tuve mucha simpatía y me cayó genial, Hermione y Ron también son geniales. NO ME ESPERÉ EL PLOT TWIST AL FINAL, PERO sin duda me encantó ya que llegamos a conocer más a Snape, quien todavía no me cae del todo por todos los puntos que quitó a Gryffindor jeje.

Adoré este libro con mi alma, a decir verdad es muy bueno, los primeros capítulos se me hicieron muy densos y pesados, pero poco a poco me fuí enganchando con la trama, note el desarrollo de los personajes, hubo párrafos que salte, porque se me hicieron muy rellenos, J.K Rowling tiene un talento nato para escribir, y me encantó

4.25 fajna książka. Osobiście nigdy nie czytałam ani nie oglądałam Harrego Pottera więc wszystko było dla mnie nowością. Myślę że wielu osoba by się spodobało i pewnie nie długo sięgnę po 2 część

"Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone" is the magical beginning of one of the most beloved series of all time written by English writer JK Rowling. Even if you dont like Rowling as a person, you can't deny the fact that she created one of the most loved fantasy book series of all time. For me, I got into this 'magical world of wizards and witches' after the movies and after that I got addicted to it and always loved learning more about the lore of the wizarding world.
This first part starts with Harry,an ordinary boy who discovered on his 11th birthday that he is a Wizard. From the moment Hagrid kicks down a door and tells Harry 'yer a wizard',it's pure magic. You have got a flying motorcycle, a 3 headed dog, moving staircases, enchanted Jelly Beans and VOLDAMORT! What more do you want in a wizarding world? Harrys 1st year at Hogwarts is the ultimate School experience. You make friends, fight trolls, learn spells and try not to get expelled for sneaking around at night with the invisibility clock. Ron is the lovable one, Hermione is the brilliant Boss we all aspire to be and Harry? He is just trying to figure out how to play quiditch without dying. It's fun, adventures and its got the right touch of danger. Also, House points! It doesn't make any sense but I love it! Harry enters the world of potions, spells, wizards, magical creatures and dark secrets.
The story is full of Wonder from Daigon Alley to the Great Hall at Hogwarts. Every setting is vivid and exciting. In the end,the story is about friendship, courage and discovering your true self. It's written in an accessible and engaging style perfect for young readers but enjoyable for the adults too.
Whatever your age is, this book makes you wish you got your Hogwarts letter too!

After having read and reviewed this book last year, I decided to re-read them after receiving the ENTIRE series for Christmas. I'm so glad I did! Despite already knowing the plot, the story felt almost like reading it for the first time. The pace of the book is so fast and packed with events that it's easy to forget details, and even more so when reading it a second time. The constant challenges and adventures made it feel fresh and exciting, which I loved. That said, I didn't enjoy the constant reinstatement of names. I felt I read hagrids name again and again and again at the beginning of the book, the frequent mention of his name felt excessive, and it gave me a headache at times. Additionally, there were moments when the book went from vivid descriptions to scenes that felt sparse, leaving me to fill gaps in on my own. At times, I could visualise the action, but others times, had to rely on imagination (but I suppose that's part of being a children's book? Might just be my brain nitpicking problems). Despite the small quirks, I enjoyed this book and it's magic, I'm excited to read on!

An absolute classic that I’m so glad I read!!
Not sure how I made it to 17 without ever reading Harry Potter, but I’m so glad I finally got around to it. I’ve watched the movies 100 times and love them, this book was just the same. It’s just easy reading, it doesn’t take up too much brain power and it’s a cozy one to read, for me the whole Harry Potter, wizarding world is just so comforting and despite knowing what was going to happen it was a great read.
For me it’s not a 5 because at no point am I like wow, purely because I know what’s going to happen. Some of the bonuses and extras we get I really enjoyed! especially the extras at the start with the dursleys on the day Harry arrived on their doorstep, I was just loving it.
I will most definitely be reading the rest of the series and I’m so looking forward to discovering book Ginny, as it’s obviously very talked about that book Ginny and movie Ginny are like 2 different people, getting more bonus scenes and diving back into the wizarding world!!

Even though, it was my first ever book I actually read fully, I'm sure it's possible to talk about my opinion on it. I did watch the movies but never the souce, so I took myself deep in that story with the first book and I absolutely Loved it.
Not only, it is better than the movie, but the way it was so easy to get invested into the world as id you're there, walking the journey along with harry and the others. It felt so real and well done!! The way it starts with building up the world, and than getting a close hand at harry's unfortunate life with that family. I lile how it was easy to covey the emotions and hardship he had to endure and than suddenly get into a strange world he never knew existed.
The story of the first book is very simple and isn't too complex but the way it makes you want to read more from the mystery of it all, is the greatest thing about it.
If you do want to ever read the book of something very famous, even though you already watched the movies, do not worry, because the books are pretty different in both details and some areas.

I had always been a big fan of Harry Potter movies. Never really patience to read books and know the story. Hence as a kid I watched all the movies. Books as a kid was only academics books.
Now when I grew up and ended up in corporate world from last 7 years now. I felt a need to look back to my innocent little days of childhood. This books took me back to those memories when I first time heard about the name Harry Potter, watched the movie for the first time and wondered why this school exists only in foreign and not in India. Haha.
Amazing read. Definitely a dessert to the brain in the world today. Imagination of the author is something i never realized while watching but could not stop appreciating while reading.
But same side, the movie has done justice, it’s a good adaptation of book and the casting is awesome. 😍

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone tells Harry’s first year at Hogwarts, where his weird, tense relationship with Snape keeps you guessing, especially since Snape seems to hate him for no clear reason. Meanwhile, Harry becomes real friends with Ron and Hermione, and you can see how they start trusting each other as they deal with all the strange stuff happening around the school. The book slowly builds up to the reveal that Voldemort is still out there, dropping hints that something much darker is going on. Hagrid’s love for magical creatures—no matter how dangerous they are—adds a lot of heart and makes the world feel more alive. Overall, it’s a fun, interesting story that mixes mystery, friendship, and growing danger really well.
