I read the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone by J.K. Rowling. This book took place in England and Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone is about Harry Potter who's parents were murdered by Voldemort the "dark lord". Harry is sent to live with his aunt Petunia and her family uncle Vernon and Dudley by Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall and Hagrid the game keeper. Professor Snape teaches potions, Professor Quirrell is the defense against the dark arts teacher, Ron and Hermione are Harry's best friends and adventure companions and Malfoy is a student that they dislike.

After years of living in the Dursley's house Harry gets his first letter. Uncle Vernon destroys every letter that was send to harry so one Sunday the house got flooded with letters from Hogwarts. Uncle Vernon takes his family to a cabin far away to get away from the letters. Hagrid barges in at night and informs Harry about Hogwarts. In Hogwarts Harry meets a boy and girl named Ron and Hermione who become his best friends. They go on many adventures together and roam the school at night together. They find out about the Sorcerer's stone and suspect professor Snape is out to get it. On the night they suspect he will steal the stone they sneak out to save it but hary finds out the it was in fact professor Quirrell who was out to get it. Harry puts up a tough fight with prefessor Quirrell and wakes up days later in the hospital wing. He attends the feast and Gryffindor wins the house cup.

The theme of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone is courage and friendship because Harry, Hermione and Ron were courageous and stood up to what they believed is right and didn't stop til they got what they wanted. Also no matter what happened they always stood up for each other and didn't let anything stand in the way of their friendship.

I rate this book 5/5 starts because i really enjoyed reading it and love the Harry Potter series. This book taught me that their is nothing more important than the value of friendship and to always stick up for your friends
