The author's purpose in writing this book was to show us another world. One that is full of Magic. The author wanted to show us an amazing place that could not be in our modern society.

I am reading this book because it is a fantasy and my friends always talk this book and I would like to understand them. The book has been interesting.

Now the magic is starting with all the letters, the owls and the appearance of Hagrid.
