First book in a series of 7 books. Beautifully told children's tale of a 11 year old boy who finds out that he's a wizard. Really good storytelling. This first book & #s 3 & 7 are my favorite in the series. This book focuses on showing Harry going from a setting where he was unloved and an outsider to his new school where he finds true friendship and a place he belongs and where he’s, for the most part, welcomed. I was so interested in this story. J.K. Rowling writes in such a way that I cared about the characters and her imagination is great as she creates an extremely detailed and unusual (but familiar too) alternate world. A fantasy book but as with all good fantasy books, there’s a lot of reality in there, especially in the relationships between the people, or this case, wizards & witches. There is also a message about the power of love. This book series will be a classic. Serious stories that are told with a lot of humor.
