This is the first book of Harry Potter, if you like it there are six more to read. Harry Potter is a fantasy book that takes place in our time England and at a magic place called Hogwarts. The author JK Rowling is very good at describing the looks of the characters in the book, and it is easy to get a feeling about their appearances. Also the author makes an excellent job making you feel that you are in the book. She describes the setting and landscape so well that it is easy to get a feeling about it. The text is easy to read and the words are not hard to understand.
In this book you become acquainted with a boy called Harry and all the people he met in his first year at Hogwarts. It may seem that he is just an ordinary boy living with his aunt, cousin and his aunt’s husband, but that’s not the case. Harry is anything but ordinary. He is actually a wizard, and as it turns out, a famous one too. Apparently his parents were killed by a really evil wizard when he was only a baby, this wizard called Voldemort tried to kill Harry too, but the love from his mother made the killing spell from the wand backfire, and instead of killing Harry it almost killed Voldemort himself, leaving just a scar on Harry’s forehead. And for that reason Harry is famous in the whole magic world. He is the one that stopped Voldemort from his tyranny. When he arrives at Hogwarts, that is a school for magic, he makes new friends that later becomes his best friends, they are called Ron and Hermione. He also succeed in making enemies, one really annoying person that Harry does not like is called Malfoy. At Hogwarts you are accommodated to a special dorm, Hogwarts has 4 different ones, they are called Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenslaw. It is a special hat that you put on your head that decides who goes where. Harry and Hermione and Ron ends up in the same dorm, the one called Gryffindor. Harry also makes friends with some of the teachers at the school, in particular there is the gardener Hagrid, he is a half giant, and the principal Dumbledore. Harry and his friends find out about a stone, this stone in particularly gives the one who has it eternal life, and now they must find it before Voldemort does.
If you like magic, adventure, elves, giants, and other imaginary beings, this is the book for you. There is much more in this story to tell, but I feel that I must leave some room for you to explore this magic world for yourself. I highly recommend it.
I don’t know if there are a message in the book, just the normal; evil versus good.
