『The book that started it all』
This is first of a seven book story the school life of the now famous character Harry Potter.

This is an ongoing story of a young wizard and his pals coming of age and his adventures in learning how to deal with people and situations that become more of a challenge as he advances through age. This first book is lighter hearted as Harry is still young sees the world in black and white, with true heroes and those that must not be named. The book can stand alone however the story really spans seven books and as Harry grows up the world is no linger black and whit but murky yet thrilling.

There is a lot more depth and research that went into this series than the superficial story that holds it together. You may want to pick up some of the supplementary books and the one describing where J.K. Rowling picked up the background information.

What I fond to be fun is to collect different covers of the book. One of me favorite is the Paperback from England that shows a real train instead of the comic train version.

If you are real adventurous the book has been translated into several languages including Latin.
