Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone | J.K. Rowling
In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry, an orphan, lives with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. One day just before his eleventh birthday, an owl tries to deliver a mysterious letterthe first of a sequence of events that end in Harry meeting a giant man named Hagrid. Hagrid explains Harry's history to him: When he was a baby, the Dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, attacked and killed his parents in an attempt to kill Harry; but the only mark on Harry was a mysterious lightning-bolt scar on his forehead. Now he has been invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where the headmaster is the great wizard Albus Dumbledore. Harry visits Diagon Alley to get his school supplies, especially his very own wand. To get to school, he takes the Hogwarts Express from platform nine and three-quarters at King's Cross Station. On the train, he meets two fellow students who will become his closest friends: Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Harry is assigned to Gryffindor House at Hogwarts, and soon becomes the youngest-ever Seeker on the House Quidditch team. He also studies Potions with Professor Severus Snape, who displays a deep and abiding dislike for Harry, and Defense Against the Dark Arts with nervous Professor Quirrell; he and his friends defeat a mountain troll, help Hagrid raise a dragon, and explore the wonderful, fascinating world of Hogwarts. But all events lead irrevocably toward a second encounter with Lord Voldemort, who seeks an object of legend known as the Sorcerer's Stone

Breaking News for ALL Harry Potter Fans!

🪄📚🎬📺💝.

DogMomIrene I‘m not usually a fan of reboots, but I‘ll be watching this one✨ 3d
AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene 😉👍💝💝💝.

I usually give reboots a try just to weigh them against the original.

The best reboot I've seen lately was Fantasy Island on FOX TV. It only lasted for two seasons. I had never cared for any of the previous attempts to rebook this show until this one. Roselyn Sánchez played Elena Roarke, the niece to the original Fantasy Island's
Mr. Roarke which had been blayed by the legendary actor Ricardo Montalban.

👇
3d
AnnCrystal It was more of a continuation that was respectful to the original storyline...

Miss that show.

With Harry Potter, I will have to wait for a DVD release...Hope it's good 🤞😉.

📚🎬📺💝👍.
(edited) 3d
DogMomIrene @AnnCrystal I liked the reboot for Battlestar Galactica years ago, but I think it‘s because I love science fiction and I was pretty young when the original came out. 3d
AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene 🚀✨📺☺️💝.

Wonder if it will be mostly a new generation who comes to the new Harry Potter TV series????

This story is one that I would love to get to read as a chapter book to one of my classes. It is so descriptive and shows how we can create the imaginative worlds and put them into writing. I think this would engage young readers and get the exciting about both reading and writing. You could also go off and create whole lessons in different subjects based on this book.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone is a wonderful speculative fiction book that follows Harry Potter who learns about a world of wizardry that he was born into on his 11th birthday. The first book looks into his first year at boarding school which is at a school for wizards, and introduces the magical world of Hogwarts and the friends and adventures he encounters along the way.

🍁Strong, quiet, dedicated
🍁🍁 I don‘t mind this perspective, but personally doesn‘t entirely capture my essence but others might disagree I guess
🍁🍁🍁 I‘ve been trying to think all day about this and really can‘t think of much, maybe Hermione Granger is the one that comes to mind, especially since rereading this with our boys right now.

Confession time: I‘ve never made it through Harry Potter, but I‘ve read Book 1 and part of Book 2 so long ago I can‘t really remember. I‘ve collected various versions (originals, illustrated, Kindle, audio, the set with Hogwarts on the spine), so I‘m all set to make it happen. Here we (the dogs and I) go…🧙‍♀️

Rereading the series with @ruthmoeller for the millionth time. It always brings me such comfort. I couldn‘t help noticing this time how incredible Mrs. Weasley and Hagrid are to Harry. Before either of them even know him well, they welcome him and make him feel like family with gifts at Christmas, kind words, and an understanding that he needs friends and not fans. Also, Hogwarts is a ridiculously dangerous school to send your kids to. 🤣

After weeks of bailing on almost everything (this is only the 3rd book I‘ve finished this month which is unheard of for me), I decided to take the advice Littens always seem to give each other about ending book slumps - change genres or reread an old favorite. I decided to let Jim Dale reread HP for me. I don‘t think the slump is broken, but I am grateful for the comfort (re)read. Onward to Chamber of Secrets

1. Nope. My mother says she saw this little cute girl one day at beach, asked her name and then she told her, “if I have another daughter, I will call her Gisela Marie”. And here I am with the name 😂

2. From my mother and father side just one, 2 years older than me but looks younger than me 🤷🏽‍♀️

3. I will go with a fantasy family... The Weasleys. The first book is so good to know them ❤️
