Date read: 1 - 8 January 2017
Length: 332 pages

Harry lives with his Aunt and Uncle with no knowledge of the fact he is a wizard. Until he is bombarded with letters inviting him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is sorted into the Gryffindor house, makes the Quidditch team, and passes his exams. But evil is lurking, and it seems Harry and his friends are the only ones brave enough to stop it.

This book is very easy to read, I found it difficult to put down! The imagination involved is incredible, it really is like you're transported into another world. There's so much going on and a lot to learn, but not overwhelmingly so.

The characterisation is amazing too. They're believable, and have very different traits. Some are likeable, some are not.

I can't wait to read more at Harry's second year at Hogwarts!
