Story: On Harry Potter's 12th birthday, a giant man named Hagrid arrives to take Harry to a school called Hogwarts so that he can learn to be a wizard. What's special about Harry is that he is the only known survivor of an evil wizard named Voldemort who killed many infants, kids and adults. When rumor spreads that Voldemort is back and is looking for the Sorcerer's Stone. All of Hogwarts is kept under careful supervision but what they don't know is that Voldemort is among the schools staff.

Critique: One thing I liked about the book was the characters. The way situations ended out made the reader satisfied. When Malfoy threw Ron's ball and it lead to Harry joining the Quidditch team was surprising. Lots of characters are on Harry's side including most of the school's staff. 
          Something I didn't like about the book is that Harry has it a lot easier than anyone else because he's a celebrity. If he gets into trouble his consequences aren't as severe as they would be for any other kid. Teachers let lots of the things he does slip away and they ignore their instinct with him. 
          Another thing I didn't like about the book is that Harry found out about the wizard world when he turned 12. There was a letter That explained everything and his guardians kept it all away from him. It didn't make sense because his aunt and uncle hated him and seemed like they wanted him to stay with them.
