Summary
"Turning
the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal
bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake
surrounding a large letter 'H'."
Harry
Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start
dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in
green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly
confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh
birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid
bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and
he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An
incredible adventure is about to begin!
My
opinion
(I want to
tell you that I'm not English, so I know I made faults in this text)
I loved it !
This book was a wonderful reading and I really enjoy to go to
Hogwarts with Harry, Ron and Hermione ! This universe of magic
is fabulous and it embark us for pleasure moments ! I've ever
read this book three times in french, and this reading in english
stay a pleasure, like before ! The cover of the book is also
beautiful and the calligraphy of the title and its golden colour is
magnificent ! I've also learn a lot of words, with this english
reading, and I think it's better than learn english at school, it's
more funny !
You MUST
read this book, in english, french, spanish, italian or other
language, cause it's a real pleasure !
Note
20/20
I love it !
Extract
« Sir –
Professor Dumbledore ? Can I ask you something ? »
« Obviously,
you've just done so, Dumbledore smiled. You may ask me one more
thing, however. »
« What
do you see when you look in the mirror ? »
« I ?
I see myself holding a pair of thick, woollen socks. »
Harry stared.
« One
can never have enough socks, said Dumbledore. Another christmas has
come and gone and I didn't get a single pair. People will insist on
giving me books. »
It was only
when he was back in bed that it struck Harry that Dumbledore might
not have been quite truthful. But then, he thought, as he shoved
Scabbers off his pillows, it had been quite a personal question. »
