SYNOPSIS:

Harry Potter has been orphaned and lives in the house of his abominable uncles and the unbearable cousin Dudley. Harry feels very sad and alone, until one day he receives a letter that will change his life forever. In it she is informed that she has been accepted as a student in the Hogwarts internal school of magic and sorcery. From that moment, Harry's luck takes a spectacular turn. In that special school you will learn enchantments, fabulous tricks and defensive tactics against bad arts. He will become the school champion of Quidditch, a sort of aerial football that is played on brooms, and will become a handful of good friends ... but also some fearsome enemies. But above all, you will know the secrets that will allow you to fulfill your destiny. Well, although it may not seem at first sight, Harry is not an ordinary kid. He is a true magician!

 PERSONAL OPINION (WITHOUT SPOILERS):

This is a book that I have read for years, but I read it again with the same emotion as the first time, I managed to have this special edition thanks to a very special person in my life.

It is a book full of adventures and magic, with attractive situations for lovers of fantasy and that is enjoyed both as a child and as an adult. It is a perfect introduction to this magical society, which leaves you wanting more and that, despite being the most childish book of the seven, contains infinite values.

Hogwarts is a truly magical place, not only in the obvious way, but also with all the details that the author has used to describe it in such an original way. It is the place everyone would wish to have gone to when they were eleven years old. And many adventures overtake the golden trio. The story is built towards an exciting conclusion that has the best factor to feel good.

Although this book has become a movie, I think you should read the books before watching the movies because you do not have the excitement of turning the page and reading frantically. After reading the first one you really want to read the following ones.

I really love this saga, because when you read them, you feel that you are inside the books.
