I can't believe it's been 23 years since this book came out. I know a lot of people read it including my son, but I wasn't interested. It took a reading funk for me to have a look and no, I've not watched the movies. I can see why this series has captured the imagination of children and adults alike, perhaps given them the love of reading. It's a brilliant beginning to a series filled with magic and wonder. Likeable characters and a world of mystery, what's not to love.

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!
