I'm so sorry again/ Harry Potter and the Sorcerer/Philosopher's Stone, J. K. Rowling, grrr...ratings, 309/223 pages

   Okay, so after camping (yes, in the woods) for almost two weeks, then heading to a camp where computer access is hard to find, once again, I've read about 2,000,000 books and haven't blogged. I'll TRY to make up for it!!!!

   As you saw, this is supposed to be about Harry Potter, and I know almost everyone knows the basic story, but, oh well. Also, you saw I had the Philosopher's Stone up on the title, and that's the English version, just in case you live in the UK. Same with the two page numbers. Anyway...

   Harry Potter is a wizard. But the thing is, he has no clue, because his horrid uncle and aunt (who he has to stay with as his parents were killed by Voldemort, second most powerful wizard in the world) hide all the mysterious letters Harry receives. Uncle Vernon does his best to prevent it, but Hagrid (someone from the school) comes anyway and leads him to buy supplies for his new school, Hogwarts. There Harry makes new friends, learns interesting subjects, and has a place he can finally call home. But Hagrid is acting suspicious about something, and it takes Harry coming face to face with Voldemort to sort it out.

  And the rating: if you've read this series, you'll agree that these books seem so different (in a good way) from others that you can't rate them, so I'm not.
