Cover synopsis: Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility. But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger.
This is such an imaginative book, and whenever I read it, I feel the wonder of being a kid again. Rowling has crafted a magical world, full of lively characters who are memorable yet realistic. It's every kid's dream to find a place they really belong...and to find out that you have secret magical powers doesn't hurt the dream either.
I've read this before, but I find myself coming back to Harry, Hermione and Ron time and again in my mind. It was time to return to them on the page. I've actually convinced my husband to read them along with me. He has refused to read them in the past, dismissing them as "children's books" and unsuitable for his adult life. He's in for a wonderful surprise.
