Well J.K Rowling certainly knows how to interest people. The plot is somewhat medievel and by the looks of it its a mixture of old times and new ones.
She certainly hasnt stuck up to anytime line. On one end she says Dursleys are afraid about magic and what would people think about them on the other hand she talks about underground and auto ticket barriers and stuff.
Well interestingly enough, the book when released in 1997 went unnoticed, but the fever spread dangerously and people bought it and recommended to others.
The book is so awsome if you read it for the first time after a while you hope you finish it off that day. oh! cant stand the suspence. The plot is great Details are realy picturesque. I mean I could really imagine the colour of the great halls walls or maybe just how odd it looked when people dissapeared through the barrier on kings cross. She has given detailed description of things yet confined her wrtings to a mere 223 pages.
Amazing it is yet so simple!
There are some breathtaking movements during Harrys year in hogwarts and we are really made to think who the culprit of the ongoing things is.
The story takes sharp turns now and then with THE UNEXPECTED lurking just around the next corridor.
There are funny parts and dangerous parts, Rowlings description of quiditch (the wizard sport) is so magnified as if youre watching it on youre TV sets.
A good book for children, teens and young people alike. Nice for intensive reading or light bedtime reading. But yeah I would recommend it to anyone who has a some spare time and wants to start reading books.
Its a start to a great journey through 7 volumes (I guess its 7) and I am gonna follow it close.
