Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone | J.K. Rowling
For the first time, J.K. Rowling's beloved Harry Potter books will be presented in lavishly illustrated full-color editions. Kate Greenaway-award-winning artist Jim Kay has created over 100 stunning illustrations, making this deluxe format a perfect gift as much for a child being introduced to the series, as for the dedicated fan. Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility. All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley -- a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years. But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry -- and anyone who reads about him -- will find unforgettable.

After weeks of bailing on almost everything (this is only the 3rd book I‘ve finished this month which is unheard of for me), I decided to take the advice Littens always seem to give each other about ending book slumps - change genres or reread an old favorite. I decided to let Jim Dale reread HP for me. I don‘t think the slump is broken, but I am grateful for the comfort (re)read. Onward to Chamber of Secrets

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. Nope. My mother says she saw this little cute girl one day at beach, asked her name and then she told her, “if I have another daughter, I will call her Gisela Marie”. And here I am with the name 😂

2. From my mother and father side just one, 2 years older than me but looks younger than me 🤷🏽‍♀️

3. I will go with a fantasy family... The Weasleys. The first book is so good to know them ❤️

Though it's not about Harry Potter (just needed a way to post this 😅), I'm currently developing a new book tracking app, BookBee.me, and I'm eager to get feedback and suggestions from fellow book lovers.

I'd really appreciate it if you could share your ideas and what features you'd love to see in an app like this.

Feel free to reach out and tell me your suggestions!

Finished rereading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer‘s Stone for about the twentieth time, but this time with the illustrated book by Minalima. It‘s wonderful to see full pages worth of illustrations highlighting the details of the book.

SilversReviews Definitely not chess….never could grasp that game. I honestly don‘t have a favorite. Thanks for your post. A book with a chess board in it is: THE LAST CHECKMATE by Gabriella Saab - it‘s set during WWII so not a light read, but interesting. https://tinyurl.com/3k42sm2v (edited) 3mo

I remember my third grade teacher reading me this story, I was fascinated in the magic surrounding it, and it encouraged me to continue reading the series even though it was tricky for me to read, I believe this would be a good story to read aloud to children and get them excited about reading,

And we‘re off! Kicking off my #Scarathlon with a fairly tame magical audiobook, though it does have an awesome Halloween scene, as I‘m still #audiojournaling my way through my #bujo for this month. And I‘m still recovering from yesterday with a headache from the sun so no high stress reads today! It‘s only just Spring here & already 36C(97F).Not very Halloweeny weather🥵 #SpookyGhostClub 1pt

Clwojick Spring and 36! That‘s our middle of summer weather here! We get maybe 5-10 days a year that are 35 or hotter. It‘s rare we ever get much warmer than that! (edited) 6mo

I think it would have to be a parent/child read-along, with really frank discussions about the problematic aspects both within the stories and with the author herself, but I still think they‘re important for kids to read. Not only do they have the power to inspire a love of reading, but they‘re designed to grow with the reader.
One of my greatest regrets about never having kids is that I won‘t get to experience sharing these with my own child.

BookmarkTavern That is an excellent point about pairing reading with discussions! Thank you for sharing! 6mo

Did a buddy read with my husband of the first Harry Potter book. This was a re-read for me but it was a first for him. We had so much fun reading each chapter to each other. My husband even did the voices while reading. I highly enjoyed revisiting Harry's beginnings and remembering Peeves. 4.5 ⭐️

I‘ve been remembering with this re-read how much I‘ve always loved Neville; his quiet courage and insistence on carrying on when things get tough remind me of Samwise Gamgee, who‘s my favourite character in Lord of the Rings.
