“It does not do to
dwell on dreams and forget to live.”
Harry Potter is a wizard
who is delivered to the porch of his aunt and uncle’s house after his parents’
demise. His Aunt and uncle are very… Malicious would a good word, I guess.
Soon, he is enrolled in the Hogwards School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he
meets Albus Dumbledore. The headmaster of the school and the guardian of Harry.
What happen when suddenly
things start to go downhill? Harry and his friends – Ron Wesley and Hermione
Granger – have mysteries to solve and secrets to crack. Join Harry in this
magical and mystical journey as a wizard.
The first edition of the
wizarding extravaganza by Rowling, this book is irrefutably the most popular
book on the entire planet. Yes, you read it right… PLANET. For the people who
have been living in a cave for the past 15 years, this is a fantasy book which
is tremendously renowned.
The character of Harry,
since the very beginning is shown as deferential and stoical. He never
complains about the way his aunt and uncle treat him. This shows the utmost
respect he holds for family relations. He also has a very sweet personality and
it becomes really difficult not to get attached to him.
The narration of this
book was in third person. Also, I would admit that after the Fallen series,
this is the only book in which the third person narration did not matter to me.
It was not as if I wasn’t able to connect to the book. In my personal opinion,
this was because the entire narration showed only Harry’s outlook on certain
circumstances. The only thing different was that instead of using ‘I’, the
author has used ‘He’.
This first book, at a
very steady pace introduces you to the magical world at Hogwards. You slowly
start becoming accustomed to things and people appearing out of the blue. Also,
while reading the series further, you will not find it queer to find a cat transforming
into a lady (Yes! It did happen in the book.) Rowling has a very descriptive
way of familiarize you with the world of wizardry. The petty things described
with such minor details are what makes the book realistic.
In my opinion, the
biggest reason for the surreal success of the book were its characters. The
friendship of Harry, Ron and Hermione are sure to touch a few string in your
heart. Also, all the characters, the professors, the fellow wizards, Dumbledore
and the bad guys have a significantly believable personality. They are
eccentric and flawed which is what makes them real.
Because a flawless person,
is not real. He is just akin to a surreal dream.
The dynamic climax of the
book will not permit you to put the book down. The way Rowling presents her
ideas and views is phenomenal. The sentences are so magnificent that you will
love this book no matter what.
Also, many elder people
and even some teens think that it is a useless hype about Harry Potter. Guys, I
would seriously ask you guys to just read this book. I am sure that when you
are halfway through the book, you will be unwilling to put it down because you
have fallen in the trap. This book encases you within itself and make you feel
like you never wanna leave the confines of this beautiful and incredible world.
Until now, the book is a
fairly light read and does not disclose many of the dark secrets but… Guys,
beware, this series is like a drug. The more you consume, the more you desire…
And oh well, of course, my advice is:
DO
NOT MISS OUT ON THIS BOOK!
Trust me, you really are missing out a
very wonderful world which you can easily be a part of. All you have to do is:
Purchase a copy of the book, make a steaming cup of hot chocolate, lie down in
your comforter, put on your glasses and dive into this book of magic, spells,
wizards, witches, friends and… suspense…
Until the next time…
Adios Amigos…
