Our first student reviewer!

This is about a boy called Harry Potter who lived with a family called the Dursleys, until one day Harry finds out that he’s not just an ordinary boy but a wizard and a pretty famous one at that. Then a man called Hagrid took him to the station were he meet Ron and his family and they got onto the Hogwarts' Express. They arrive at a magic school called Hogwarts which has one of the best headmasters in the wizarding world - Dumbledore. Harry meets some friends called Hermione and Ronald.

One day a very precious stone called the Philosopher's Stone is found by Harry and friends. They figured out that Professor Snape, who used to be a Death Eater, was trying to take it. They went down through a door and discovered Snape had not been trying to steal it after all, but Quill. He was taken over by Lord Voldemort who then tried to kill Harry.Over all I really liked reading the book and found it was really funny and enjoyable.
