Title: Why We Like Harry
Review: I just finished rereading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I must have first read it when I was the same age as Harry in this book, and while I didn't love it then, I find it charming now. I've read the books as they have grown increasingly darker, and it is refreshing to return to when Harry was an eager young wizard, not an angry teenager.The world of Hogwarts comes to life vividly, with all the fantastic creatures and people Harry meets. The story is simple, but original. I don't think the Harry Potter books are classics, but they are entertaining. And really, what more are we looking for in a book like this?These books are popular, I know, but don't expect to be bowled over by glorious, poetic prose. The writing in this book is solid, but not brilliant, and sometimes even clunky.Read, and be entertained.
