what feelings you had whilst reading it
if you have read other books by the same author
and explain how it influenced you, if at all.
• Title? When? Popular?
• Plot = story
• What is special? Stunning, fascinating tale
• Creative + good for kids to read
• In the future: I would like to read it in English.
Let me tell you about a book that has now become a classic. A few years ago, I read the first
fantasy novel of the Harry Potter series and it was stunning! It is entitled Harry Potter and the
Philosopher s Stone. It was written by 1. K. Rowling and it quickly became a bestseller. It was
published in 1997 and six other books followed. They were all adapted to the cinema and
everyone has now also seen the films.
The plot is original and extremely creative. It is the story of an ordinary boy called Harry
Potter who finds out he has inherited magical powers from his parents. He enrolls at a school of
magic and is taught how to master his powers in order to defeat the evil wizard who killed his
relatives.
Rowling describes an amazing world where anything is possible. The story is fascinating and
quite gripping. Once you start reading it, you can't stop! I love how the author gives so many
details about the magic spells and curses. My favorite part is when they race their
flying-broomsticks and use magic to have fun. They create potions; they have a magic wand; they
talk: to animals; they have invisibility cloaks and magic owls and toads. It is very well-written and
I believe that young people should read this fiction in order to work on their imagination. It is a
great chance for readers to daydream and enjoy themselves.
I tried to read it in English but it was a bit difficult. I hope someday I'll be able to understand
all the terms Rowling uses.
