Despite using potentially overdone elements (an orphan with special powers, a school for sorcerers), Rowling wove together a series that gave kids the chance to feel true wonder, some for the very first time. Ten years ago every child in the nation had read this modern-day classic. These days a whole new generation of kids is ready to meet Harry—and get sucked into his deeply engrossing world—for themselves. Scholastic. Ages 8 to 12
Book Description
Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That's because he's being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he's really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.
