Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first book written by J.K. Rowling. I personally believe it is the best book because i remember all of the details precisely as she wrote and explained them. In this book the setting starts out in the Dursley's home, the only living relatives of Harry Potter. Harry although a relative, was not taken care of very well he lived in the closet under the stairs and received harsh treatment from the Dursley family. Letters begin arriving addressed to Harry Potter and fly in through every crack and crevice possible in the house. They just keep coming in more and more at a time, until finally Harry gets to open one. The letter is announcing that Harry Potter is accepted into the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This is the day that Harry finds out that he is a wizard. He then breaks out of the Dursley's house and gets help getting supplies and the items needed for the new school and home. Throughout his first year of school he learns many beginner spells and made friends with Hermoine Granger and Ronald Weasley. Soon he is informed that his parents were killed by a dark wizard, Voldomort, and that he to was under attack. Harry Potter ended up battling him in the end, defeating him the first time. However, little did he know he would soon be facing him again.
