Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone

en.wikipedia.org

When we were talking about the first book in class I described how I felt that I have to force my way through this text. Which is true, but I didn't mean that I don't like the story. I find the first book to be slow and hard to read, but I also think it is completely necessary to the rest of the series.

 It took me a while to get into the series because I started with Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. I tried numerous times to read it, but couldn't do it. I eventually stared with the fourth book, Goblet of Fire, and felt the text begin to speed up, and the situations mature a little, which made it easier for me to read. I went back and read all the books starting at the beginning, and found that I liked the first one as part of a collective story. I liked how we can see from the beginning who characters are, and their relationships with one another, which then allows readers to see how those relationships evolve.

I ended up really loving the series, and would place The Sorcerer's Stone in my top three favorite behind the Order of the Phoenix (my second favorite), and my first favorite, The Prisoner of Azkaban.
