Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That's because he's being raised by his miserable muggle aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he's 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.
J.K. Rowling was a struggling single mother when she wrote the beginnings of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on scraps of paper at a local cafe. But her efforts were soon rewarded with an award from the Scottish Arts Council enabling her to finish the novel. She has since won numerous awards including the ABBY Award (American Booksellers Award) 1999.
This was perfect to have on our vacation not only did the kids enjoy it so did we
Best prices I could find on these audio books, helped my reluctant reader to learn to love books.
I liked the form factor of an audiobook for this series so much that I bought this for my niece and my dad. They both are active people that would not sit still to read even one of the books. I am one of those folks myself. But I listened to this on my mp3 player while I mowed the lawn, took a walk, etc. And it was great "reading"!
I ordered the first of the Harry Potter's books on tape for my 30 year-old daughter for Christmas - she was thrilled with the gift and loves listening to it on her long drive to work. I'll be ordering the other Harry Potter's books for her birthday. You are never too old to enjoy Harry Potter. Also, I couldn't be happier with Overstock and their product and how quickly they delivered!
This is the first book of a great series about the adventures of Harry Potter. I highly recommend it. The CD was in perfect shape and was just as described by the seller. I highly recommend this alternative to reading a book.When you are in your car for long periods, It makes the time just fly by!!
