Over the summer, I read the first fantasy book in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer‘s Stone by J.K. Rowling. Some of the main characters include Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco Malfoy and Voldermort. Both Ron and Hermione play a crucial role in helping Harry through the difficult obstacles he faces later on in the novel. Voldermort is the evil wizard who try’s to murder Harry. When he was younger Voldermort killed his parents but was unable to kill Harry, making him famous. After receiving a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy on his 11^th birthday, Harry is soon fascinated by the wizarding world. The main plot is that Harry and his friends, Ron and Hermione, must stop the theft trying to steal the Sorcerer’s Stone, hidden inside the school. The main character deals with both external and internal conflicts throughout this book. Harry must fight Voldermort and deal with the interenal conflict of losing both his parents. Rowling also includes foil characters, Malfoy and Voldermort, which makes the good characters seem even better. One thing I like about her style is that she incorporates some humor into her books. This I think makes a good blend of action and humor. Also, Rowling uses vivid imaginary through her word choice and description which is very interesting. I would recommend this book because of how much I enjoyed reading it.
