Harry Potter’s and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first book in a series by J.K. Rowling, was published in the U.S. in 1997. The series remains very popular today.
“I liked all the twists and turns,” said Miranda Gray, a fifth grader.
Since the first book, Rowling has published six more, all about an orphaned boy who enrolls in a school of wizardry. Harry Potter, the main character, learns the truth about himself, his family and the terrible evil that haunts his magical world. The books were made into movies.
“The movie and the book were pretty much in sync,” Gray said “The movie was just breathtaking when I first watched it in kindergarten.”
According to an online encyclopedia called Britannica, the Harry Potter series is available to read in more than 200 countries around the world.
