My story on Harry Potter - Brandon Lee
Hello guys, welcome back to my blog! This week’s blog will be about a classic book called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I'm sure the majority of you guys will have read this already, but I wanted to share my story on when I first read this book. For those of you who haven't read this book yet, here is a quick summary.
This book revolves around a boy named Harry Potter. He lives with his abusive Aunt and Uncle’s family. His parents passed away shortly after his birth, which resulted in how he got into the situation he is in now. One day, he received an invitation to the magical school of Hogwarts. Although his family ignored it at first, the invitations kept coming until Harry ended up going to Hogwarts, revealing a whole new magical world to him. During his time here, he learns his new found talent for magic, and is greeted by a welcoming group of friends and mentors, which he is not used to. He quickly finds his love for this place until some conflict arrives. There are some corrupt individuals in the school who serve Voldemort, who is an evil antagonist with a motive to steal the sorcerer’s stone. Alongside his friends, Harry embarks on an adventure within the school to find this culprit and stop his plan before it is too late.
Even as an elementary schooler, I knew about this book because of its popularity. Most of the people around me were big Harry Potter fans, but I never got to read the series myself until one day in 3rd grade. My 3rd grade teacher decided to read the first Harry Potter book as a class. Every day, we would read a small portion of the book, and little by little, we finished the book in a few months. I remember that when reading the book together, my friends and I would always listen carefully to imagine all the descriptive settings. One of the reasons why I enjoyed this book is because of how easy it is to follow along and also the freedom that it gives for the reader to imagine what the scenes in the book might look like. I think this is one of the qualities that make a good writer and why I wanted to share my story on when I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Thank you for reading my blog!!!
Hey Brandon! Great blog post, and I remember reading Harry Potter when I was a small tiny itsy bitsy baby me. Super fun, and I remember reading the 5th book and thinking it was the greatest achievement of all because it was the lengthiest novel I'd encountered up to that point.
ReplyDeleteHi Brandon. I love the Sorcerer's Stone and think it has one of the best climaxes out of all the books. I think I love it more now due to my love of chess.
