Harry Potter (Book 1) Rating

The book I read was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. Being an enormous Harry Potter fan, of course I'm going to have to give the book five out of five stars. I gave Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone my 100% approval rating because the book (and the series) has everything a fantasy lover wants in a story. Some things in the book, if you don't already know, is that there is action, dragons, magic, dueling and child neglect. If that's not what you're looking for in a fantasy book, then you'll have to look somewhere else. I'mma let you finish, but sorry to all you Twilight fans out there, in my expert opinion is that Harry Potter is probably the best fantasy series of all time.(It's a Kanye West joke. Anyone?!) I know you may be thinking, “There is child neglect in Harry Potter?” Yes, yes there is. The Dursleys -which are his aunt, uncle and cousin he has lived with since his parents were murdered by He-who-must-not-be-named- ignore him and abuse him in various ways. That conflict between them does generate some laughs when Harry unintentionally uses his then undiscovered magical powers as he reacts to their actions. This was also rating so highly by me because it is so entertaining. As I this Harry Potter book again I have now finally realized how it was in no way surprising that the books have been made and still are being made into movies.

Note to teacher:
I know “I'mma” is not a word, Mrs. Clear :)
