Harry Potter is not special. Rather, he is scrawny, always being bullied by the Dursleys, and always forgotten. Until on his eleventh birthday, a mysterious giant changes his life and sweeps him into a life full of magic, mystery, and danger.

I absolutely love the Harry Potter series. I first began reading around eight years ago and I have loved it ever since. Like any typical book lover, I do think the book is better than the movie. There are these extra details that the movies left out that are quite enjoyable.

The first third of the book is just building up the universe. They don't actually explore anything magical until the second third of the book, but that's understandable since it is the first book in a series. There wasn't as much action as I believed, but I enjoyed the book nonetheless.

Harry Potter is such a classic, enjoyable book. It truly is great for all ages and it really does deserve the love it gets. I may be biased, but the world is so amazing and anybody would love to be transported there.

I personally didn't see any major plotholes in this specific book, but I can see how some things are perfect.

For example, why was the door on the third floor only locked and not protected by any magic to prevent students from using "alohamora"? Or, why was the detention set in the Forbidden Forrest? (Yes, they were escorted by Hagrid, but then they immediately split up, leaving 2 students with a dog.)

Other than minor things, I think the book was pretty great, one of my favorites.
