Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling Illustrated by Jim Kay

 

4 Star

Harry was raised by his aunt and uncle.  Never realizing he was special or how his parents died.  When he finds out his parents were killed by a wizard and now, he is going to go to a wizard school.  He expects to learn new

The Story: What can I say about Harry Potter other than it was a good story liked by most.  It has an interesting plot that has a good flow.  There are moments that the kids in it are very stupid that make no sense but overall, it makes sense that kids would do that.  I loved seeing the relationships form between Harry and his friends and teachers.

The Illustrations:  The pictures are on almost all the pages and combines the wonderful words of Harry Potter with pictures that enhanced the story.  They took the images of the actors who played them in the movie but illustrated them with a little bit of a twist.  One of my favorites is on page 55 where Harry is being taken across the water to school for the first time.  It has Harry and Hagrid in a boat and there are water drops and birds and you can see the strokes of the water on the page.  I really enjoy this adaption of the book.  I think the only version I liked more was the audio book narrated by Jim Dale.
