This story follows an orphan named Harry Potter, who on the night of his 11th birthday gets a surprise visit from a man he has never seen before. The news the strange man has to tell him will change his life forever. Join Harry on his exciting new adventure into a world of magic, filled with new friendships and challenges.
I grew up in a home that loved Harry Potter, so this book is near and dear to my heart. It is a wonderful story that teaches about the importance of friendship and believing in yourself. I think that it would be great to use in middle school grades to spark discussion on friendship and what it should look like to be a true friend.
Jim Kay does an amazing job of bringing the world of magic to life in the illustrated version of the book. He beautifully depicts the scenes that so many people imagined in their minds while reading the story. The illustrations are full of color and truly bring the words written on the pages to life.
