Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
by J K Rowling

If you haven't read the books, seen the movies, or listened to the cds, what are you waiting for? Harry's adventures as a young wizard at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are absolutely fantastic! Even if you have seen the movies, you should still read the books. There are many things in the books that they don't have time to include in the movies... 
 

 

 

 

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

No time to sit down and read? Are you stuck in the car a lot? Try Harry Potter on CD! Richer than the movie, and almost as good as reading the book itself. Most public libraries now offer books on tape and cd!
