Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Harry lived with his fat, rude uncle, bony, nosy, bossy aunt, and fat, rude, violent cousin. He is ridiculed at school, beat up by his cousin, and his gang, and has to live in a broom cupboard, under the stairs. And strange, unexplicable things happen to him, like, while running away from his cousin, and his gang, he takes a running leap, aiming for behind the garbage can, he suddenly finds himself on the roof. And when his aunt, tired of having Harry go to the haircutter's looking as if he'd never had a hair cut in his life, took the kitchen scissors, and cut of so much of his hair that he was nearly bald. The next day, Harry's hair was back! And then there was the scar. His aunt & uncle always said he had got it in the car crash that had killed his parent, but it was shaped, most curiously, like a lightning bolt. One day a letter arrives for Harry in the mail. His uncle takes it and burns it before Harry can read it, but the letters just keep coming, until his uncle, fed up with all the letters, takes the family to a small island in the middle of a storm. There, they get a visitor, a large visitor, a giant named Hagrid. Hagrid tells Harry that he is a wizard, and a evil, dark wizard, named Voldemort  had killed his parent, and tried to kill him too, but somehow, Harry had survived, and not only survived, he had broken something inside that dark wizard, and was now famous in the wizarding world. He goes with Hagrid to buy schoolbooks, and a wand, because the letters had been telling him that he had been invited to Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft, and wizardry. At Hogwarts he makes friends with an extremely smart girl, named Hermione, and a boy named Ron...

  2. Whoops... Sorry, a couple of typos... But here's what it's supposed to be.... :S

    Hello Sarah!!!

    First off... INGENIOUS IDEA!!!!!!!! For all of us OBSESSED Harry Potter FANS!!! (Like me... :)... )
    Anyhew... My favorite part in the book was probably when Harry, Ron and Hermione went down into the "chamber" (more like a bunch of hidden rooms under the door guarded by Fluffy!), where they had to take on a couple of challenges...(Like the devil's snare, the wizard's chess and so on.) But I really liked the one where Hermione had to do the "science experiments" with all the potions. In the movie, I not only loved that whole part, but when Harry received all the letters, and they all BURST out of the chimney, and started flying all around the room!!!!! :) (Not literally "flying"... but floating rather!) And I loved when they all kept persisting to come out, until Harry caught one, and even after Harry caught one!!! :) That part was soooo magical! But my all time favorite part was when all the owls came to Privet Drive!!! (Knowing me!!! :)...) And as for the part I didn't like in the book... nothing, but in the movie, I didn't like how they took a bunch of cool little details out!!! :( But, to reiterate, very, very, very, very, very... etc. GOOD IDEA!!! :)

    P.s. Just to put it out there........ 2 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Technically 1 and a half... But... 2 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Nice post Sarah... very well done!!! :)
