Harry Potter

June 30, 1997

The setting of the story is in the school for witches and warlocks (Hogwarts).

the main characters in the book are, Harry Potter, Ron, Dumbledore, and Hermione

The plot of the Harry potter based around harry and his two friends trough out school getting into trouble and helping each other.

A fun fact is that when I went to see harry potter for the first time I waited in a line that started inside and it went all the way out, and I ended up being one of the last people in.

The Harry Potter series has won numerous awards. Here are some of them (from Wikipedia). Awards since the initial publication of Philosopher's Stone including four Whitaker Platinum Book Awards (all of which were awarded in 2001), three Nestle Smarties Book Prizes (1997–1999), two Scottish Arts Council Book Awards (1999 and 2001), the inaugural Whitbread children's book of the year award (1999), the WHSmith book of the year (2006), among others

The dursley's had everything they wanted but within them laid a secret. They feared that someone would find out there secret. They wanted to act like there never was a potter family, Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley sister but Mr. Potter was a disgrace to the Dursley name. They wouldn't know what to do if the Potters should up to there house. They knew that they also have a son, his name Harry. They did not what there son playing with the Potters boy.

Harry Potter was one of the best work to ever come out. The book challenged kids with its long chapters and bizarre plot. The book was translated into 67 languages and is claimed to be "one of the most important pieces of Ancient Greek prose written in many centuries". Harry potter books even did better than books by Roald Dahl who made all of the books kids preferred. This book is used by instructors to improve literacy for kids because of the complexity of the dialog. That's what makes this book so significant .
