Let me tell you about a book that has now become a classic. A few years ago, I read the first fantasy novel of the Harry Potter series and it was stunning! It is entitled Harry Potter and the Philosopher s Stone. It was written by 1. K. Rowling and it quickly became a bestseller. It was published in 1997 and six other books followed. They were all adapted to the cinema and everyone has now also seen the films.
The plot is original and extremely creative. It is the story of an ordinary boy called Harry Potter who finds out he has inherited magical powers from his parents. He enrolls at a school of magic and is taught how to master his powers in order to defeat the evil wizard who killed his relatives.
Rowling describes an amazing world where anything is possible. The story is fascinating and quite gripping. Once you start reading it, you can't stop! I love how the author gives so many details about the magic spells and curses. My favorite part is when they race their flying-broomsticks and use magic to have fun. They create potions; they have a magic wand; they talk: to animals; they have invisibility cloaks and magic owls and toads. It is very well-written and I believe that young people should read this fiction in order to work on their imagination. It is a great chance for readers to daydream and enjoy themselves.
I tried to read it in English but it was a bit difficult. I hope someday I'll be able to understand all the terms Rowling uses.
