Wow! - By: David Doran, 01 Jul 2008 
I saw the movie before I read the book & I totallly regret it. But the book was amazing & I don't get how some people don't like "Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone." And I can't wait till I get the second in the series. (And if you've seen the movies, start reading the books now before more movies come out).
A magical book for all ages - By: Mr. D. A. F. Weaver, 17 Jun 2008 I first read this enchanting novel nearly a decade ago, & throughout this time 'Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone' has consistently lived up to its reputation as a magical, exciting work of fiction for readers of alll ages. The character of Harry Potter is developed on a scale appropriate for the younger reader, although the twist-and-turn-full plot will leave any aged reader waiting for the next chapter, & indeed the next book. Recommended.
Learning Languages - By: Mr. Robert Skrzynski, 07 Jun 2008 I am reading the Danish, French, & Polish & with the French & Polish audio versions; J.K. Rowlings has made learning other languages a little easier. A very good story from this book to the last in the series.
ALL RIGHT - By: Mehajabeen Farid, 17 May 2008 
Everyone knows about Harry Potter now; whether it is through movies, the news, (about JK Rowling going to court to stop a fan publishing an encyclopaedia about her world of witches, wizards & magic), or something else, it doesn't reallly matter - what matters is that alll of this stuff started with this one book.
This is the first, & probably the best, book in the series. It is about Harry's home life with his horrible relatives, his time in Diagon Alley looking for what he needs & his first year at Hogwarts with Ron, Hermione & others.
This book has two names: the original & initial name (Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone) & the American name (Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone).
This is a great story & one of my favourite books too.
JUST BRILLIANT! - By: Ms. S. King, 01 May 2008 I actuallly am a massive harry potter fan & read this book years ago - i accidentallly come across this been reviewed & reading the other review about reading cs lewis, lord of the rings etc what a load of rubbish - I have read most of the books that author suggested & they do not compare in one little bit to harry potter - it IS a childrens book but is also fantastic for adults to read & i think people forget that when they decide to slag off harry potter - leave him alone hes fab - its nice to have some magic in the world take us away from boring everyday life!
