 “The Boy Who Lived”
 Worshipped by kids, enjoyed by adults, this modern
myth has become an accepted classic worldwide.
 Rowling proves that she knows a thing or two about the
kind of magic that brings stories to life.
 The book starts with Harry as an infant, the child of a
wizard and witch.
18

 He is suddenly left orphaned after an attack by the evil
and powerful wizard Voldemort, a villain so dastardly
that most wizards and witches refer to him as "You-
Know-Who".
 Mysteriously, Harry survives and Voldemort, his power
apparently broken in his attempt to kill the child,
disappears leaving many to think he's gone for good.
19

 Harry is hailed as a hero. Even though he's just a baby
his victory over Voldemort makes him an overnight
celebrity among magic users the world over.
 The Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts
school of Witchcraft and Wizardry step in to decide
Harry's future.
 They decide to take the child out of the spotlight and
allow him to live a normal life with his only remaining
relations, a Muggle family named Dursley, until he is
of age to attend the Hogwarts school.

20

 They leave Harry on the doorstep of the Dursley's
home, with no more than a letter of explanation.
 The adventure of a lifetime in addition to his studies he
makes close friends and a lifelong enemy, discovers a
talent for a very unusual sport called Quidditch and
solves a mystery that threatens the world, and his very
existence.
 Rowling blends in the essence of magic fantasy with
such skill that Harry's world literally shimmers with it.
21

 Rowling serves it all up with a deceptively simple and
straight forward writing style that sparks a response
deep in the subconscious, drawing the reader in and
holding on tight.
 The fact is, this story is not just read, it's experienced
and that's the magic right there.
22

 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is a fantastic
book, well plotted with strong characters that not only
talk and act like real kids, but are also great role models
as well. These kids do their homework, brush their
teeth, study for exams and still have time to get into
trouble in the name of a good cause. There is one
excellent and well spelled out moral in the story that
doesn't detract from the plot and if the reason why
Harry survived Voldemort's attack doesn't leave you
with a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye.
23

 Harry Potter and series of books that have captured
imaginations worldwide with good reason. Rowling
has created a loveable, likeable cast of characters
with the requisite villains the reader just loves to
hate. Harry and his friends also find themselves in
predicaments many children face: Unpleasant
adults who seem to wish them nothing but trouble;
mysterious actions of adults who do things without
explanation; and the sense of learning to use your
own abilities to succeed in life. "Take what you
have and make something of yourself" is a strong
theme throughout all of the Harry Potter books.
24

 Best book for all generation of people .
 Unity is the biggest factor in all our life.
 Light of hope in the darkness.
 Willingness and determination is the biggest strength to win
any battle.
 Darkness may prevail for long but light of truth and wisdom
tear it apart.
