For The Baccha party out there...Harry Potter is here!!!!
The Socerer's stone
Adults seem to have lost their ability to imagine. Reading fiction should be a way to regain a bit of imagination and the childlike aura of giddy expectation, but not many authors have successfully created books that children and adults can enjoy.
The world of fiction changed when J. K. Rowling released Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the first installment of the Harry Potter series. This book introduces the shy, quirky Harry Potter, whose life has not been easy. He lives with his Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley, none of whom even come close to being civil to him.
Potter's life changes when he receives a very special letter, and so he comes to attend Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. While his adventures will entertain, his self-discovery will sober readers.
What is most amazing, however, is how connected readers are to Potter and the other characters, like his wisecracking sidekick Ron or the kindhearted headmaster Professor Dumbledore. Why can an adult relate to this book that is about children? It is simple: If an adult has a memory of her childhood, then HPSS will bring it back.
Harry Potter intrigues the young for a completely different reason. Children can easily relate to other children, and even more so to those who have some adversity to overcome - for all children have problems. It may be a bully, their appearance, or even something as serious as the death of a parent, but children (and adults) can work out some of their own issues by reading this enchanting story.
The language Rowling uses does not talk down to her young audience, and so she is able to keep her adult readers. True, the vocabulary she uses may force some to pick up a dictionary, but no one has complained.
Her tone is what makes Rowling famous. Reading HPSS is like talking to a childhood friend you haven't seen for years. It is, without a doubt, the most definitive piece of children's literature since The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the second and third books, do not quite live up to HPSS in terms of its universal appeal, but are nonetheless worth reading.
This is my favorite among all the Harry Potters'....
And i loved the movie even better...,
Till next time..,
For All U Potter fans..,esp...Suman..,
Bye Bye..,
