Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stones Judged by this first volume, the Harry Potter books are a fine addition to English children's fantasy literature. Harry Potter, orphaned when his parents are killed by the evil wizard Voldemort, is taken in by his aunt and uncle, who are Muggles-ordinary, non-magical people. Harry is rather out of place there, but things improve greatly for him when goes to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry-except that one of the staff is in league with Voldemort. Part of the attention of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone comes from the familiar but at the same time exotic setting of an English public school, complete with houses and schoolboy adventures, in which Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione struggle to save the world and win the house cup. So Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will be a great Christmas present for kids who haven't read it yet-and it is a book that adults (at least those without stunted imaginations) can read as well.
