Review a book - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

After watching the movie of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, I read this book after I came to New Zealand. There is a completely different feeling between the movie and the book about Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, although the storyline in the film has been closely followed in the book.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' is the first book in the magical 7-book series, which introducing a young boy, Harry. He has been brought up for the past 10 years by his aunt and uncle, who have been keeping Harry's secret very well hidden from him. When he reaches his 11th birthday he finds out that his is a wizard and is invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There is one of the most engrossing and enjoyable stories ever written at the beginning.
The first book is obviously a great place to start for Rowling, but the book is reasonably short. To considering reading the Harry Potter books for the first time, my suggestion would be this - forget about the real world and enjoy seven of the best books ever written, which can be enjoyed by children and adults.
