Harry Potter: Book 1: The Sorcerer's Stone

              Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, by J.K. Rowling, is an amazing book that almost everyone has read.  I hardly have to say how good it is considering you most likely have read it.  The magical elements in the book let J.K. Rowling use a story structure that not many authors can use.  It also lets her make up new things along the way, like a lot of the spells and subjects.  Like Bertie and Botts every flavored beans, this book has everything in it.
            Harry Potter, the main character, is like Percy Jackson from The Lightning Thief. They both have many things that help them in similar ways, they both lived with people that hated them, and they both went through the Hero's Journey.  I recommend this book to everyone, and I mean everyone.  It is such an amazing book that I don't know what else to say.  Well, there are seven books in the series, The Sorcerer's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix, The Half-Blood Prince, and The Deathly Hallows.  They are all amazing books.  At the time this was written, I am in the middle of The Goblet of Fire.
