This tells the story of the kid with a scar shaped like a lightning bolt.
Harry Potter — a young lad who never really knew how significant and powerful he is; a kid who was told to be a wizard; a boy who faced intense situations as early as the age of 11.
He was not the same as kids his age; Harry was peculiar and far from ordinary because he was cursed. He was struck with the Killing Curse as an infant; however, this did not limit him and instead made Harry stronger.
The young boy experienced hardships while being raised under his aunt and uncle’s roof when he suddenly received mail for admission to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As he entered a new environment, everything felt surreal; he was unaware of how to act in such a school. Hogwarts had four sections or houses called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.
Harry found himself in the chamber of Gryffindor, where he met Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. These were the same people who would be with him as he discovered the Philosopher’s Stone, a ruby-red stone that could create the Elixir of Life. Harry will have to face Voldemort again.
Overall the piece circulated on love, sacrifice, power, and bravery. It was an eye-opener for how the youth can have the courage to face problems, be intelligent enough to face difficulty, stand on decisions they make, and not quit. This book can teach the youth that making rational, difficult decisions and being independent at such a young age could cause you if you become too reckless.
Love is the ultimate plot-maker in this story as it shows how relevant it is in all people’s lives. The twists and turns encountered by Harry Potter are enough to make this story worth reading, not only for young children but for teenagers and adults, as well.
