A review by mayajoelle
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
4.0
This book is a delightful introduction to one of my very favorite fantasy worlds. I recommend books 1-3 to middle grade readers and books 1-7 to YA/adult readers.
I know some Christians are uncomfortable with the witchcraft aspect of the story; I encourage everyone to make their own choice and stick to it. I do not find it to be any more spiritually dangerous for me to read than most fantasy books, but I respect those who disagree. :)
The later books are very different in tone, so if you don't prefer the childish, whimsical aesthetic of this book, keep going.
It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
~ content: disrespect for authority, violence, magic. recommended for ages 10+ || later books significantly increase in violence and include more references to dark magic and mild sexual content ~
