I highly recommend this book, it's MIND-BLOWING. Harry's journey from a poor orphan boy to the world of wizards is amazingly written. The emotions he felt while standing in front of 'The Mirror of Erised', when he knew he was a wizard, his first Quidditch match and may more interesting incidents are mentioned so nicely that you just can't stop reading it. J.K. Rowling has an exquisite way of detailing things, that you can almost feel them with all your senses, and you get so involved with the characters that you emotionally start relating to them. No matter what type of books you like this one won't ever disappoint you. A must read!!
