So this first volume of Mr. Potter's adventures, a real treat!
From the beginning of the book, one discovers Uncle Vernon and his family even before Harry to join them and we suspect right away that it will not be easy ... Small bourgeois family with an only son, Quiet living in his neighborhood, Aunt Petunia has an aversion to his sister briefly nice atmosphere! It is in this climate that arrives Harry, aged just one year following the death of his parents ...
Years pass and found Harry ready to celebrate (alone and forgotten by all) his 11 years, and there, strange things are linked with Hagrid arrival who reveals that he is actually a wizard who must join (if desired, but given the life he has in Dudley, frankly person long hesitation) School Hogward specific wizards.
When integrated Hogward, Harry finds a true family, first thanks to his new friend Ron, followed some time later Hermione. I liked the fact that Snape is going after Harry and his friends to blast points to Gryffindor House as soon as the opportunity presented itself, I think it puts more forward the fact that Harry is doubts about it.
The year is happening with its surprises and twists until the big final (which would certainly be surprised if I had not already seen the film and therefore know the end) ...
