Okay, first of all, I love this book, but there is something more important to talk about. Why in the world does everyone like Hermione?! I for one, am a Ginny fan. Hermione is so snobby, bossy, rude, a know-it-all, and just too perfect!!! She annoys me sooo much. I really do not understand why everyone likes her so much. I guess that after reading the books four times and watching the movies once, she just gets so boring to me. Like I said, I am a Ginny person. She is so underrated and overlooked cause all everyone cares about is Hermione. If you have only seen the movie, then must be like, "why do you like Ginny?" Well I'll tell you. Book Ginny is smart, cool, funny, brave, and amazing. That is why I like her. I will be coming back to this book every day if I can, so please post a response.

Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility.
All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley — a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry’s room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn’t had a birthday party in eleven years.
But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry — and anyone who reads about him — will find unforgettable.
For it’s there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that’s been waiting for him… if Harry can survive the encounter.

Heyo! I agree with cadiebug2008, ravenclaw_gal! Have you read any of the other books in the series? This is eleven-year-old Hermione! And she's just trying to get friends! Ginny's pretty cool too, but she only has like on line if any in the first book. So I'm assuming you're talking about the series. Hermione's not bossy or rude in the later books! She breaks a lot of school rules and only gives them an idea if they are all out. She is a know-it-all in the first book, but Hermione also makes mistakes.
Hi ravenclaw_gal, I understand your reasoning. It is very reasonable. I get it. Hermione is very popular. But I also have reasoning. As well as Ginny, Hermione has gone through a lot of Harry's crazy adventures, and has helped impact him greatly. She has braved a lot of things, as well as being close to Harry. I have read through the first four books, and I know what you mean by how Hermione is a know-it-all. But I really don't think she tries to be rude. She just supplies info, since Harry and Ron don't read as many books. As for Ginny, I agree; she IS a very good character. But, Ginny and Hermione are both VERY good characters. But, as I said before, Hermione is closer to Harry, so she has to brave more. I hope you take this into consideration, and also, just remember your reasoning was very good. Thanks for listening! BTW, I'm Ravenclaw too! Ravenclaw forever!
im not a harry potter fan and i know nothing whatsoever about it so i really don't know if i agree or not
this was the least well done harry potter book. the series is ok, but this book wasnt the best. my favorite charactor was harry.
This was and still is one of my favorite book series. The book series follows the adventures of Harry, Ron, and Hermione in their 7 years at Hogwarts. The main character, Harry Potter, has been shut off from the Wizarding World for 10 years. On his 11th birthday, he gets a letter telling him he is a wizard, thus beginning his first year at Hogwarts. I recommend this book to anyone. It truly is a great series and is a must-read for anyone looking for a good fantasy series.

It's about a young wizard called Harry potter. He goes to a school called Hogwarts. He has to face LORD VOLDMORT the evil one.
Everyone tells me, " oh, it looks to long and boring. Plus, I already watched the movie. So, I kinda don't have to read it." I get SO angry at this response! This is the reason I read! Before this book, I was kind of kept to my own variety of books. Then, there was Harry Potter. Now my entire horizon is expanded. Anyone who knows how to read, I suggest this book for you.( I know I only used 5 stars, but I WOULD give it a trillion million bazillian stars.)
Harry Potter is a weird case of on and off for me. I read it until I don't then I think, "I should read this" so I read it and I got to the part where the giant or something comes and I'm like, "Let's read this section so I'm left on a cliffhanger to the point where I have to read the entire book again!" Let's say I just don't exactly like this one.
I read all these in the fourth grade and fith. Stopped in 6th cuz homework. I was a slitherdor
I love this book. ❤️
I loved this book definitely 5 stars
everyone needs to read this book
