    Harry Potter's parents died when he was a baby. He was raised by his aunt and uncle, who hated his parents, hate him, and tell him nothing about his family history. On his 11th birthday, he discovers that he is a wizard and has been invited to attend Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

    I really enjoyed my first reread of this first Harry Potter book. I've been interested in rereading the series for a long time, to remind myself of details left out of the movies. There was much more focus on Harry's life with his aunt and uncle, and it was fun starting over, as Harry meets the teachers and students at Hogwarts, and makes friends with Hermione and Ron. I had forgotten what an annoying goody-two-shoes Hermione had been! Once again, I really enjoyed it!
