Harry Potter was like any other ordinary boy who lived in a closet underneath the stairs... That is, until he received a letter inviting him to study at Hogwarts, a school for wizards and witches. When he arrives, he quickly learns that his life is entangled in a star-crossed web with the notorious evil wizard, Lord Voldemort.
This is the book that redefined middle-grade fantasy and, along with Redwall, is one of the greatest influences on my own personal writing. I cannot suggest this book enough. The characters are brilliantly crafted, the story is perfect and absorbing, and the writing moves the reader along at a great pace while still crafting a deep and life-like world.

The original covers are okay. The re-release from last year look fantastic though.
Presentation: 4
The books are well-presented, but I must say that I am overwhelmingly excited for the upcoming illustrated editions! I love illustrated books! And this book, of all possible books, deserves a fantastic illustrated version!
Epicness: 5
With one of the greatest villains of all time, and a legendary plot that is perfectly interwoven, Harry Potter is a truly epic book.
