An Adventure Out From The Cupboard Under The Stairs

 

    Being a famous orphan is difficult, but not for a boy named Harry Potter. Harry Potter is a young boy who is bound to attention by other witches and wizards because of a tragedy that occurred when he was an infant. Because of the large scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead, many people think of "the boy who lived" and even call him the chosen one or the cursed child. He has spent as long as he can remember living with the only family he's got left, even though he would prefer to be on his own. His aunt, uncle, and cousin look down on him because how his parents are witches and wizards, so they give him old clothes, and just enough food to keep him alive, they lock him in a small cupboard under the stairs, and have him complete about all of the work around the house. 

Until one day: Everything changed.

Harry got invited to the very school his parents had attended for his first year of school at Hogwarts, a very beautiful castle-looking building out by a lake. He gathered his supplies and met many new people on his way. Harry didn't understand why he was so popular since he never knew anything about his wizarding side and he was pretty much hidden from society back at his small home. When he arrived at school each new student got sorted into 4 different houses they will be associated with throughout their whole schooling at Hogwarts. Each of these houses has a great history to the individuals who created them. These houses include: 

Gryffindors who value bravery, loyalty, and courage

Slytherins who value ambition, resourcefulness, and cunning

Ravenclaws who value high intellect, creativity, and wit

and Hufflepuffs who value kindness, hard work, and patience

Hogwarts

Harry soon begins to learn why he is so famous in the eyes of witches and wizards and is challenged by this very thing from his first year of school up until the very end, in various ways and forms. With his friends by his side, will the mystery be solved of who stole the sorcerer's stone? What challenges are to unravel following this first fight? Time Travel? Dragons? Hypogriffs? Potions? Harry's journey through the years is quite interesting and thrilling!

 

Since I was in fourth grade, I have begun reading and watching the Harry Potter series. Although this is a series I have read multiple times already, I see something new each time and have learned a lot about morals and friendship. I highly recommend reading this series because I simply can not quit until I finish the series. I know for the eight movie films, it can take me less than a week to watch them all. The books, however, take me a bit longer. The Sorcerer's Stone is a very good introduction to the story taking place, which is why it is the first in the series.

 In Orlando, Florida, Universal Studios made a section of their park dedicated to Harry Potter and all of the parts and events that occur. Me and my family visited Universal and this new area was my favorite place to visit! There are great souvenirs, food and drinks, interactive activities, rides, and more! The views are just good and all of the realistic buildings make me feel like I am literally in the shoes of a student! This may not be a read that everyone may have an interest in, and that's okay, but for those who like fantasy, a good plot, and flying brooms, this might be a fun book to check out!
