So, as a blind person, I’ve got both narrations of the Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone Book Pages so why spend money on the Kindle copies? Well, I think the answer to that is that I just love returning to join Harry and his friends in the wizarding world and with having access to Kindle through Alexa I felt I might as well go right ahead and purchase them on Kindle.
I just love this book right from the start and even though it isn’t as exciting and the edge of your seat as the other books are, yet there is that excitement you feel along with Harry in Chapter 4 when Hagrid turns up in the shack during the storm to give him the good news and I don’t think any Harry Potter fan could ever fail to feel the excitement along with Harry as he and Hagrid go to Diagon Alley and he buys his books and other material he’ll need for his time at Hogwarts. I love it when his vault at Gringotts is opened and he sees all the money his parents have left him. I love the background we get to the Dursleys in the first chapter and the description of the day which eventually leads to his arrival at Privet Drive. As we read this book, we need to be aware of how little Harry knows and we get an idea of how he’s feeling as he awaits his sorting on his arrival at the school. As the Dursleys fight a losing battle when the letters start coming (and increasing with each delivery, ending with about a hundred at the hotel, you just know that, even though they’re eventually in a place where Uncle Vernon’s certain they won’t be disturbed, that by hook or by crook Dumbledore will eventually get him to Hogwarts. As he tells Mrs. Cole in Book 6, they’ll be taking Tom Riddle away whatever. So Harry begins this roller coaster adventure throughout the seven books and he will not only need his friends but all the magical training he can get, especially in Defence against the dark arts which will be important as he must face the wizard who has not only attempted to kill him but has eluded capture by the Ministry of Magic.
