    I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when I was eight years old. It immediately became one of my favorite books. Over the next several years, I read the rest of the series many times, and I watched the entire series of movies almost as many times. However, I’ve never grown tired of re-reading and re-watching the first book and movie. The book, titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone upon initial release in 1997, was re-titled later that same year as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for its US release. J.K. Rowling’s 310 page masterpiece was published by Arthur A. Levine Books, a branch of Scholastic Inc. The movie, also titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was released in 2001 by Warner Bros.…

    In the book “J.K. Rowling a Biography” Kirk claims, On June 26, 1997, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the British Title of book one, was published in hardcover by Bloomsbury. The book goes further on to say how Rowling and her team printed only 500 copies of the book which proved to be not enough as Rowling’s agent told her that the American rights to the book were being auctioned. An online biography (2017) explains the word “Philosopher” in the book’s original title was changed to “Sourcerer” for its publication in America. The biography also informs that the book was the start of a seven part series chronicling the life of the young wizard Harry Potter and his friend Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and WIzardry. In this book, Harry learns he is a wizard and becomes acquainted with the wizard world. He discovers who he is and what happened to his parents. The Encyclopedia of World Biography claims that, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone proved to be the best-selling children’s book in decades (2005). The article also quotes Rowling says “I thought I’d written something that a handful of people might like. So this has been something of a shock,” on January Online. Gale Student Resources in Context (2007) states several of Rowling’s awards, including the British Book Award, the Children’s Book of the Year, and the Nestlė Smarties Gold Award in 1997. The article goes on to say that the book also became a success in the united states earning six literacy awards. However this is just one of Rowling’s prosperous…

    Goblet Of Fire Comparison

    The novel Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is story full of adventure, action, and suspense, but only after the first 400 pages. The first part of the book is little more than an account of everyday life in a magical landscape. The story is really slow with nothing very interesting or exiting happening. On the other hand, when you finally get to the dramatic climax of the story, it is very well told. The movie is totally different. The director decided to add long fight scenes, such as the 2o minutes long battle scene with Harry fighting a dragon. Instead of drawing in the viewers as it did in its previous films, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire preferred to be a more about special effects. The novel by J. K. Rowling was very much different…
