 AFTER READING
BOOK RATING:

It is a very interesting book, it has a lot of mystery and it has a meaning to catch the reader, although I have already seen
the movies many times it is not the same and better descriptions of the situations and characters are made.
PLOT:

As you already know, Harry Potter is a fairly well-known book series, so much so that he ended up producing his films (8
in total) around the world, different clubs are created in which they talk about these and little by little they are called more
to the community to participate. His story is quite intriguing and interesting, and it is very surprising to follow Harry and his
friends against the nameless and everything that must happen. This book catches my attention a lot and for this reason I
wanted to read it this time in English to improve my vocabulary and meet this story again.
PERSONAL LEARNING: 

These first chapters that I have read of this story I have been able to account for the most detailed situations in which the
characters live, what happened in Harry's family and in more detail the evil things that his uncles and his cousin told him,
also in these moments is where we realize that hope is the last thing that is lost and even more when the letter arrives that
he is a magician and he finds out everything that his parents have done in the world of magicians, and hope to get out of
that horrible home.
