Here is another review (unlike my others) with a simple list of book club discussion questions below.
Title- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Author- J.K. Rowling
Rating– 5/5
Plot/Blurb-
Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That’s because he’s being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he’s really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.
Quote- “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.”
Discussion Questions:
Would you ever want to be famous? How would you deal with being in Harry’s shoes as being a celebrity without knowing it?
Gryffindor looks for loyalty, chivalry and courage. Hufflepuff values friendship, hark work and patience. Ravenclaw picks students with knowledge, intelligence and wit. Slytherin has wizards that are resourceful, cunning and ambitious. Which house would you like to be Sorted into and why?
Would you break the rules and go against teachers/authorities?
What would the Mirror of Erised show you?
Would you go into the Forbidden Forest? Why or why not?
Do you have any family members like the Dursleys and how do you approach them?
Do you like chapter titles? Why or why not?
