Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling
4.0
The story where it all began…
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is J. K. Rowling’s first-ever novel. Originally released under the name “Joanne Rowling”, the author soon adopted the pen name “J. K. Rowling” in order to sell more books. Published in June 1997 by Bloomsbury Children’s Books, it was later bought by Scholastic Corporation who released the novel in the U.S.A. with the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
It was an instant success. Labeled as “hugely entertaining”, “richly textured”, and “all the makings of a classic”, it was the start of J. K. Rowling’s fame. The novel won numerous awards, both from the British Book Awards and American Library Association Notable Book. To this day, it remains in the top five best-selling novels of all time.
