Say you've spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand, and jellybeans that come in every flavor, including strawberry, curry, grass, and sardine. Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling's enchanting, funny debut novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In the nonmagic human world--the world of "Muggles"--Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is famous as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities, and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he's quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt, uncle, and spoiled, piglike cousin Dudley.

A mysterious letter, delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, wrenches Harry from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence: "We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Of course, Uncle Vernon yells most unpleasantly, "I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!" Soon enough, however, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig... and that's where the real adventure--humorous, haunting, and suspenseful--begins. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, first published in England as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, continues to win major awards in England. So far it has won the National Book Award, the Smarties Prize, the Children's Book Award, and is short-listed for the Carnegie Medal, the U.K. version of the Newbery Medal. This magical, gripping, brilliant book--a future classic to be sure--will leave kids clamoring for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (Ages 8 to 13) --Karin Snelson

From Booklist

Gr. 4^-7. Orphaned in infancy, Harry Potter is raised by reluctant parents, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, an odious couple who would be right at home in a Roald Dahl novel. Things go from awful to hideous for Harry until, with the approach of his eleventh birthday, mysterious letters begin arriving addressed to him! His aunt and uncle manage to intercept these until a giant named Hagrid delivers one in person, and to his astonishment, Harry learns that he is a wizard and has been accepted (without even applying) as a student at Hogworts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There's even more startling news: it turns out that his parents were killed by an evil wizard so powerful that everyone is afraid to so much as utter his name, Voldemort. Somehow, though, Harry survived Voldemort's attempt to kill him, too, though it has left him with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead and enormous celebrity in the world of magic, because Voldemort vanished following his failure. But is he gone for good? What is hidden on the third floor of Hogworts Castle? And who is the Man with Two Faces? Rowling's first novel, which has won numerous prizes in England, is a brilliantly imagined and beautifully written fantasy that incorporates elements of traditional British school stories without once violating the magical underpinnings of the plot. In fact, Rowling's wonderful ability to put a fantastic spin on sports, student rivalry, and eccentric faculty contributes to the humor, charm, and, well, delight of her utterly captivating story.

Brillianz in Serie 6. Februar 2002

Von "frixmax"

Format:Audio CD

Harry Potter - das sind Romane, die mit einer Hingabe erdacht und aufgezeichnet wurden, welche man in der Literatur selten erlebt. Das Tüpfelchen setzt Stephen Fry der ganzen Sache auf. die Bücher von ihm vorgelesen sind nicht nur ein Hörgenuß und nebenbei auch eine hervorragende Englisch-Lernhilfe, sondern sie sind mit ebensolcher Hingabe vorgelesen wie sie geschrieben wurden.

Ich habe mir alle vier Teile auf Kassette besorgt und konnte teilweise nicht glauben, daß es sich nur um einen Sprecher handelt. S.F. bringt Sprach-Akzente ein, die fast schon wie Dialekte wirken, selbst weibliche Stimmen sind unverkennbar weiblich und entsprechen exakt meinen Vorstellungen über die zugrundeliegenden Charaktere.

Zugegeben, auch der Profi S.F. mußte sich in den ersten vier Kapiteln von Buch I erst einlesen! ...aber dann entfacht er ein Feuerwerk sprachlicher Brillianz, welches nahezu bespiellos und glücklicherweise in Serie gegangen ist.

Fry is the best 29. Mai 2005

Von "vaneyken2"

Format:Audio CD

This review is dedicated to all books of HP I`ve listened to so far. For this I need one sentence: FRY IS THE BEST MAN FOR THIS JOB!!!! I do not say I do not lilke Rufus Beck, the German reader. But Stephen Fry, though known as a comedian actor, does his job more seriously in a way. While I was always able to laugh at Rufus Beck`s funny interpretation of voices and characters, Fry can make me believe his kind of interpretatoin MUCH more intensive. Every single character finds a home in his voice without being teezed, you can say. Rufus Beck`s interpretation sometimes seems a bit odd and stupid while Fry`s one NEVER!!!! My wish and suggestion for the future: Fry should NEVER stop reading HP - books!!!!!!!!

Best Reader 7. M�rz 2004

Von Tobin

Format:Audio CD

There are some people out there, like my one friend, who don't care for that "gay british accent". I, however, quiet like it. I've listened to Potter-Books read by Jim Dale as well as by Rufus Beck, and eventhough I was quiet taken by both their performances, I like Fry's best. I do especially give him credit for being the only reader who doesn't give McGonogall and Hermione a hysteric touch and for leaving Dumbledore energetic, when both, Dale and Beck, make him sound like a wheezy old man. His Hagrid sounds almost exactly like Robbie Coltrane, who does a wonderful job in the movies.
Needless to say that the novel itself is one of the best I've read in the past years, as is the whole series. So if you like Audiobooks, this is one I can recommend.
