Response/Rating (1-4): 4; This is a wonderful book for children. Rowling writes beautifully and engages the reader on every page. The characters are well rounded and deep. The plot is wonderfully written and easy to follow. I would recommend this book for avid readers or children that don't seem to enjoy reading. Harry grows through this book ans discovers a lot about himself.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Do you ever wish that you were a wizard?
