Yesterday I read the book “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” written by J. K. Rowling. At first, the book was hard to read but as I kept reading, it became easier and more interesting. The book has seventeen chapters. The first chapter is called “The Boy Who Lived.” The book begins by introducing two families: the Dursleys and the Potters. The Dursley family has three people: Vernon, Petunia and their son Dudley. The Dursleys lived happily at Number Four Privet Drive and Mr. Dursley worked at drilling firm.

He didn’t notice at first, but when he was coming back, he heard the same people whispering about the Potters and their son, Harry and he became very nervous.

That made him more nervous and eventually he asked Petunia about the name of the Potters’ son name. She became upset at the mention of the Potters but replied that they had a son named Harry.
