Hey Guys, what’s up ?!

For the second article of this blog, I’m going to speak about a book more well-known. If you don’t know… Er… you must live in a cave or in an another galaxy…

Of course, people who knows me should guess what i’m speaking about. I mean a famous wizard… Yeah there’s no more suspens, that’s Mr Potter ! However, which one ?

I decided to speak (or to write !) about the fist-one, because that’s where everything started.

« Harry Potter and the Philospher’s Stone« . Of course the author is the famous J.K Rowling. It was published on June 26 1997 by Bloomsbury in London.

°°°

To sum up quickly the story, because almost everybody knows it, I can say that the three main-characters are Harry, Ron and Hermione, also known as the golden trio. Together they’ll fight against… You-know-who, the one who can’t be named, followed by the Death Eaters : Lord Voldemort (Uh I wrote his name !).

However he’s dead, for the moment. We also know that he tried to kill Harry when he was a baby. No one knows why, but Voldemort failed, and Harry survived and just get a lightning shape scar.

So during the first book, Harry discovers his Magic Powers, his new school : Hogwarts, School of Witchcarft and Wizardry whose headmaster is Albus Dumbledore. In this school, there are different houses : Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. You just have to put the sorting Hat on your head, it will read in your mind, and it will know in which house you have to go, but it’s said that you can choose : as Dumbledore said « It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.« 

The hero will also discover the class, like Potion-class, Spells-class… And so many others !

He also met his friends and ennemis (like Draco Malfoy) and he’ll try to save our world from Voldemort, because he’s the chosen-one.

I wanted to speak about Harry Potter, because it’s a really important book to me. It gaves me my biggest dream : write a book.

The story amazed me the first time I read it. We have so many details, and a lot of places, therefore you can easily imagine the world in your head. What’s also great is that the story is not boring and sometimes it’s funny.

To my mind, the story is really well developpt, there are some critics of our society, you know, for exemple with « us » the Muggles, we’re inferior to wizards.

There is a kind of discrimination lead by Voldemort against us because we haven’t magical powers.

I even share the point of view of some people who say that Voldemort is like Adolf Hitler. At the end when there is the great magical war, it refers to World War II. And it’s also showed by the discrimination (and also the facts that the Bad Guys kill a lot of Muggles) and the fact that Voldy (his funny nickname among the Potterheads ? fans) wants to dominate everyone, to be like a dictator. As opposed to Harry and the others who can be seen as the Allies.

So I think that it’s already good but you when I’m writing, it’s so hard to stop me because I’m really fond of it. Even in english if I made a lot of mistakes, I find that it is funny and I like it, tha’ts all.

Okay so, if you have never tried these Books, you should (no, you HAVE to !) try because it’s worth it ! If you want to have fun, to escape the daily routine, to imagine something unbelievable, read it ! And you won’t regret it !

See you next time friends ! 😀
