The Boy Who Lived

Summary
Harry Potter, a boy that has been "unique" during his entire life, lives with his uncle's family, the Dursleys, on Privet Drive. He has been told, for as long as he could remember, that his parents died on a car accident. Therefore, he had to live with his uncle (Vernon), his aunt (Petunia), and his cousin (Dudley), which none of them liked his at all. They treated him as if he was worth nothing, he even lived on under the stair case on a small room. However, that's not all. He always seemes to be involved when something weird happens, when something magical happens. One day, on his eleventh birthday, something very unussual took place. He received a letter, not his uncle, not his aunt, HE received a letter. But as soon as he had the chance to grab it, his uncle snatched it away and refused to reveal its content. However, letters just kept coming every single day, until the point were they had to flee into a building right in the middle of nothing. That same night Harry heard loud thumpings outside, which turned out to be Hagrid, the half Giant, who came to tell him the truth: he was a wizard..

Quotes
"He'll be famous - a legend - I wouldnt be surprised if today was known as harry potter day in the future - there will be books about Harry - every child in the world will know his name!" p.15

What really shocks me from this quote is that it actually became true, except this was really in our world and not on his. Almost everyone knows who Harry Potter is, he is indeed practically a legend. It surprises me how this turned out to be such a big coincidence

"Hagrid looked at Harry with warmth and respect blazing in his eyes..."

This quote is really queer for me because even though Hagrid has never even met Harry (excusing that one time he took him for first time to Privet Drive to hand him to Dumbledore), he does not only aprecciates him but admires him. I am also astonished because Hagrid seems to be really humble according to his description, but he seems completely loyal to Harry.

Final Thoughts
At first, before reading this book I had my doubts about beggining this saga. Now, I really feel like I am part of the book and I cant stop reading, it is interesting. This is absolutely one of the most of the interesting books I have read, but it is a little bit complex too. However, after watching the movies I definitively needed to read the books, it was really just essential. If you feel the same way I do, dont forget to keep reading, here on An Adventure On Every Page.
