The Philosopher's Stone

Summary
Harry, Ron, and Hermioine decide that to save the stone from snape they have to reach it first, so the adventure into the third floor and into the room where the trials begin. At first, they find Fluffy (the three-headed dog that Hagrid found to guard the stone), which Harry puts to sleep by pplaying a flute, allowing the three og them to go on. They jump through a hole and land onto a weird plant that professor sprout placed there in order to protect the stone, but Hermione burns it with a spell and the three of them move forward. They reach a room where thousands of keys with wings are flying around, and one of them opens the door to the next stage. Harry manages to capture with his Quidditch  skills (the most famous sport on the wizarding world, it is played on flying brooms) and they walk onto the next room. In here they find an enormous Chess game, on which they have to climb on top of the pieces and play as if they were those pieces. Ron sacrifices himself by letting the other team take down his king (and brutally hit him), and Hermione and Harry are able to walk into the next room. Here is a logical problem that involves potions that Hermione quickly solves, letting Harry continue while she return to help the injured Ron. Harry now finds himself face to face with...
Professor Quirrel...? Yeah, HE was the one who tried to steal the Stone, to revive Voldemort!!! (Who was cassually hidding on his turban). Harry finds the stone before Quirrel, and somehow he is able to burn Quirrel just by touching him. However Harry looses his conciousness after the struggle and wakes up with dumbledore by his side, who explains that Harry was protected by his mothers love and therefore, he was protected. School finishes and now everyone has to return home, and prepare for the next year.

Quotes

"'There is no good and evil, there is only power, and does to weak to seek it'". p 291

This quote made me see how this book is not so far from reality. Voldemort is able to corrupt wizards really easily, Quirrell was good at first but he became evil because of him. In history there are many dictators and people who are able to do this as well, alter people idealisms and thoughts by just the use of words; this quote is really terrifying if you think about it.

"'Always use the proper name for things. Fear of the name increases fear of the thing itself'".

 p 298

This quote made admire Professor Dumbledore even more. Harry isn't afraid of saying Voldemorts name because he grew on the world of Muggles, he was sheltered from all the chaos and fear that Voldemort left after his reign ended. But we can see how the weasleys and other wizards are afraid of him, they call him "You know who" or "The Dark Lord" because they are affected. However, Dumbledore isnt afraid, he knows Voldemort is just as human as he is, so he doesn't call him by other names, acting as if he was kind of a superior power or God, he is not scared.

Final Thoughts

After reading this book I will definitively keep on reading te saga. It did not only entertain me but it also has a lot of wise quotes. I find it really interesting how it uses real world problems that had a major impact on our society and turns them into fiction that even young kids can understand and enjoy while reading. I personally enjoy books of fiction and magic, so I really like reading this; I would highly recommend it for everybody, it doesnt even has an specific audience.
