My favourite book
One of my favourite books is “Harry Potter”. It’s a fantasy story set in Hogwarts School, England.
It’s the story of a boy called Harry Potter who become an orphan very early. He goes through wonderful adventures together with
his friends. Harry is a model character who is full of courage and the determination to live and cope with all the difficulties which
are thrown at him.
The plot has a number of interesting twists and the ending of every chapter is very exciting. When Harry Potter is 11 years old, he
is admitted to Hogwarts School of magicians. At school he gets acquainted with Hermione and Ron. They become his close friends
and supporters in everything he goes. It happens so that Harry is involved in the story connected with the philosopher’s stone. Harry
starts fighting with evil. He proves to be a courageous boy. He becomes the winner in the battle with Voldemort. His achievements
prove his unusual abilities and his life mission.
I liked the book for a number of reasons. The author has created an amazing fantasy world. The story is enchanting and I found it
difficult to put down. The characters are convincing, and I identified strongly with Harry. I love all the adventures, the jokes and
magical spells in this book.
Harry Potter is a story about relationships between people, and what they mean in our lives as much as those of the characters. It’s a
story about hope. It shows that even in the face of certain death we as people can still smile, hold our heads up high, honour those
we love and stay true to the people we are.
The book teaches us to respect our teachers and elders and respect everyone.
The Harry Potter books are all different. They have the power to help kids navigate the trials of growing up. That’s why they have
thrilled, inspired, and excited me. It is a remarkable display of the power of literature.
