Harry potter and the philosopher's stone

I read the book recently, a few months back. This delay is because i thought the book would be kiddish. But finally i ended up reading the book .... i must say it was wonderful. I was taken aback by JK Rowling's creativity.The description of a "magical world" is amazing.

Her idea of creating Quidditch, a seven-a-side ball game played on broomsticks, with three different kinds of balls is mind blowing.

Harry Potter, orphaned when his parents are killed by the evil wizard Voldemort, is taken in by his aunt and uncle, who are Muggles — ordinary, non-magical people. In fact, as Harry grows up he knows nothing of his magical heritage, only that the Dursleys and their son Dudley treat him poorly.But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is renowned as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he's quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt, uncle, and spoilt, pig-like cousin Dudley.

Harry and his friends search for the Philosopher's Stone which holds powers.The story moves on with his adventures in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The book is reasonably short, the story is fairly straight-forward (for now!) and once you have gotten a few chapters in you will without a doubt be already deeply absorbed and won't be able to put it down.
