Book title and author
The book title is 'Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone'. Sometimes it's also called
'Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone', but that does mean the same thing. It's
written by J. K. Rowling (Joanne Rowling).
Orientation and expectation
On the book cover you see the front of a fire-red train, called the Hogwarts express.
There's standing a boy with messy black hair, glasses and a huge scar in shape of a
lightening bolt on his forehead. The boy named Harry and the Hogwarts express are
on platform 9 ¾. On the upside of the cover is written the title in the colours white
and yellow.
On the backside you see professor Dumbledore bein' sassy with his Put-Outer in his
hand.
I think the book will be about a boy named Harry Potter, who is a wizard, and travels
to a magic school with the fire-red train that's standing on the book cover. I think
there'll be a dark wizard, who wants to kill Harry. There will also be a stone, the
philosopher's stone. That stone is really important, but the dark lord wants it.
I choose the book because I'm a Potterhead (a huge Harry Potter fan who knows
almost everything about the books and movies and who joins the fandom) and I've
read the book many times in Dutch, so I know the translation. I wanted to read the
book in English because it is originally written in English, and I think it is more
beautiful in its original language.
