****I was lucking enough to score a British Version (the americanized version is called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone") from our good friends Nate and Lindsey who are currently too busy playing with their cuter-than-words puppy to miss it much. But on with the book review... I was typically captivated by the charming prose and lovable characters. The pages drip with colorful and lively imagery, a real sweet treat. But there is definitely the sense Rowling is trying to dig deeper with the seemingly cosmic battle of evil and good, all resting on a 10 year old boy's shoulders, witch though he may be. I was not as disturbed as other Christians by the portrayal of "Magic" as both good and evil. Maybe I've been conditioned by C.S. Lewis' Narnia a bit too much. Overall a delightful read.
