Whats everybody saying?

• Rowling's first novel, which has won numerous
  prizes in England, is a brilliantly imagined and
  beautifully written fantasy that incorporates
  elements of traditional British school stories
  without once violating the magical underpinnings
  of the plot. In fact, Rowling's wonderful ability
  to put a fantastic spin on sports, student
  rivalry, and eccentric faculty contributes to the
  humor, charm, and, well, delight of her utterly
  captivating story. ((Reviewed September 15,
  1998)) -- Michael Cart

• Harry himself is the perfect confused and
  unassuming hero, whom trouble follows like a
  wizard's familiar. After reading this entrancing
  fantasy, readers will be convinced that they,
  too, could take the train to Hogwarts School, if
  only they could find Platform Nine and Three
  Quarters at the King's Cross Station.-Eva
  Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library
