This book is the first in it’s series taking you on Harry’s adventure that is his first year attending Hogwarts.

Please Note:
We suggest this book be read with a parent at the end of second grade, or read independently late third or fourth grade and up. Although your child might be able to decode, or sound out the words correctly at a younger age, we believe they will not comprehend the story completely. This series is a wonderful way to introduce young readers to the absolute magic of a great book if you can have them wait until they are old enough.
