Chapter Book
This well known novel is about a young boy, Harry, who discovers he is a wizard. He has grown up in the typical world we live in, and discovers a whole new one when he enrolls at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He learns spells, makes friends, and even saves the school from the evil Lord Voldermort, who he finds murdered his parents when he was young. This story is one of bravery, intelligence, and the beneficial qualities of great friendships. I think this book is a great one to use as a read-aloud, a checkout book, or a classroom discussion book. I felt like this was an important book to include because it has caused such a start in children’s literature. The popularity of the series has really increased the number of students who are interested in reading, and I feel like that alone makes it worthy of an option within a classroom. The vocabulary, the plot and the character development make it developmentally appropriate for upper grades.
