The plot had some very interesting twists and turns and kept the reader engaged as well as setting up some foreshadowing for future books or for later in the book. I loved the red herring effect of Professor Snape and the way that he comes across as evil when in reality (spoiler alert) Professor Quirrell is the real villain who keeps Voldemort under the turban. I loved J.K.'s imagination and skill when i comes to making up new creatures or new things even taking old things in revamping them in a modern way. Overall this book is a very good read an it is nice to start this series when you are younger and to continue reading as you mature.
