hpandthesorcerersstone 199x300 Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone: Share the Magic Giveaway

Happy 10th anniversary to the first book in the Harry Potter series: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone!  I just can’t believe how quickly the years go by.  Has it really been ten years since the Harry Potter phenomenon began?  The excitement isn’t going away anytime soon, either.  A whole new generation of children await the magic of Hogwarts, and Quidditch, of Sorting Hats and Spells.

We’re here to help introduce the little one in your life to the first book in this remarkable series – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone – and get them started on the reading adventure of a lifetime.

For this giveaway, five (5) of our readers have a chance to win TWO paperback copies of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.  One copy for you and the other copy to give to someone and “Share the Magic”.

This giveaway will end on Friday, April 24th at 12pm midnight, central standard time and is available to entrants within the continental U.S.

    I became a Harry Potter fan when I started reading the books to my son a couple of years ago. My husband was reading to him but a few nights when he was out of town and I read to him, I realized that they were actually really good. I got hooked.

    I started reading Harry Potter when I was 12, and read the first 3 books which I borrowed from a girl in my class. Then I got the first 4 for my 13th birthday, and bought the 5th when it came out. Later I bought a few more for the special edition covers, lol.

    Denise Stephens says:

    I became a fan of Harry Potter 1 year after the first book was released and was hooked on the series ever since. I have read the books about 20 or more times each because I love the story line and being able to read one after another is great even though it was never racking waiting for the next book to come out. It’s time my nephews learn about the Harry Potter books.

    Michelle Sell says:

    Ever since the first book hit the book shelves, I have been a Harry Potter fan. My children have grown out of it, but not me. LOL! I can read the books and watch the movies over and over again! Love them.

  29. 29

    I’ve never gotten the chance to read any of the books, but I have watched the movies. I love Harry Potter because it takes me away every time I watch those movies. It sweeps me right out of real life and reality every time. It’s such a magical series. And I hear the books are even better! So I would say I started into the whole Harry Potter phenomenon whenever the movies started to come out.

    Thanks!

    I became a Harry Potter fanatic a few years after the fad had worn down among my friends, I was a junior in high school and watched the first film and immediately fell in love. I went so far as to play an online RPG for Harry Potter with people from around the globe, I think I did more “Hogwarts Homework” my senior year than I did real homework!
