I would rate Harry Potter a 9.5 out of 10. Yes, listening the to this story motivates me to read the second book. I've actually read this book before and I feel that it just gets better every time. I like the character Ron because he's both brave and a coward at the same time, and I find him very funny and cool. I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to reading the next few books in the series with myself.

I'm sure that I would be in Slytherin because I feel that I would meet the criteria of being one.

I would rate this book a 10/10! I loved it! Listening to this story really motivates me into reading the rest of the series, it feels like a voice in my head is saying, "I HAVE TO READ THE REST OF THE SERIES!" And actually, I am currently reading the second book, and of course it is really good. As favourite characters, I would have to say that I have a tie between Professor Albus Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, because Albus Dumbledore just has such a likeable nature, he's kind of peculiar but full of wisdom at the same time. Meanwhile, Professor McGonagall seems like she's in favour of Harry and in one scenario she misunderstands Harry and thinks he did something unimaginable great when the truth is, he sort of didn't. I just love them both. Of course, all the characters were awesome! I would probably be in the Hufflepuff house, because I searched it up and the traits there are hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fairness (as in playing fair). Those traits seem to be the most important for me and suit me rather than intelligence, bravery, and a cunning nature, which are the qualities of the other houses. Okay, bye!

I would rate Harry Potter 11/10. It was an amazing book and very creative. Yes I think I am going to read the next book in the series. I am so excited to read it. I think I like Ron he most because he is funny but a bit insecure with his families' money problems. I think I would like to be in the Grifendor house because that is where all the good wizards go and that would be awesome if I was seen as a good wizard and even if I can't get there I do not want to be in Slitherine. Bye!

I rate the book 10/10 not because I fell in love with the book but because it was so enjoyable to listen to. I would absolutely love to read the whole series and I want to get the new book that just came out! My favourite character would have to be Hermoine because her personality is amazing and she is pretty smart, too. I would be honoured to be in the Gryffindor house because of all the cool history of past witches and wizards. Also because most of the students in the Gryffindor house seem to be fairly easy to be friends with. Bye!

I rate the book 10/10 because every time we finish a section of the book I just want to read more! Yes after finishing the Philosopher Stone I am definitely buying the whole series now that I know everyone and I enjoy it. I love Harry Potter now because it brings you to his whole new dimension that feels magical and intense. Plus who wouldn't love Dumbledore. My favorite character would be Dumbledore but since we didn't hear much from him in the Philosopher Stone, I choose Harry Potter and Hermione because I love them both so much. Sorry Ron. I would want to be either in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw is because I love learning and I fit in with most of what the Ravenclaws do. Gryffindor because I get to be in the house with Harry Potter and Hermione! Sorry Ron.😂😂

I would rate Harry Potter 8 out of 10. Yes, listening to the story did motivate me to read the next book because it was so awesome. My favorite character would be Harry Potter because he's the main character and he's so brave but I also like Ron because he's such an amusing person. I think I would like to be in Gryffindor house because there are so many brave, nice and smart people in the Gryffindor house. Well, bye!

I would rate Harry Potter 11/10! This made me really want to read the next book. Harry is now on my list of favourite books! My favourite character is probably Haggred. I find him really funny, and he's very caring towards Harry. I would like to be in Gryffindor. All of the people seem to be really nice there. Gryffindor does seem to be the most popular house, though.

I rate this book 100/10, it is now one of my top ten favorite books, and I would definitely want to read the next books but I am not really good with big thick books but I could maybe read it over the summer break! My favorite character is of course the main character hairy because he sounds like a cool guy and is really brave. I think I would want to be in Griffindor because all the famous wizards went in Griffindor and there are brave people in it and nice people to make friends.

I would like to rate this book 9.9/10, it's because I already read that book, so it wasn't that exciting and nervous than I read it in first time. Anyway, I really like Harry Potter book that I have it in my house. I think I would like to read the next book, but I think the first book is the most popular and greatest book in the series. My favourite character is Hermione. I like how she mastered almost all the magic spells. Also, she is really kind and knows what is good to do and what's dangerous to do. I would like to be in Ravenclaw because, it shows cleverness, curioustity(inqusitive), creativity, and calm. Also, I like the sign of Ravenclaw which is an eagle, and I already have the Harry Potter book mark which has Ravenclaw written in! I love that bookmark! Anyway, this will be a good question. Which house do you like to be in?

I would rate harry potter 8 out of 10. No, it didn't really motivate me to read the other books because I'm all ready going to read them over spring break. My favorite character is probably harry. I would like to be in griffindor because it is the cool and nice house that all the nice people are in. See you all tomorrow.

I would rate Harry potter 10 out of 10, and it is now one of my top ten favorite books. yes, it totally motivated me to read the series. My Two favorite characters would have to be Hermione and Harry because Hermione masters almost everything related to school, and Harry is the main character and seems like a cool guy. I would totally want to be in griffindor because all the characters I like are in griffindor and I think it would be cool to be in griffindor.

I would rate Harry Potter 10 out of 10 because it has a mixture of almost all genres. Yes, because they are epic and because Harry Potter = awesomeness. My favourite character is Harry Potter because he is flippin Harry Potter. I would want to be in Griffindor, but I would probably be in RavenClaw or Slytherin. See you all tomorrow! :D

I would rate Harry Potter 10/10 because I love how the ends of each chapter leave you on a cliff hanger, and it makes you want to keep reading. Reading this book does motivate me to read the rest of the series, but reading a whole series of Harry Potter would take me forever, because I'm a slow reader, and the books are huge and thick! My favourite character is probably Hermione because she is really smart, and has a great personality. I would want to be in the Griffindor house because it seems like all the students get along, and I love all the witches and wizards.

I've read this book before and I would rate it 10/10 for sure. It does make me want to read the others. I started reading the second novel but never got around to finishing it. Defiantly a goal this summer. I absolutely love Ron and Hermine. They are my all time favorite. And my sisters friend when to Harry Potter land and brought her back a Ron wand! I would obviously want to be in Griffindor who wouldn't want to be.

I would rate 'Harry Potter and The Philospher's Stone' 9.5 out of 10. I don't know if I will read the next book seris, because all of the Harry Potter books are very long. I am a very slow reader, and it would probably take me for ever. See you all today.

I would rate the book 9/10 it was a pretty good book. It did motivate me to read the next book and I think I might borrow it from the library. I would get the book because it really had a exciting story and it was not a boring storyline. My favourite character is Harry Potter. He is the best character out of all of them. I would want to be in Griffindor because that is were most of the best wizards learn to do magic. See you all tomorrow.

I rate the book 8.3 Out of 10. It kinda did motivate me to read the next book, because it was really cool. My favourite character is professor dumbledore for some odd reason. I would maybe want to go in Ravenclaw or griffindor, Because both of the houses are pretty neat in my perspective. See you all tomorrow.
