Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone

            The works I read for this week are Harry Potter. Now i did not finish the book but I got enough through it to had a good opinion. Now let me start I read this book when I was a kid. So I vaguely remember this. And It was fun to revisit one of the first books. That introduced me to fantasy. For the question How were challenges and moral issues presented. Will considering this is the first book in the series . It tends to be on a lighter notes of moral issues. Beginning with telling the truth to your friends in the instance of the marauders map. Another one was the entire relationship with Snape that was completely wrong. It was introduced in the incorrect stance. Or the stance of harry himself . We were are suppose to  be convinced of Harry's point of view. And that would be extremely difficult if we knew Snape side that he was actually helping Harry. From a unspoken promise he had with his mother. Main lesson that came a lot during the book itself. Is that you should think things through and appearances can be deceiving. With the 3 headed dog Hagrid etc. All moral issues and challenges are presented in a fashion that lets the character grow and make mistakes so us as the reader can grow with him. Which is why Harry Potter is one of the most beloved fictional characters to this day. Purely because of his mistakes and misconceptions . That are understandable and relate to fundamental anyone.
