I have always loved the Harry Potter book series. It is not only full of magic, adventure, joy, creativity, and Voldemort, it is a timeless classic that everyone knows the story too. When I heard that they were creating a picture book version to it, I was blown away and had to get my hands on it. The book has the same plot and words as the original, except now add color and art to the long list of traits I mentioned in the beginning. In case you don't know the plot to the book this is a simple breakdown of what happens; Harry Potter is not a normal boy whose parents died when he was a baby. He has weird talents that are unexplained like how he has a lightning scar, can talk to snakes and can make random things happen just by thinking about it. He lives with his awful Aunt, Uncle, and cousin who gives him the Cinderella treatment and always are rude to him. For heaven's sake, they made him sleep under the stairs. One day, Harry Potter gets a letter addressed to him with his exact location(under the stairs and everything), but the Dursleys won't let him open it after they see a red crest seal on it. They toss it into the garbage. As the days pass hundreds of letters are being sent and owls are appearing at his door, but still, the Uncle is taking all of them and not allowing Harry to see any of them. To avoid any more letters reaching them, Uncle Dursley decides to send all of them to a shabby house on a small island in the middle of the sea. This day happens to be Harry's 11th birthday. All of a sudden, a giant knock hits the door and they all startle themselves awake. It turns out to be a giant named Hagrid who explains to Harry that he is a wizard and has been accepted into the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After that, he leaves his family, goes school supply shopping with Hagrid, and takes a train to the school. When he gets there he meets a lot of new people and makes best friends with Hermione Granger and Ron Weasely who are in the same house as himself. He also learns what truly happened to his parents and it turns out to be a villain named Voldemort. He killed them and tried to kill Harry too, but his mother sacrificed herself instead and made a bond that destroyed Voldemort. After that day, Harry Potter gained the title of The Boy who Lived. People think that Voldemort is still out there resting so he can come back for revenge. And like all foreshadowing is, the fact turns out to be true. But we don't know that yet. They start hearing noises coming from around the top floor of the school so Harry and the gang go there to check it out. They see a giant 3 headed dog whose name is Fluffy. After this day, they have Hermione do some research and figure out that the dog is guarding a magical stone called the Sorceror's Stone which can give someone youth and that the owner of the dog is Hagrid. Their only lead is the suspicious Potions teacher, Severus Snape who somehow is always seen at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing. During this time, they got more information, saved Hermione from a troll, and met a few ghosts. Back to the present. Now that they had figured out that the owner of the dog was Hagrid, they all go to HAgrid's hut and trick him into giving them valuable information. Then they venture back into the attic with Fluffy and play soft music that makes him fall asleep for as long as they need to get past him. Then they go through the little latch underneath Fluffy and find a mysterious room in which there are puzzles they have to solve in order to get to the stone before Voldemort does. They solve a key riddle, plays chess with themselves being hit if they fail, and finally come into the room in which they find the stone. In the room, Harry Potter comes face to face with Mr. Qiurell the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who is actually a reincarnated version of Voldemort. So he and Voldemort have an epic face-off . . . .

I am a fifth grader. This book is not that great in my opinion. I'm more of a horror and mystery person myself, but if you take interest in a sad story that ends in happiness then I guess it would be good. Also the art is pretty good and the story line is ok. In conclusion, this book is not that great and the only reason I rate it a two is, because of the art.

This book is so amazing! Readers can experience the miracles of God on Noah's Ark from the authors perspective. I absolutely adore the characters! In many ways they face the same challenges we face today. They set an example of how we should handle different situations the way God wants us to handle things. I recommend this book to people who are interested in the biblical times, and animal lovers.

I absolutely love this book. J.M. Barrie is a masterfully clever writer. I read this book years ago, and re-read it every year. It is a beautiful tale, beautifully told.

This book is really nice for young girls looking for a good book. This story, like any other story, starts with two different girls. Bean is a fun-loving girl who is friends with everyone and has a bit of an icy attitude towards her mean, older sister named Nancy. Ivy is a quiet-type girl who imagination takes her on the journey of becoming a witch. Both girls' moms wanted their own girl to play with the other girl. They finally meet once Nancy is about to get Bean in trouble and Bean flees to the retreat of Ivy's backyard with Ivy's help. Bean learns of Ivy's "spell" that can make someone dance forever, and Ivy learns of Bean's mean sister. Once their interest in casting a spell on Nancy that makes her dance forever is created, Bean helps Ivy look like a better witch. Then, they cross into different yards to get worms from Bean's yard so Ivy can create her potion. Once they get to Bean's yard, they get the worms, and start to leave. But once they hear Nancy sobbing, they think Nancy is crying about Bean disappearing. A little afterwards, they learn she's crying because she can't get pierced ears. Bean gets mad and screams at Nancy. In short, a series of escalating mishaps fall onto Nancy, and Ivy+Bean become best friends. Their adventures continue in this short-paged series.

The second part of the story explains how Runt's ex-enemy Max spilled the beans about a bully named Pebble, Who lives with a wealthy family of miners. He said that they were planning a cave-in during the next planned mining test to hurt Runt as they thought that if Runt became a warrior, he would endanger the village! Runt now has very little time to save himself from a nasty cave-in, or he might not make it to the end.

The third book. Out of all the rest that I have read, THIS ONE explains the most. With Runt figuring out the shroud that has been stalking him, Breeze, he then finds himself standing with the rest of the village, at the fountain. Herobrine himself, the god who has been pushing and leading the mobs forward, was going to finish the village off! "No matter how many mobs I send, you just WON'T DIE!" They all now know that Herobrine MUST be stopped. If he ruled the world, it would make the nether look like a plains biome! Will they do it? Well, I have never read the rest besides the fourth one.

I can't wait to read it! I have been a huge fan of the series since 1st grade and I would love to have it as soon as I can! I really hope Lola comes back as she has been my favorite character so far. She is extremely happy and a good team member in Team Runt!

the reason i read it is because i love minecraft and if you like minecraft, then you will like diary of an 8-bit warrior. the authors name is Andrew mcmeel. the main character is runt he is a villager and wants to be a warrior. it says that on the title and if you want to know if he becomes a warrior then read book three. one reason i like this book is because it is adventurous and if you like adventures then you will like diary of an 8-bit warrior book three . fans of minecraft would love this book.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! SO I THINK I’LL LIKE THIS BOOK!!!
