Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

PART 1: Harry doesn't think anybody will ever like him, especially his aunt and uncle, until the day Hagrid arrives and tells him that he's a wizard. Harry starts a fabulous quest to reach his full potential at Hogwarts and meets new friends, Ron and Hermoine. The three of them face many challenges together. Harry also meets Draco Malfoy, one of his new enemies. Harry may be famous, but can he pass the challenges of Hogwarts?


I connected this book to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Katniss was famous but she had to go on and face the arena all over again. If she lost, her name would go down in history but district 12 would be looked down on again. If she won, she would be a hero to many.


PART 2: Harry is having a great time at Hogwarts and even got accepted onto the Quiddatch team, the first first-year in a long time. He wins 2 matches for his team and then finds out that Snape, the only teacher who seems to hate Harry with a passion, is planning to steal the Sorcerer's Stone. Harry goes to stop him but gets caught and has to go into the forest with Hagrid, his friends, and Draco and he finds a dead unicorn and a figure drinking it's blood.

I connected this to Maximum Ride books. Max was hated by the Erasers and had to fight them, then found out that one was her brother and they had to work together. Harry and Draco, sworn enemies, were forced to work together which was torture for them both.
