Rowling, Joanne K. - Harry Potter e la pietra filosofale -
Language: Italian, Novel - Format: ePub
Harry Potter è un predestinato: ha una cicatrice a forma di saetta sulla fronte e provoca strani fenomeni, come quello di farsi ricrescere in una notte i capelli inesorabilmente tagliati dai perfidi zii.

Nello scatenato universo fantastico della Rowling, popolato da gufi portalettere, scope volanti, caramelle al gusto di cavolini di Bruxelles, ritratti che scappano, la magia si presenta come la vera vita e strega anche il lettore allontanandolo dal nostro mondo che gli apparirà monotono e privo di sorprese. Il risveglio dalla lettura lo lascerà pieno di nostalgia, ma ancora illuminato dai riflessi di questo lussureggiante fuoco d’artificio. |
