It wouldn't be a '90s book roundup without the book that started it all: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. It's hard to believe this children's book published in 1997 would become an international bestseller, lead to an eight-film franchise plus spin-off movie series, and spark the creation of amusement parks. This year, go back to where it all started, inside the cupboard under the stairs at Number 4 Privet Drive. When a mysterious giant shows up to tell Harry Potter that he's really a wizard, Harry finally gets to escape his miserable aunt and uncle to discover the truly spectacular world at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But when Harry and his friends, Ron and Hermione, discover something sinister, they won't stop until they've destroyed the evil taking over the school.
