Features: At the age of one, Harry Potter mysteriously appeared at the doorstep of his aunt and uncle after losing his parents. Harry suffered bullying at his aunt and uncle's house, spending ten extremely painful years. His aunt and uncle were as terrifying as demons, and their mischievous son, Dudley—a fat, spoiled, and bullying giant—often physically abused Harry. Harry's "room" was a dark and small pantry located at the bottom of the stairs. For ten years, no one ever celebrated his birthday. But on his eleventh birthday, everything changed. A messenger owl brought a mysterious letter: inviting Harry to a place that he—and all who read his story—would find unforgettable and incredible—Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At the magic school, Harry not only found friends, learned to fly, played Quidditch with a broomstick modelled as the Nimbus 2000, but also received an Invisibility Cloak. He discovered that everything at the school—whether in class, at meals, or during sleep—was filled with magic. However, a magical stone appeared, which was closely intertwined with Harry's fate.
