Features: At the age of one, Harry Potter mysteriously appeared at the doorstep of his aunt and uncle after the death of his parents. Harry suffered bullying in his aunt and uncle's house for ten extremely painful years. His uncle and aunt were terrifying figures, and their mischievous son, Dudley—a fat, spoiled, and bullying giant—often physically abused Harry. Harry's "room" was a dark and small pantry at the bottom of the stairs. Over the 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, rode a broomstick named Firebolt 2000 to play Quidditch, but also received an invisibility cloak. He discovered that everything at the school—classrooms, meals, and sleep—was filled with magic, but a magic stone appeared, and it was closely linked to Harry's destiny.
