Book Description: Harry Potter, an ordinary eleven-year-old boy, discovers that he is a wizard. Long ago, Harry's parents were killed in a battle with the evil Lord Voldemort. When we first meet Harry, he is living miserably with his repulsive and non-magical (or Muggle) Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley, and their even more revolting son, Dudley. Following a bizarre but hilarious chain of events, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with an outrageous cast of characters, including super-smart Hermione Granger, vile Draco Malfoy, sinister Professor Snape, and the wise Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Adventures galore ensue. Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy—until he is rescued by a beetle-eyed giant of a man, enrolls at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, learns to play Quidditch, and does battle in a deadly duel. All because Harry Potter is a wizard! Follow the adventures of Harry Potter as he discovers the magical, the dangerous, the unpredictable world of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In Britain, the book is called Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, but when the book was published in the U.S., it was called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (although the book itself is the same). This is why the film of the book is referred to by two different names. J.K. Rowling reads these books packed with fantastic wizarding facts and amaze your friends with your knowledge of Harry Potter's magical world.
