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 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. For ten years, no one ever celebrated his birthday.
But on his eleventh birthday, everything changed. A messenger owl delivered a mysterious letter: an invitation to a place that Harry—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 called the Nimbus 2000 to play Quidditch, 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, one that was deeply connected to Harry's fate.
