Features: At the age of one, Harry Potter mysteriously appears at the doorstep of his aunt and uncle after losing his parents. Harry suffers bullying at his aunt and uncle's house, spending ten extremely painful years. His uncle and aunt resemble demons, and their mischievous son, Dudley—a fat, spoiled, and bullying giant—physically abuses Harry. Harry's "room" is a dark and small pantry at the bottom of the stairs. For ten years, no one has ever celebrated his birthday. But on his eleventh birthday, everything changes. A messenger owl brings 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 finds friends, learns to fly, rides a broomstick called the Nimbus 2000 to play Quidditch, but also receives an invisibility cloak. He discovers that everything at the school—from classes to meals to sleep—is filled with magic, but a magical stone appears, which is closely related to Harry's destiny.
