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 like demons, and their mischievous son Dudley—a fat, spoiled, and bullying giant—often beat Harry with fists and feet. Harry's "room" was a dark and small pantry at the bottom of the stairs. For ten years, no one ever celebrated his birthday for him. 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 never forget and find incredible—Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At the magic school, Harry not only found friends, learned to fly, rode a broomstick modelled as the Nimbus 2000 to play Quidditch, but also received an Invisibility Cloak. He discovered that everything there—whether in class, at meals, or at sleep—was filled with magic. However, a magic stone appeared, which was closely related to Harry's fate. Warner Bros. spent billions of dollars filming this, and within just five days, box office revenue in North America soared. What kind of magic sparked the Harry Potter frenzy?

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
After spending one year studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter's summer vacation began. He endured a painful holiday at his aunt and uncle's house. Just as he was packing to go back to school, the house-elf Dobby came to warn him: if Harry returned to Hogwarts, disaster would strike. But Harry, undeterred, returned to Hogwarts. The new professor Gilderoy Lockhart was pompous and repulsive; the ghost "Moaning Myrtle" haunting the girls' bathroom bothered him; the younger girl Ginny cast him concerned glances, making him feel awkward; and the boy Colin Creevey, in his star-struck pursuit, often made him flee. But all this was merely the prelude to disaster. Just as Dobby had predicted, Harry suffered countless hardships, faced various dangers, and was perplexed by unsolvable mysteries: students at Hogwarts were turning into stones one after another. Was this the masterwork of the morally corrupt student Draco Malfoy? Or a careless mistake by the kind-hearted Hagrid? Or is someone else plotting a greater in Hogwarts? And does this all have something to do with the legendary Chamber of Secrets? Harry is determined to uncover the truth.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter has already spent two extraordinary years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and has long heard of a heavily guarded prison in the wizarding world called Azkaban, where a notorious prisoner named Sirius Black is held. Rumor has it that Black is a loyal follower of the "Dark Arts" master Voldemort—the murderer of Harry's parents—and has ended the lives of thirteen people with a single spell. Unfortunately, Black has escaped from Azkaban and is relentlessly pursuing Harry. Even in his sleep, Black still murmurs incoherently: "He's at Hogwarts. He's at Hogwarts." Although Harry is within the castle walls of the magic school, supported by the sincere help of his friends and the caring attention of his teachers, the campus is fraught with danger, and his life is constantly threatened. One day, Black finally stands before Harry.
