Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: 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 for ten extremely painful years. His aunt and uncle were like terrifying figures, 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. But on his eleventh birthday, everything changed. A messenger owl brought a mysterious letter: an invitation for Harry to go to a place that he—and all who read his story—would never forget and find utterly incredible—Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At the magic school, Harry not only found friends, learned to fly, rode a broomstick named 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. But a magic stone appeared, and it was closely tied to Harry's fate.
