About the Book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone |
The story begins with Harry Potter, an unassuming boy living a bleak life with his disdainful aunt, uncle, and cousin. On his eleventh birthday, Harry discovers his true heritage as a wizard and receives an invitation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he finds camaraderie with fellow students Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and confronts his foreboding connection with the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort. From learning potent spells to playing the thrilling sport of Quidditch, Harry’s first year at Hogwarts is anything but ordinary. The trio stumbles upon the mystery of the Sorcerer's Stone, an artifact with the power to grant eternal life, which Voldemort sorely seeks. Harry must come face-to-face with danger, make decisions that test his courage and character, and learn valuable lessons about friendship and bravery. |
