When HARRY POTTER AND THE
SORCERER'S STONE begins, Harry is an
orphan who lives with the awful Dursleys,
his aunt, uncle, and cousin. On his 11th
birthday, Harry receives a mysterious letter,
but his uncle destroys it before he can read
it. Letters keep coming, and the Dursleys
panic and hide away on a remote island.

3. On the train to Hogwarts, Harry meets his
future best friends, Ron Weasley and
Hermione Granger. When school begins,
things really get exciting, with classes in
Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts,
a sport called Quidditch (a sort of flying
soccer/basketball), a mysterious trap door
guarded by a three-headed dog named Fluffy,
and a baby dragon named Norbert.

4. Throughout the year, Harry
adjusts to his magical life and
begins to come to grips with his
famous status in the wizarding
world and what he represents to
the darker forces there. He also
learns some important lessons
about loyalty and courage.

5. But they're found by Hagrid , a huge,
bearded man with a weakness for
scary-looking creatures. It turns out
that the letters were coming from
Hogwarts, a boarding school for young
witches and wizards, and Harry is
expected for the fall term, so Hagrid
whisks him off to begin his new life as
a wizard in training.
