| Synopsis: | An eleven-year-old orphan named Harry Potter lives in Great Britain with his aunt, uncle, and cousin, who all treat him terribly. He learns that he is actually a wizard, and famous in the wizarding world that coexists with what we think of as the Real World. He goes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he makes friends and enemies among the students and teachers. Why is he famous? Because an evil wizard named Lord Voldemort killed his parents but could not kill Harry, and was nearly destroyed by trying. Adventures large and small ensue, culminating with Harry and his friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, defeating an attempt to steal the valuable Sorceror's Stone. When Harry leaves Hogwarts for the summer holidays, he is a much happier little boy -- he has friends and a sense of belonging he'd never had before. |
