Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Harry Potter has lived his entire life believing he’s ordinary — unwanted by his cruel aunt and uncle and confined to the cupboard under the stairs at number four, Privet Drive. But everything changes on his eleventh birthday. Mysterious letters begin arriving, written in green ink on yellowed parchment and sealed with a purple crest bearing four animals and a single letter: H. Desperate to keep the truth hidden, his relatives destroy every letter — until a towering giant named Rubeus Hagrid crashes through the door with life-altering news. Harry is no ordinary boy. He is a wizard. And he has been invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As Harry steps into a hidden world of magic, friendship, and danger, he discovers the truth about his parents, his past, and the dark force that once tried to destroy him. An unforgettable adventure is about to begin — one that will change the wizarding world forever.
