Harry spends his first ten years totally unaware that he has Witchcraft in his background
and that he might possess inherent "special powers". Suddenly, a letter arrives from the Hogwart School of
Wizardry and Witchcraft, telling Harry that he has been accepted as a student, and informing him as to when
classes begin. Of course, Uncle Vernon intercepts and destroys the letter. On the next day, two letters arrive, and
Vernon destroys them. On the next day, many more letters arrive, this time coming in through windows, doors, and
cracks. Finally, after the most stupid flight possible to avoid the letters, enough letters arrive at the boat on which
Uncle Vernon has taken Harry that Harry finally gets his hands on one of the letters.
Harry Potter Book Number 1
Harry is totally dumbfounded with the news that he is a Wizard, but he has to get free of the physical clutches of
Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. They have Harry on a boat headed for nowhere and they had every intention of
keeping Harry from ever attending Hogwarts School. However, Harry receives supernatural assistance. A very
huge man suddenly appears on the boat, out of nowhere, and forcibly removes Harry from the clutches of Uncle Vernon.
His name turns out to be Hagrid, and he is the groundskeeper of Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft.
Book Number 1
Introduced for the first time to magic, Hogwarts and it's staff and students, Harry begins to settle in and quickly becomes involved in
adventures revolving around a mysterious object removed to Hogwarts from Gringotts wizard bank, for safe keeping. Safety in this
case comes in the form of Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts and reputedly the only person Voldemort ever feared.
The object turns out to be the legendary Philosopher's Stone, an alchemical substance capable of prolonging life and turning anything
into gold. Lord Voldemort seeks the stone, to use it's life giving powers to restore himself to his former strength. Posessing Professor
Quirrel, Hogwarts' Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Voldemort passes all the barriers set by Hogwarts' staff, except the last,
set by Dumbledore himself. Dumbledore placed the Stone in the Mirror of Erised, from where it could only have been taken by someone
who wanted the Stone for itself, not for the powers it posesses. Harry, Hermione and Ron follow Quirrel, but only Harry makes it to the
final barrier, where he faces Voldemort alone. Once again, Harry is able to overcome the dark wizard and keep the world safe from his powers.
