Harry Potter is just an orphan boy living underneath some stairs in Surrey, a typically dreary place for Britain. On his eleventh birthday, a friendly giant named Hagrid comes a-knocking, and reveals to Harry that he’s no ordinary boy — but a wizard, the Boy Who Lived; the only person in the whole of the world to survive the wrath of the evil Lord Voldemort. Before long, Harry’s got himself a wand and a broom, and is off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – a secret academy where young magic users hone their craft. Along with his two new friends, B-student Ron and egghead Hermione, Harry sniffs out a conspiracy to bring back He Who Shall Not Be Named, and the trio set out to stop it by recovering the powerful Sorcerer’s Stone.
