The little boy Harry is mistreated by the Dursley family until one day he suddenly receives an invitation letter from Hogwarts, which totally changes his life. He comes to Hogwarts and meets two people who become his best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. At Hogwarts, they begin an adventurous journey of looking for the philosopher’s stone.
