Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997)
Author: J.K. Rowling
Country: Great Britain
Introduction: Harry Potter’s parents, Lily and James, were killed by the evil dark wizard Voldemort. Little Harry narrowly escaped death because of the power of motherly love, but was left with a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead. Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, a school that teaches magic, made the decision to leave the infant Harry with the Dursley family until he reaches school age. 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.
