Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

This is the first Harry Potter novel/movie (fiction). It introduces us to the magical world that exists in secret within the real world. You are introduced to this world through the eyes of the lead character of Harry Potter, who learns suddenly that he is really from a magical family and must begin attending a boarding school for young wizards called Hogwarts.

As the story unfolds, you also learn of an evil wizard named Voldemort who killed Harry's parents, died, and is attempting to return to life. Harry learns that Voldemort is trying to steal a magical Stone, and Harry decides that he must find the stone before Voldemort does. Plot summary Harry Potter learns he is a wizard and all about Voldemort. Then he gets to Hogwarts and figures out about the Sorcerer's Stone and at the end he has to battle Voldemort who was really part of Professor Quirrell. Harry is gratefully swept from the home and company of his atrocious family members. His Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and his dreaded cousin, Dudley. He is taken to Hogwarts, a school of magic. He there learns that he is magic. At Hogwarts he finds friendship and care which he'd never had before. But when Harry, and 2 of his friends (Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley) go to the forbidden third floor they discover just why it is forbidden. They also notice a trap door. It is only natural that they wonder what is beyond it. They soon discover that the trap door must lead to the Philosopher's Stone! A stone which will turn any substance to gold and grant any drinker eternal life. They believe that the horrid potions master, Snape, is after it! They must stop him!
