What this book is about
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone introduces eleven-year-old Harry Potter — raised by cold, resentful relatives — to his true identity as one of the wizarding world's most famous orphans. At Hogwarts he finds friendship, Quidditch, and a confrontation with the dark wizard responsible for his parents' deaths. The opening volume of one of publishing history's most significant series is warm, inventive, and built on the pleasure of a fully realized alternate world just beneath the ordinary.
