Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone by J.K. Rowling shared by taamr

The book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, portrays a picture in my mind of the quite extraordinary adventure of an “ordinary” child, Harry Potter. The story starts off showing Harry at his disregarding and self-esteemed relatives, the Dursley’s. Their definition of caring would be to lock up Harry into a closet and call it his “room”. As Harry starts growing up, he observes bizarre things that he can’t explain. And as the events start getting stranger, the Dursley’s (and Harry), move out to the ocean. Suddenly, at the struck of midnight, when Harry wishes himself a happy 11th birthday, a large man steps inside the Dursley's house hold. This large man, Hagrid, had come to tell Harry that the reason of these outlandish events was because he was a wizard. Hagrid tells Harry that his parents did not die in a car crash, but by being killed by a powerful sorcerer, Voldemort. He additionally explains that Harry was the only one to survive Voldemort’s killing curse and drain out all of Voldemort’s powers. Hagrid then takes Harry to Hogwarts, the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry makes friends fast and even joins the Quidditch team (a magical sport played in the school). But soon, Harry notices that something strange is happening at Hogwarts. He and his two friends, Hermione and Ron, discover that a three-headed dog in the top-most corridor is guarding something. As events start bubbling up, the trio figures that the three headed dog is guarding the Sorcerer’s Stone. This stone is said to create an elixir of life, and turn any metal into gold. Who other than Voldemort, himself wouldn't think of this as an opportunity to come back to full power? In the end, after going past numerous obstacles, Harry defeats Voldemort once again and ends this remarkable tale.
