Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone |
||||||||||
|
Say you've spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand and jellybeans that come in every flavour, including strawberry, curry, grass and sardine. Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J K Rowling's enchanting, funny debut novel, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". In the non-magical human world - the world of "Muggles" - Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But when a mysterious letter wrenches Harry from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that's where the real adventure begins.. |
