Eleven-year-old Harry Potter’s life turns upside down when a giant named Hagrid breaks open his aunt and uncle’s door, gives his nasty cousin a pig’s tail, and tells him the truth of his past.

On the train to his new school, Harry meets two students who will become his best friends: Ron Weasley, who has six brothers and sisters, and Hermione Granger, a clever but annoying witch with fluffy brown hair. Together, they battle trolls, learn spells and roam around the school. However, after a clue from Hagrid, they find out that the Philosopher’s Stone, a legendary substance that can provide life and turn metal into pure gold, is hidden inside Hogwarts! Can the trio stop the evil forces who are trying to steal it and escape from Voldemort, a dark wizard who killed Harry’s parents…

Each book contains an exciting adventure which slowly reveals more of Harry and Voldemort’s history. As Harry ages, the final battle with Voldemort draws closer as well. Can he save the wizarding world and thwart Voldemort’s evil plans?
