The Sorcerers Stone

In the first Harry Potter book, Harry starts out living with his cruel aunt and uncle and his cousin.

He begins to get mysterious letters which his uncle hides from him. Harry can do strange things, like talking to snakes.

Harry and his family run away to an island where they think the letters can't get to them. But, this time, instead of letters, on Harry's birthday, Hagrid, a giant comes to tell him that he is a wizard; and a famous one at that!

When he goes to Hogwarts the Sorting hat tells him he would do well in Slytherin {the evilish house} but since Harry doesn't want to be bad he is put in Gryffindor.

So Harry goes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and learns to be a wizard. He follows in the footsteps of his father and becomes his house {Gryffindor's} seeker in a game called Quidditch. He also fights a troll and makes two good friends {ron and hermione}

They think that Snape, their cruel potions teacher, is trying to steal the sorcerer's stone so that he can bring Voldemort {the dude who killed Harry's parents and gave him a lightning scar} back from the "dead".

They try to stop him, only to discover that it was not Snape, but Quirrel who was Voldemort's servant.

And then the day is saved.

Deep thought
Did you know that  on the mirror of Erised  Erised is Desire spelled backwards???
