Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

Harry Potter has spent ten miserable years in his aunt and uncle’s cupboard when a letter arrives that changes everything: he is a wizard, and a place awaits him at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Rowling’s opening chapter to the series builds a complete world of moving staircases, house rivalries, and midnight duels, then threads a mystery through it involving a three-headed dog and a stone that grants eternal life. This is the book that turned a generation into readers.
