✨ What Is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone About?
Harry Potter has spent the first 10 years of his life enduring the cruelty of the Dursleys—his aunt, uncle, and their spoiled son, Dudley. But everything changes on Harry's 11th birthday when he discovers that he is, in fact, a wizard, and has been invited to attend Hogwarts, a magical boarding school where broomstick sports (hello, Quidditch), talking portraits, and hidden secrets are just part of everyday life.
As Harry navigates his first year at Hogwarts, he forms close friendships with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, uncovers dark secrets about his past, and begins to learn about his place in a magical destiny that’s bigger than he ever imagined.
