Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, also called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the first novel in the immensely popular Harry Potter series by British writer J.K. Rowling. 

It was first issued in Britain in 1997 and materialized in the United States the following year under the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. 

The book’s creative storyline about a boy wizard made it an unremitting hit with both children and adults.

Summary

Ten-year-old Harry Potter is an orphan who lives in the fictitious London suburb of Little Whinging, Surrey, with the Dursleys: his callous Aunt Petunia, despicable Uncle Vernon, and spoiled cousin Dudley. 

The Dursleys barely accept Harry, and Dudley bullies him. One day Harry is shocked to receive a letter managed to him in the cabinet under the stairs. 

Before he can open the letter, however, Uncle Vernon brings it. 

Notes for Harry thereafter arrive each day, in growing numbers, but Uncle Vernon tears them all up, and ultimately, in an endeavor to escape the missives, the Dursleys go to a wretched shack on a small island. 

On Harry’s 11th birthday, a giant named Hagrid comes and reveals that Harry is a sorcerer and that he has been accepted at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. 

He also clears light on Harry’s past, telling the boy that his parents, a magician and a witch, were killed by the evil sorcerer Voldemort and that Harry received the lightning-bolt scar on his forehead during the fatal altercation.

Upon appearance at the school, the students are sorted into one of four homes—Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. 

Harry finishes up in Gryffindor, and during his eventful first year at Hogwarts, he becomes close buddies with two other members of the house, Ron Weasley, who comes from an old wizarding home, and Hermione Granger, whose parents are Muggles. 

Harry also finds that he has an opponent in Draco Malfoy. In addition, Harry’s prowess in flying on a broomstick earns him a star of Gryffindor’s Quidditch team. Expecting to get Harry and his friends into trouble, Draco tricks them into going to their rooms one night, a violation of school rules. 

While attempting to avoid being seen, they discover a three-headed dog protecting a trapdoor. 

Harry gradually figures that Professor Snape, who teaches Potions, dislikes him greatly and is trying to get hold of whatever is behind the trapdoor. 

Harry accepts his dad’s cloak of invisibility as a Christmas present, and, while studying under the cover’s cover, he sees the Mirror of Erised, in which he can visit his parents. 

Later, headmaster Albus Dumbledore demonstrates that the mirror shows the viewer’s deepest desire.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione deduce that the jewel under the trapdoor is the Philosopher’s Stone, which can change metal into gold and can also confer immortality. 

They later discover that Voldemort has been killing unicorns in the Forbidden Forest and consuming their blood, another way to achieve immortality. 

The trio comes to believe that Snape is in partnership with the evil sorcerer. After realizing that Hagrid exposed the personal way to lull the three-headed dog to doze to a questionable stranger, whom they consider to be either Snape or Voldemort, they are certain that the Philosopher’s Stone is in danger. 

The three classmates use the cover of invisibility on a personal mission to get the Stone themselves to save it from Voldemort.

After reaching past the dog and beating various defensive magic, Harry reaches the room in which the Stone is confidential and is surprised to find the always nervous Professor Quirrell there. Quirrell fails to reason out how to recover the Stone from the Mirror of Erised (the last defensive measure) and forces, Harry, to try. 

When standing in the facade of the mirror, wishing only to save the Stone and not use it for himself, Harry touches the Stone’s weight in his pouch but refuses to tell Quirrell that he has it. 

Quirrell unwraps his turban, delivering Voldemort’s look on the back of his head. Voldemort confirms that he has been communicating Quirrell’s body until he can get to the Stone and become fully alive again, and Voldemort/Quirrell, and Harry fight for the power of the Stone until Harry blacks out. 

He provokes in the hospital and learns that Dumbledore held him, the Stone is to be destroyed, and Voldemort exited.
