Brief summary:
All Harry Potter knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley-a great swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years.

But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry-and anyone who reads about him-will find unforgettable.

The international favorite of kids and parents alike. The bully gets his comeuppance, and the good guy gets the magic powers. We all wish real-life were more like it is in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
