In R. K. Rowlings first venture into the life of Harry Potter, you find that his life is anything but a simple one. For the first eleven years of his life he must learn to deal with the constant brow-beating of his Aunt and Uncle, Petuna and Vernon Dursley, the beatings he receives from his cousin Dudley and his bullish friends. After numerous attempts to contact him about his legacy at Hogawarts, Haggrad comes to rescue him. Prior to getting to Hogwarts, he meets some of his friends, and also his enemies. As the story unfolds he begins to prove himself in the wizarding world. His exploits in his classes and on the Quidich Pitch make him both a hero to his friends and a nemisis to Drako Malfoy.

As he thwarted Lord Voldomort at the age of one, he once again has to face him again. With the help of Ron and Heirmione he battles through all the charms and spells that teachers at Hogwarts established to protect the Sorcerers Stone. He once again is able to defeat Lord Voldomort by keeping the stone safe.
