Harry potter and the sorcerer's stone (harry potter, book 1) - j. k. rowling

Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground.

He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn a cloak of invisibility.

All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley - a great big swollen spoiled bully.

Harrys room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasnt 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.
