Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen

J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter, an orphan living with his cruel relatives, the Dursleys, discovers he is a wizard on his eleventh birthday. He receives an invitation to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hagrid, a gentle giant, introduces Harry to the magical world and reveals that Harry's parents were wizards killed by the dark wizard Voldemort. Harry purchases his school supplies in Diagon Alley, where he acquires his first wand and learns of his unique connection to Voldemort. Despite his difficult start with the Dursleys, Harry's entry into the magical world begins with new friendships and the prospect of a fresh start, far from the difficulties of his early life.
