Harry Potter à l'école des sorciers

J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter, an orphan living with his cruel adoptive parents, the Dursleys, discovers on his eleventh birthday that he is a wizard. He receives an invitation to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hagrid, a gentle giant, introduces Harry to the magical world, revealing that Harry's parents were wizards killed by the dark wizard Voldemort. Harry shops for school supplies in Diagon Alley, where he buys his first wand and discovers his unique connection to Voldemort. Despite a rocky start with the Dursleys, Harry's entrance into the magical world begins with new friendships and the promise of a fresh start away from the difficulties of his early life.
