Harry, who has grown up lonely in the cupboard under the stairs, learns just before his eleventh birthday that he is a wizard. Entering Hogwarts, he meets Ron and Hermione and forms friendships, then traces the school's hidden secrets and the conspiracy surrounding the Philosopher's Stone. Along the way he confronts, for the first time, the past of his parents and the dark presence that hunts him. The work balances the excitement of an unfamiliar world, a school coming-of-age, and an adventure narrative.
