What did Harry Potter know about magic? He was stuck with the decidedly un-magical Dursleys, who hated him. He slept in a closet and ate their leftovers. But an owl messenger changes all that, with an invitation to attend the Hogwarts School for Wizards and Witches, where it turns out Harry is already famous.
Harry Potter has never been the star of the Quidditch team, scoring points while riding a broom high above the ground. He knows no spells, has never helped to hatch a dragon, and has never worn the 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. Harry’s room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn’t had a birthday party in eleven years.
But all that is about to change whena mysterious letter arrives by an owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry- and anyone who reads about him-will find unforgettable.
For it’s there that he finds notonly friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny awaiting him…if Harry can survive the encounter.
