In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, readers meet orphan Harry Potter just before his 11th birthday. An orphan, Harry is living an unhappy life with the Dursleys (his awful aunt and uncle and their mean son, Dudley) when his life is totally changed by a message delivered by an owl. Unlike the Dursleys who are Muggles (non-magical), Harry learns that he is a wizard, that the jagged scar on his forehead was caused, not by the car accident he'd been told killed his parents, but by Lord Voldemort, the enemy wizard who murdered his parents and that he's been invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Despite the Dursleys best efforts, Harry goes off to boarding school. At Hogwarts, he discovers mysteries, magic, enemies and friends, as well as the game of Quidditch, a team sport played on flying broomsticks. The book is filled with adventure and humor, with just a touch of the serious issues that make the series darker with each book
