Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone Essay, Research Paper

Harry Potter starts off slow, but gets very interesting near the end. In the beginning, you

meet the Dursleys, Harry’s aunt, uncle, and their son Dudley. Then you learn that Harry’s

parents were witches, and that they were destroyed by a evil wizard. A good witch, Albus

Dumbeldoor, sends Harry to the Dursleys, because they’re his only remaining family. The

Dursleys however, hated Harry and his family, so Harry was mistreated for years. He was

forced to live in a cuborrod under the stairs. He had to watch as the fat, stuck up Dudley

got whatever he wanted, and then usually broke whatever it was he got. Then one day

Harry got a letter.

As Harry was beginning to read the letter, his uncle, Vernon Dursley, took it from

him. After reading the letter, Uncle Vernon ripped it up and threw it into the fireplace.

But, Harry got more letters. Uncle Vernon started going crazy, and he boarded up the

whole house. So Harry’s letters started coming through the chimney. After they came

through the chimney, Uncle Vernon made every one pack up and then they just drove for

hours on end. After they finally finished driving, they found out that Uncle Vernon had

rented a small house, which was really more a shack, that was out on an island. They had

to take a small boat a row out to the house. But, this didn’t stop the letters, except this

time they were personally delivered.

The letters were personally delivered by a giant witch named Hagrid. Hagrid

explained to Harry about his parents and how they died, and he told Harry that he was a

witch. Hagrid also told Harry that Harry would be going to the finest witch school in all

the land, Hogwarts. So, Harry and Hagrid set off to by Harry’s school supplies.

To buy these supplies, Hagrid and Harry had to go to another dimention, where

only witches could go. After they got there, Harry found out that he was famous because

the witch who killed his parents couldn’t kill Harry. Because he couldn’t kill Harry, the

witch had disappeared for some reason. After Harry had everything he needed, he was

sent back to the Dursleys.

After he was with the Dursleys for a couple months, Harry went off on a train to

Hogwarts. When he got to Hogwarts, Harry made a couple friends, and an enemy. After a

while Harry became a total snoop around the school. He found out that the evil wizard

that tried to kill him was going to have some one steal the Sorcerers Stone from a hidden

location at Hogwarts. But Harry knew where this hidden location was.

So Harry went to stop this person from stealing the stone, and just before they

killed Harry, Dumbeldoor showed up and saved Harry.
