The Sorcerer’s Stone (Rowling, 1997)
Harry Potter who lives with his Muggle [magician’s counterpart who has no magical talent] uncle and aunt receives the invitation letter to stay and study magic in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hogwarts becomes the second home for the orphan wizard, Harry Potter. Harry makes friends with Hermione and Ron. Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts inspires Harry Potter. Hagrid, the gigantic but warm-hearted keeper of the secret woods, becomes a good mentor for the young and immature boy who lost his parents when he was a baby. Through friendship and rivalry among the school’s four houses, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and their residents, Harry Potter learns magical expertise. However, the rumor that the only wizard who survived the deathly curse of the evil Voldemort [a powerful and dangerous wizard who is trying to take over the Muggle and wizarding world] always brings other wizards’ curiosity or jealousy on Harry Potter. Voldemort targets the sorcerer’s stone which enables immortal life. Harry Potter protects the sorcerer’s stone from Voldemort with a helping hand from Ron and Hermione. The skinny orphan boy with a scar on his forehead proves to be a hero.
