Harrius Potter Et Philosophi Lapis / Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
by J. K. Rowling
Review this book!
Eleven-year-old Harry Potter was a baby when his parents died and since that time he has been living with his horrible Uncle Vernon, dislikable Aunt Petunia, and truly disgusting cousin Dudley. Miserable and lonely, Harry is shocked when he receives a letter inviting him to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now living at this special school, which is kept a secret from all those not involved in the worlds of magic, Harry begins to learn the truth about the death of his parents and discovers his truly amazing family history. This book is the first entry in the phenomenally popular Harry Potter series of books. Enjoyed by both children and adults, these books literally changed the face of children's publishing when, as a result of their stunning popularity, the New York Times actually began compiling and publishing a list of best-selling children's books--for the first time in that newspaper's history.

Publisher Notes
Latin translation of the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's
Stone in which Harry Potter, a normal eleven-year-old boy, discovers that he is a wizard. Long ago,
Harry's parents were killed in a battle with the evil Lord Voldemort. When we first meet Harry, he is
living miserably with his repulsive and non-magical (or Muggle) Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley,
and their even more revolting son, Dudley. Following a bizarre but hilarious chain of events, Harry finds
himself at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, with an outrageous cast of characters, including
super-smart Hermione Granger, vile Draco Malfoy, sinister Professor Snape, and the wise Headmaster
Albus Dumbledore. Adventures galore ensue,
