Harry
potter had a miserable life with his uncles. Harry''s room was a tiny
closet under the steps and his family had never celebrated his
birthday. But one morning Harry got a mysterious letter, a letter
with an invitation to a wonderful place, Hogwarts the school of
witchcraft and wizardry. His uncles didn''t want him to go their but
Harry didn’t want to stay with them. But soon Harry meets Haggard
who helps him get his things in order, for school. Haggard takes
Harry into a strange market, there they buy Harry''s first wound, and
an owl. Harry thought it to be odd that he was well known in the
market, of which he had never been, on account of his parents being
very famous wizards. From there Harry went to the train station, he
didn''t find the right consecutive, suddenly he noticed a family who
needed the same consecutive. He had asked them where the consecutive
is placed. At which point the mother had told him that he need to go
straight through the wall. Reluctantly, Harry ran and entered the
wall straight to the right consecutive. He boarded the train and
looked for a place to sit. When he found one, he sat near a boy named
Ron. They talked all the way to school. A short time would pass,
before a girl named Hermione came into Ron and Harry''s booth; and
started to tell Harry all about this magic school. Upon their
arrival, to the Hogwarts the school of witchcraft and wizardry; Ron
and Harry were placed in the same room. After they stowed their gear,
they went to the Great Hall, where they eat, but no before the school
headmaster divides all the students into groups (houses). Harry, Ron
and Hermione were in the same group (houses) which was named
Griffindor.
In
the first class they were learned to fly on their broom. The teacher
told them about a game, Quidditch. This game you need to fly of a
broom, and to try to put a ball through three hoops, another ball has
wings, and is very small and fast, the object is to catch the winged
ball, called a Widget, to win the game. A teacher wants Harry to try
and play this game. The next morning another Quidditch player teaches
Harry how to play the game. He sets the Widget free and tells Harry
to catch it. Harry flies on his broom and starts after the ball,
eventually he caught it. And at that moment Harry become Quidditch
player.
One
night Harry heard a strange noise from the basement, he went to see
what made the noise, and finds a mirror. When he looked into the
mirror he saw himself, but suddenly the picture in the mirror changed
to Harry and his parents. Harry was amazed, he heard someone coming
and he hurried to his room.
After
a week strange things happened at Hogwarts. Harry and Ron decided to
investigate these things. They heard about a dog that had three heads
who was watching a mysterious room. One night the kids decided to
enter this room. They enter the room with the dog that has three
heads then they proceed to pass the dog. After they work passed the
dog, there was the second room, there was a chess game but the
soldiers were big, very big and alive. Eventually they won the game
and proceeded to pass into the next room. But in the third room Harry
was alone, because he told Ron and Hermione, that he had to go on
alone.
There
Harry had to destroy the stone, but a very powerful man was searching
for this stone too. Harry went on to get the stone, when he held the
stone he fainted and he dreamed about he''s parents, and he found out
that his parents didn’t die in an accident, they were murdered by
an evil wizard. When Harry woke up he saw Hermione and Ron, and they
didn''t remember what had happened after the chess mate game!
