At the age of one, Harry Potter had become an orphan. Hagrid, Albus Dumbledore’s assistant, put him in front of his closest relatives’, the Dursleys’, house. Unfortunately, his uncle and aunt hated him.
As he grew up, he never received love from his aunt and uncle, the way his cousin Dudley did. The whole family often bullied him and treated him like an unworthy thing.
One day, before his 11th birthday, a letter came. Before Harry could open it, Uncle Vernon had thrown it into the fire. More letters came, but Uncle Vernon made efforts to prevent Harry from obtaining them. He brought the whole family to a shack in a deserted island in the middle of the sea.
In the middle of the night, a giant came to give Harry his letter personally. The giant was Hagrid. Hagrid told Harry that he is a wizard and he was to go to a school called Hogwarts.
Hagrid helped Harry prepare for everything before he went to Hogwarts. On the train to Hogwarts, he met a family of redheads called the Weasleys. He made friend with the youngest boy, who is just his age, Ron. Harry and Ron became firm friends. They both got into Gryffindor, and so was a clever girl named Hermione, whom they hated at first, but also became their friend after a troll attack.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s Defense of the Dark Arts teacher was Professor Quirrell, a young and nervous man who appeared to be paranoid and scared of anything that moves. Their Potions teacher was Professor Snape, an irritable and seemingly evil man. There was a stone that could made the owner live eternally, and the three was sure someone was going to steal it.
They thought it was Snape. The truth was, Snape was preventing Quirrell from stealing it. Turned out, Quirrell was possessed by Lord Voldemort himself, the most powerful dark wizard that ever lived.
