Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: John Mixner

          This is the book I read. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is about a wizard named Harry Potter whose parents were killed by an evil wizard named Voldemort. Harry lives with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and his cousin Dudley. Honestly, I think they just hate him and want him out of there house. Anyway, one day, a letter comes in the mail that is addressed to Harry. Dudley snatched it from Harry, and gave it to Uncle Vernon. He told Aunt Petunia to come to him. Uncle Vernon burned the letter and gave Harry Dudley's second room. A second letter came that was addressed to Harry, but it had Harry's new location on it. So Uncle Vernon nailed the mail slot shut. The letters for Harry just came through the cracks in the doors, so Uncle Vernon nailed the front and back doors shut. One Sunday, while Uncle Vernon thought he finally beat the anonymous letter sender, letters for Harry starting shooting out of the fireplace. Uncle Vernon didn't take being bested so well because he told Harry, Dudley, and Aunt Petunia to pack some belongings because they were moving away from number four Privet Drive. One day, while the Dursleys were at a hotel, they got another letter for Harry. This set Uncle Vernon to another universe with rage. He bought an old, rickety house on an island with no neighbors. On the night of Harry's eleventh birthday, the door to the house came crashing down. A man named Hagrid stepped in. After a little talk with Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, and turning Dudley into a half pig, Harry left for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

           Harry had to get all of his supplies for Hogwarts, then a few days later, he left for Hogwarts. On the way to Hogwarts, Harry meets Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger. At Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine get placed in one of the four houses called Griffindor [there is Griffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin]. During Harry's first year at Hogwarts, he joins a quidditch team, sees his parents in a mirror, and beats Voldemort, but that's only the most important things that happened. At the end of every year at Hogwarts, the for houses have a contest for the most points earned throughout the course of the year. By five points, Griffindor beat Slytherin forthe house cup.
