Travelling to his new school on the Hogwarts Express, Harry becomes friends with other first year wizards, Ron, Hermione and Neville. With them he shares the nervousness of being a new student, the anxiety of which House the Hogwarts Sorting house will place them in, and the excitement of learning how to become a proper wizard!
But as Ron,Hermione and Harry explore the old, towering Hogwarts Castle, become friends with other young witches and wizards and the groundskeeper, Hagrid, and begin to loathe Poitions lessons with the hideious leader of Slytherin House - Snape - they find that something's not quite right about Hogwarts. Why else would that particular corridor be out of bounds? Why else would Snape be threatening the new Transfiguration teacher, Flitwick? And where have Harry, Ron and Hermione heard the name Nicholas Flamel before?
Join Harry as he copes with being a first year student and the youngest Quidditch player in the school, as well as trying to solve the mystery of the Sorcerer's Stone! |
