Harry Potter

Harry Potter has spent his life in a cramped cupboard beneath his aunt and uncle's staircase, believing his parents died in a car accident. His relatives treat him as an unwanted burden, and Dudley, their spoiled son, makes his life miserable. Then a letter arrives, delivered by an owl, and his quiet existence falls apart. It turns out he belongs to a hidden world where magic is ordinary and lessons begin at a school of witchcraft and wizardry called Hogwarts. Harry starts to learn the truth about his family, the strange circumstances of his parents' deaths, and the danger that seems to follow him. Along the way he discovers a legendary object that could change everything. It is a story about discovering where you truly belong.
