There was a shower of shooting stars when Harry Potter was born - weathermen all over our world of Muggles were amazed. But in the other world, the Ministry of Magic wasn't surprised at all. For Harry Potter was to be one of its finest and most famous wizards. Brought by flying motorcycle to live with his orrible Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia nd their truly terrible son Dudley, Harry lives unhappily until his eleventh birthday. He is rescued by the magic, if somewhat disorganised, messenter Hagrid, and taken to Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Work Description

Harry Potter #1

When mysterious letters start arriving on his doorstep, Harry Potter has never heard of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

They are swiftly confiscated by his aunt and uncle.

Then, on Harry’s eleventh birthday, a strange man bursts in with some important news: Harry Potter is a wizard and has been awarded a place to study at Hogwarts.

And so the first of the Harry Potter adventures is set to begin.
