Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone《哈利波特与魔法石》
一岁的哈利波特失去父母后，神秘地出现在姨父姨妈家的门前。哈利在姨父家饱受欺凌，度过十年极其痛苦的日子。姨父和姨妈好似凶神恶煞，他们那混世魔王儿子达力，一个肥胖、娇惯、欺负人的大块头，更是经常对哈利拳脚相加。哈利的“房间”是位于楼梯口的一个又暗又小的碗橱。十年来，从来没有人为他过过生日。
但是在他十一岁生日那天，一切都发生了变化，信使猫头鹰带来了一封神秘的信：邀请哈利去霍格沃茨魔法学校。
在魔法学校，哈利不仅找着了朋友，学会了空中飞行，骑着一把型号为光轮2000的飞天扫帚打魁地奇球，还得到了一件隐形衣。他发现那里的一切——从上课到吃饭到睡觉都充满了魔力，但是一块魔石出现，它与哈利的命运息息相关……
Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That’s because he’s being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he’s really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.

The Boy Who Lived
Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.
Mr Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large moustache. Mrs Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbours. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn’t think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs Potter was Mrs Dursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years; in fact, Mrs Dursley pretended she didn’t have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbours would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn’t want Dudley mixing with a child like that.
When Mr and Mrs Dursley woke up on the dull, grey Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country. Mr Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work and Mrs Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair.
None of them noticed a large tawny owl flutter past the window.
