Joanne K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Gebunden

Kurzbeschreibung

Harry Potter hat sich bisher für einen ganz normalen Jungen gehalten. Er hat sich getäuscht! Er ist ein Hexer, einer in den die Zauberer und Hexen große Hoffnungen setzen. Er muß die Zauberei von der Pike auf lernen, viele Abenteuer bestehen und er gewinnt vor allem gute Freunde. So ganz nebenbei rettet er die Welt der guten Zauberer und Hexen vor dem Untergang, aber das ist fast schon selbstverständlich.

Beschreibung

Harry Potter is an ordinary boy who lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon s house, which he thinks is normal for someone like him who s parents have been killed in a car crash . He is bullied by them and his fat, spoilt cousin Dudley, and lives a very unremarkable life with only the odd hiccup (like his hair growing back overnight!) to cause him much to think about. That is until an owl turns up with a letter addressed to Harry and all hell breaks loose! He is literally rescued by a world where nothing is as it seems and magic lessons are the order of the day. Read and find out how Harry discovers his true heritage at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, the reason behind his parents mysterious death, who is out to kill him, and how he uncovers the most amazing secret of all time, the fabled Philosopher s Stone! All this and muggles too. Now, what are they??

Klappentext

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
