Synopsis:
Harry Potter has spent most of his short life living under the Dursley house stairs where his aunt, uncle and cousin treat him as if he's less than vermin. Harry is unaware of his special wizard heritage until one day when he receives an invitation to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry has to believe this opportunity will surpass his dreary existence in the world of ordinary humans (called Muggles by wizards), so he enrolls in the school and is surprised by the magic and fantasy he uncovers.
