Sorcerer's Stone. Harry Potter learns of his past, and goes to Hogwarts for his first year at the magical school.

Harry Potter learns of his parents, and the magical world they lived in before he was orphaned at an early age. After 10 years of life with his very unmagical relatives, Harry is given a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Plunging unprepared into the wizarding world, which lies in and around the world of non magical people, called muggles by magical folk, Harry finds he is famous, and has been ever since his parents died. For Harry Potter and his parents were magically attacked by the most powerful dark wizard in the world, and while only Harry survived he also somehow reduced the evil Lord Voldemort to a lifeless shadow, all but dead. Harry befriends two fellow students almost instantly, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Ron is the youngest son of a magical family, and all his brothers have gone through Hogwarts before him. Hermione's parents are muggle dentists, but are very proud of their magical daughter. As well as friends, Harry quickly makes one bitter enemy, Draco Malfoy. The sneering, superior son of an old and evil family offers alliance to the famous Potter early on, and immediately offers undying enmity when the offer is refused.

Introduced for the first time to magic, Hogwarts and it's staff and students, Harry begins to settle in and quickly becomes involved in adventures revolving around a mysterious object removed to Hogwarts from Gringotts wizard bank, for safe keeping. Safety in this case comes in the form of Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts and reputedly the only person Voldemort ever feared. The object turns out to be the legendary Philosopher's Stone, an alchemical substance capable of prolonging life and turning anything into gold. Lord Voldemort seeks the stone, to use it's life giving powers to restore himself to his former strength. Posessing Professor Quirrel, Hogwarts' Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Voldemort passes all the barriers set by Hogwarts' staff, except the last, set by Dumbledore himself. Dumbledore placed the Stone in the Mirror of Erised, from where it could only have been taken by someone who wanted the Stone for itself, not for the powers it posesses. Harry, Hermione and Ron follow Quirrel, but only Harry makes it to the final barrier, where he faces Voldemort alone. Once again, Harry is able to overcome the dark wizard and keep the world safe from his powers.
