Harry Potter vive con gli zii e il cuginetto sin dalla più tenera età dopo la morte dei suoi genitori. I parenti non lo amano per nulla. Harry sta ormai per compiere undici anni e viene guardato male anche per alcune sue capacità 'magiche'. Che sono effettive perché Harry è figlio di maghi e comincia a ricevere lettere, regolarmente sequestrate, portate da gufi. Dovrà giungere il gigantesco Hagrid a recapitargliene personalmente una perché possa apprendere di essere stato ammesso a frequentare la Scuola di Magia e Stregoneria di Hogwarts. Gli zii a questo punto non possono far più nulla e Harry raggiunge la Scuola dove apprende che il suo nome è già noto e dove scoprirà di avere naturali doti magiche.
