Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first
novel in the Harry Potter
series which was written by the English writer, J. K. Rowling. She tells the
story of a boy – his name is Harry Potter and he is a young wizard. The story describes
how Harry discovers he is a wizard, how he makes close friends and a few
enemies at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His friends are
ordinary children: Ron, a red-haired boy and Hermione, a bushy-haired clever
girl. Harry Potter is an ordinary-looking boy too, with black hair and glasses.
The three friends fight together and they stop the evil wizard Lord Voldemort
to come back. Lord Voldemort is the man who killed Harry's parents when Harry
was one year old.
The book, J.K.
Rowling's debut novel, was published on 26 June 1997 by Bloomsbury in London.
In America, you can buy the book with a different title: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
It was the best-selling book in August 1999 and it received a lot of awards. It
has been translated into several other languages and has been made into a long
film of the same name.

the influence of Jane Austen, J.K. Rowling’s favourite writer and the ancient
