I never read these stories or watched any of the movies, until now. I am enjoying this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.
Harry's parents are killed and he is placed with his mothers sister and her family. They are "muggles" or someone that is nonmagic. It turns out they do not tell Harry anything about his past-he came to live with them as a baby. They and their son are cruel to Harry. Harry is a famous wizard, having survived being killed by wizard that no one mentions his name out of fear.
Hagrid arrives to bring Harry to Hogwarts school, for wizards and witches. This story takes you through his first year and his troubles and triumphs.
Harry becomes friends with Ron, who's older brothers have graduated from or are still in Hogwarts. A pesky girl Hermione makes them miserable until they become friends. The trio are always up to something. The students are split into 4 houses. The sorting hat, tells them which house they will be in; after the first year student puts the hat on, before the banquet given on the first day. The trio are all assigned to Gryffindor house.
Draco Malfoy's father is rich and powerful and Draco is a bully and a coward. He is always picking on the group. Draco is in the Slytherin house.
Harry is about to learn lots of interesting things. He also spends Christmas at the school and has the best Christmas of his life, complete with presents and a big feast.
I have seen the first 5 movies and am enjoying them. By watching the movies it has made reading the book easier with the names, etc
