This story is about a baby named Harry Potter. The boy who lived. His parents died when he was a baby. They were killed by Lord Voldemort. Ten years later Harry lives in a closet under the stairs with his cousin Dudley, his uncle Vernon and his aunt Petunia. All of which hate him. One day he received a letter from Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But he doesn't get the letter. Uncle Vernon stole it from him before he could read it. Eventually thousands of letters started flooding in through the chimney. Uncle Vernon gave up and moved to a hut on a rock at sea. Finally Harry gets the letter and is allowed to go to Hogwarts.
First the giant named Hagrid takes him to Diagon Alley to get all he needs for school. When he goes to school he is put into Gryffindor house with his new friend Ron Weasley and the "know it all" Hermione. Draco Malfoy was put in Slytherin, Gryffindor's worst enemy. Professor Snape is a potions teacher and will do anything to get Harry in trouble. Harry finds the mirror of Eredise. A mirror that shows someone's deepest hope. Harry, of course, saw himself with family.
When Snape is acting suspiciously at a Quiditch match, Hermione temporarily sets him on fire. And when a giant troll came into the school, why did Professor Snape go the way it came from? Harry and Ron accidentally lock the troll in the Girl's Toilets where Hermione was! Ron and Harry go in and outsmart the troll before they stab him in the nostril with Harry's wand and then Ron stole the cub and smashed it on the head. INSTANT KNOCKOUT!!!
When they ask Hagrid about Snape he accidentally tells them about Nicholas Flamel. After weeks and weeks they finally found out who he was. He was the man who helped Professor Dumbledor create the Philosophers stone. But what is the Philosopher's Stone? A stone that gives ultimate power and eternal life. When the new term starts Snape sent Dumbildor a fake letter from the ministry of magic. Dumbildor flies of to see them. Meanwhile Harry, Ron and Hermione get past Fluffy the three-headed twelve foot tall dog. All it takes is a little bit of good music.
Next to go through was a really stiff trapdoor. Harry stopped playing his flute to open the door and suddenly the dog woke up. Harry passed the flute to Hermione to play while he jumped down the hole. It took about 15 seconds for Harry to hit the ground. Luckily he landed on something plantlike. Then Ron and Hermione come down. Hermione identifies it as a Devil's Snare and knows that it loves dark. But it also has a bad temper. It suddenly grows and starts strangling Harry and Ron. Hermione used her wand to create a fire. The plant shrivelled up and let go of the 'deadly duo'.
Then they go into a room full of birds. There was a door on the other side of the room. They ran over to it and it was locked. Even her 'leveiosa' spell wouldn't make it open. Then they realised three broomsticks resting on the wall. They looked closer at the birds. They were actually keys with wings. The three of them grabbed a broom each and looked for a key that could fit in the lock. Then Harry spotted one with recently handled wings. So the person who was in here before them had used that key. Harry raced towards the key while Ron was above making sure it didn't go up while Hermione was below. Harry used his amazing broomstick skills to get the key. Then the three of them parked their broomsticks on the ground and raced over to the door. Harry shoved the key into the hole with difficulty. But it worked and he turned the handle.
Right before them was a giant chess set with live pieces. Ron is an expert at chess while Harry and Hermione are pretty rubbish. The three of them realised that there were three pieces missing. After ten minutes of intense chess playing Harry got his first move. Then Ron found a crucial move he could do. But he would have to be taken himself. It was the only thing he could do. So he moved to that square. The other teams queen went to that same square. What a sore winner! The queen picked up Ron by the ankle and threw him to the side of the board. Ron was almost unconscious but just managed to say, "take the queen and leave me". Harry took the queen and all the opposing pieces vanished. They had won. Harry and Hermione took one last look at Ron and they advanced through the now unlocked door.
Next was a table with seven goblets. There was a note on the table that had a riddle. There was an empty passage way at the end of the room. Also, The door they had just come through vanished. Then both of them rose to purple flames. They had to get the right goblets to survive. Three of them instantly kill you. Two of them knocked you out for weeks. One of them let you go back through the previous doors. And one of them let you go through the next door. Hermione used her logic to work out which ones were safe. Harry told her to go back through the doors, get Ron, and wright a letter to dumbledor. Hermione drank the right potion and went through the door. As she walked through the fire, she realised it was freezing. Harry then drank the potion that Hermione had told him to drink and walked through the flames. He too, felt a sudden chill go through him. He came out of the freezing fire and found himself in a corridor.
He walked down it causisly. After about a minute he walked into something that looked like an ancient roman arena. He looked down and saw Professor Quirell Staring into the almighty Mirror of Erised. So all that time he had been accusing Snape it was actually Quirell. The teacher who had been frightened when he saw a cat on the fields. Quirell heard his footsteps and turned around. He had been expecting Harry to come. He asked Harry to tell him what he saw in the mirror. Harry saw the stone go in his pocket. Seconds later he felt a sudden weight in his right pocket. Harry lied and said he saw himself as normal. Then there was a loud voice, booming 'He lies'. Quirell asked him again. Harry fell silent and ran away. Quirell snapped his fingers and fire burst up around the edge of the arena. Quirell unravelled his Turpin. He spun around and the ugliest face revealed. It was Him-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named (a.k.a Voldemort). Voldemort lept at Harry willingly. As soon he touched him he started burning up. This was caused from love. Harry's Mother, Lily,Had sacrificed herself to save Harry when he was a baby.
