Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's StoneChapter Summary and Chapter Pictures Chapter 1: The Boy Who Lived Mr. Vernon Dursley, director of a firm called Grunnings, and Mrs Petunia Dursley live at Privet Drive no. 4, with their son Dudley. On his way, to work, Mr. Dursley sees strange events. During lunch he hears strangers whispering, catching the name "Potter" and "Harry", and someone saying You-Know-Who has gone at last. At home he suspects they are talking about his nephew "Harry". A man arrives in their street late at night. It is Albus Dumbledore. With his Put-Outer he turns off the street lights. He starts talking to a cat. Suddenly the cat is gone and Professor McGonagall is standing in its place. They start talking about what happened that day and saying that even the Muggles must have noticed something is going on. The muggles had seen flocks of owls and shooting stars; likely brought about by Dedalus Diggle. Dubledore states that the night before, Voldemort turned up in Godric's Hollow to find Lily and James Potter, which are rumoured to be dead. Dubledore tells the professor that he came to bring the Potter's son (Harry) to his aunt and uncle, the Dursleys Hagrid turn's up on a motorbike, borrowed from Sirius Black, bringing Harry. Harry has a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. They leave him in front of the Dursleys door
Ten years have passed and Harry is almost eleven. On Dudley's birthday, the
family plans an outing to the zoo. On family outings, Harry would normally be
made to stay with a neighbor, Mrs. Figg. But Mrs. Figg broke her leg, and
neither Vernon Dursley's sister Marge or her friend Yvonne can keep Harry so he
has to go with Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, Dudley and Dudley's best friend Piers
Polkiss to the zoo. Harry talks to a boa constrictor (snake) and sets it free,
making the glass from it's cage vanish. School is over for the year and therefore so is 'Harry Hunting', a favourite
'sport' of Dudley's and his friends Piers, Dennis, Malcolm and Gordon.It is
decided that next year Dudley will go to Uncle Vernon's old school, Smeltings.
Harry will go to Stonewall High. A letter arrives for Harry in the post, but
Uncle Vernon does not let him have it. The next days more letters arrive. After
the letters start coming through the chimney, Uncle Vernon decides they will
leave the house. The letters even arrive at the hotel they are staying in and
they end up in a hut on an island. Harry is counting down the seconds to
midnight, his birthday. At exactly midnight someone bangs on the door to their
hut. Hagrid, a giant man arrives. He introduces himself as the Keeper of Keys and
Grounds at Hogwarts.He finds out Harry knows nothing at all about his past and
his parents' world, nor that his parents and he are magical and he is
famous.Hagrid gives Harry his invitation to enter Hogwarts, a school of
witchcraft and wizardry and his booklist, signed by Deputy Headmistress Minerva
McGonagall. Harry is amazed to learn that he is a wizard.Hagrid tells Harry
about his past, his parents and about the dark wizard Voldemort who killed them,
along with other of the best 'good' witches and wizards, like the McKinnons, the
Bones and the Prewetts Chapter 5: Diagon Alley In the morning, when Harry wakes up, an owl arrives bringing a newspaper.
Harry pays it five Knuts from Hagrid's pocket.Hagrid reads in the newspaper that
the Ministry of Magic wants Dumbledore for Minister, but as he would never leave
Hogwarts, Cornelius Fudge got the job as Minister of Magic. Harry anxious waits for the end of the summer holidays. He names his owl
Hedwig.Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Dudley take Harry to King's Cross, where
he has to go to platform nine and three-quarters to catch the train that will
take him to Hogwarts.The Dursleys leave, but Harry can't find the platform.
Suddely he hears a woman talking about "muggles" with 4 boys and a girl. The
girl's name is Ginny. The boys' names are Percy, Fred, George and Ron. She
explains to Harry that he should 'walk right through the wall'.After going
through the wall he arrives on the platform where the Hogwarts Express is
already waiting. He hears a boy called Neville telling his grandmother that he
lost his toad again.Fred and George help Harry with his trunk. They realise who
Harry is because of his scar. Percy, with a silver badge on his chest with the
letter "P" on it, can't stay long because he has to go to the prefect's
compartments. Ron joins Harry in his compartment and they start talking. Harry
learns Ron has 2 other brothers, Bill and Charlie. Ron got Percy's old rat
Scabbers. During their trip a women comes by selling Bertie Bott's Every Flavor
Beans, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron
Cakes, Licorice Wands, and other strange things. Harry buys them both some of
everything. The chocolate frogs have collectors cards in them featuring Famous
Witches and Wizards. Ron's still missing Agrippa and Ptolemy. Harry has gotten a
card with a photo of Albus Dumbledore. The card reads: They finally enter Hogwarts and are greeted by Professor McGonagall. In the
Great Hall they will first undergo the Sorting Ceremony using the Sorting Hat,
an old wizard's hat. While they wait, about 20 ghosts pass by; among them the
"Fat Friar", an old Hufflepuff student, talking about "Peeves", the poltergeist.
The students notice the strange ceiling of the Great Hall, dotted with stars.
Hermione tells those around her that the ceiling was bewitched to look like the
sky outside. She read it in Hogwarts, a History. Harry, Ron and Hermione are all
sorted into Gryffindor, along with Lavender Brown, Seamus Finnigan, Neville
Longbottom and Dean Thomas. Sorted into Hufflepuff are Hanna Abbott, Susan Bones
and Justin Finch-Fletchley. Sorted into Ravenclaw are Terry Boot, Mandy
Brocklehurst and Lisa Turpin. Slytherin House's new students will be Millicent
Bullstrode, Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and Blaise Zabini. During dinner they
meet Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, also known as Nearly Headless Nick,
resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower, who tells them about the Bloody Baron, the
Slytherin House ghost. Neville tells a story about how he learned to fly, taught
by his Great Auntie Enid and Great Uncle Algie. Hermione is talking to Percy
about Transfiguration. Seated at the head table are Hagrid, Professor
McGonagall, Professor Dumbledore, Professor Quirrell, and a teacher with a
hooked nose, named Professor Snape, who teaches Potions and who knows a lot
about the Dark Arts. Dumbledore tells the students that he was asked by Mr.
Filch, the caretaker, to remind them that no magic may be used between classes
in the corridor. After dinner, going to Gryffindor Tower, they are harassed by
Peeves the poltergeist. They have to enter Gryffindor Tower through a portrait
of a Fat Lady by saying the password, "Caput Draconis" Harry is trying to get familiar with the school. He finds out that Argus
Filch knows all that happens here and is very eager to catch students doing
things they're not supposed to. His cat, Mrs. Norris, also patrols the
corridors. He has Herbology classes with Professor Sprout outside at the
greenhouses behind the castle and History of Magic classes with Professor Binns,
a ghost. Professor Binns drones on while they scribble down names and dates, and
they get Emeric the Evil and Uric the Oddball mixed up. Harry's Charms teacher
is a tiny little wizard called Professor Flitwick. Defense Against the Dark Arts
is taught by Professor Quirell. Hedwig brings Harry a letter from Hagrid. Snape,
who teaches potions in the dungeons, appears to hate Harry. He starts asking
difficult questions like "What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel
to an infusion of wormwood?" and "Where would you look if I told you to find me
a bezoar?" and "What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?" He
admonishes Harry for not knowing the answers. He ignores Hermione, who had been
raising her hand. The answer to the first question is a sleeping potion, called
the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from a goat which will
save you from most poisons, and monkshood and wolfsbane are the same plant, and
also are called aconite Neville spills his potion on himself, causing him pain.
He had added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire. After
classes they go to Hagrid's cabin on the edge of the forbidden forest where they
also meet Hagrid's boarhound Fang. During breakfast Neville receives a Remembrall from his grandmother. In the
afternoon, Harry has his first flying, which is taught by Madam Hooch. Neville
falls off his broomstick, breaking his wrist. While Draco Malfoy makes fun of
him, Parvati Patil quarrels with Pansy Parkinson of Slytherin. Draco flies away
with the remembrall which Neville lost during his fall and Harry chases him. He
catches it just before it falls on the ground after Draco had thrown it into the
air. Instead of punishing him for flying while he was not allowed to, Professor
McGonagall takes Harry to Oliver Wood, captain of the Quidditch team. Harry is
told he will be the new Seeker, and he will recieve a broom; either a "Nimbus
Two Thousand" or a "Cleansweep Seven" Harry finds out when talking to Fred and
George that they are Beaters on the Quidditch team. Then they tell Harry they
have to go because Lee Jordan believes he has found a new secret passageway out
of the school; probably behind the statue of Gregory the Smarmy. Draco
challenges Harry to a wizard's duel in the Trophy Room at midnight. At midnight,
when Harry and Ron leave, they meet with Hermione and Neville and they all go
together. Hermione tries to talk them out of it, saying that if either of them
gets caught, she won't rest until she's learned the Curse of the Bogies Quirrell
told them about, to use on them. Draco does not show up for the duel. He had
tricked them into coming hoping they would get caught. They almost get caught by
Filch and Mrs. Norris. Trying to get back to Griffindor tower, Peeves tries to
get them caught as well. When they reach the end of a corridor at a locked door,
Hermione opens it with the spell Alohomora and they enter They find a
three-headed dog guarding the room and escape again, returning finally to
Griffindor tower. During breakfast, Harry gets his Nimbus Two Thousand by owl-post. Draco,
seizing the package, is startled to find out from Professor Flitwick that Harry
is allowed a broom, while no first year is allowed to have one at school. He
himself has a 'simple' Comet Two Sixty at home. At night Harry has his first
Quidditch training. Oliver wood teaches Harry the rules: There are seven players
on each team. Three of them are Chasers. The chasers have to throw the Quaffle,
a large ball, through one of the hoops to score a goal, getting ten points for
every goal. There's one Keeper on each team, whose job it is to stop the chasers
from scoring. There are two balls called Bludgers which can knock players off
their brooms. There are two Beaters on each team, trying to knock the Bludgers
toward the other team members. And finally there's the Golden Snitch. The Seeker
who catches it ends the game, getting an extra hundred and fifty points. In
Charms classes, Professor Flitwick is teaching them how to make objects fly,
starting with a feather, with the spell ¤ Wingardium Leviosa. After the class,
Ron is overheard complaining about Hermione who runs away in tears. They hear
that she is crying in the girls' bathroom. During dinner, Professor Quirrell
sprints into the hall saying there's a Troll in the dungeons. Harry and Ron
sneak away to go and search for Hermione, seeing Snape walking through the
corridors. They find out that the Troll is in a room and lock it in. Then they
hear a scream and realise it's Hermione in the girls' bathroom, which is the
room they just locked. They open and enter the bathroom. Harry jumps on the
troll's back and shoves his wand up the troll's nose. Then Ron manages to get
the troll's club away from him using the spell Wingardium Leviosa. The club
hangs in mid-air before falling on the troll, tendering him unconscious.
Hermione lies to prevent Harry and Ron getting punished and they become friends. Harry is scheduled to play in his his first Quidditch match between
Gryffindor and Slytherin. Hermione lends him the book Quidditch Through the
Ages. Professor Snape takes away his book. When they want to get back the book,
they find out that one of his Snape's legs is bloody and mangled. They suspect
that he tried to get past the three-headed dog. During the Christmas holidays, Harry will stay at Hogwarts. Harry, Ron and
Hermione are trying to find more about Nicolas Flamel in books like "Great
Wizards of the Twentieth Century", "Notable Magical Names of Our Time",
"Important Modern Magical Discoveries" and "A Study of Recent Developments in
Wizardry". They do not find him in any of the common books. Students are not
allowed to look in the Restricted Section of the library without special
permission in the form of a signed note from one of the teachers. Without this,
the librarian, Madam Pince will never let them look there. During holiday Ron
teaches Harry Wizard Chess. On Chrismas morning Harry receives several presents;
a wooden flute from Hagrid, a sweater from Mrs. Weasley, fifty pense from his
uncle and aunt, chocolate frogs from Hermione and an Invisibility Cloak from an
anonymous person. The cloak had belonged to Harry's father. Harry enjoyed
Christmas dinner. There was excellent food and stacks of Wizard Crackers every
few feet along the table. When dinner was finished, Harry is laden down with
things he had gotten out of the crackers, including a pack of non-explodable
luminous balloons, a Grow-Your-Own-Warts kit, and his own new wizard chess set.
Harry uses his invisibility cloak to go unseen to the Restricted Section of the
library at night. One of the books shrieks. Harry flees. He almost gets caught
by Filch and Professor Snape Harry enters an empty classroom to hide, finding a
large mirror with an inscription across the top which says "Erised stra ehru oyt
ube cafru oyt on wohsi". In the mirror he sees his family The next night Harry
returns with Ron. The third night, Professor Dumbledore is waiting for him in
the room and explains to him that the Mirror of Erised shows the deepest, most
desperate desires of our hearts. He goes on to tell Harry that the mirror will
be moved to a new location and asks Harry not to go looking for it again. "It
does not do well to dwell on dreams and forget to live." Harry has nightmares about his parents disappearing in a flash of green
light, while a high voice cackles with laughter. Harry finds out that Snape will
be referee for his next Quidditch match. He tells Ron and Hermione, who tell him
he should not play. At that moment Neville topples into the common room, his
legs stuck together by a Leg-Locker Curse, put on him by Draco Malfoy.
Comforting him, Neville gives Harry back a Famous Witches and Wizard card from
one of the chocolate frogs they gave him to comfort him, and suddenly Harry
reads and remembers he saw Flamel's name on this card before. Hermione gets a
book from her room and they read about Flamel. He is the only known maker of the
Sorcerer's Stone which can transform any metal into pure gold and also produces
the Elixer of Life, which will make the drinker immortal. Flamel's wife's name
is Perenelle. They suspect that the three-headed dog must be guarding Flamel's
Sorcerer's Stone. Harry, Ron and Herminone practice the Leg-Locker Curse
Locomotor Mortis in case they need to use it on Professor Snape. During a
Quidditch match Ron and Neville have a fight with Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle.
After the match he follows Snape sneaking into the forbidden forest and listens
to him talking to Quirrell. Harry, Ron and Hermione study for their final exams. While looking up Dittany
in One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi they meet Hagrid in the library, hiding
something behind his back. Trying to figure out what he's hiding, Ron looks in
the section where Hagrid was looking, and comes back with books like Dragon
Species of Great Britain and Ireland, From Egg to Inferno and A Dragon Keeper's
Guide. They suspect that Hagrid wants to have a Dragon. It is against the law to
keep a Dragon, as dragon breeding was outlawed by the Warlock's Convention of
1709. Ron says there's still Dragons in Britain, two known species being the
Common Welsh Green and the Hebridean Black. Later they go to Hagrid's hut.
Hagrid tells them that many teachers helped to guard the sorcerer's stone;
Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, Professor Quirrell,
Dumbledore and Professor Snape. Hagrid shows them a dragon egg he won the night
before from a stranger. He wants to breed it and has taken a book from of the
library called Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit. The dragon is a
Norwegian Ridgeback. When the egg hatches someone is peeking through the
windows.... Malfoy has seen the dragon. Hagrid names his dragon Norbert.
Realising he can't keep it, they decide to send it to Charlie in Romania. They
send Charlie a letter by owl and he writes them back telling them he would be
glad to take the dragon and that he will ask some friends to pick it up at
midnight on saturday from the tallest tower of Hogwarts. Ron had been bitten on
his hand when he helped Hagrid feed Norbert and the wound had gotten infected.
He had to go to the hospital wing to have it looked after. Ron left Charlie's
letter in a book Malfoy took. They knew that Malfoy would find the letter and
learn that they are planning to send Norbert away on saturday. Saturday night
they take Norbert in a cage under Harry's Invisibility Cloak up the tower.
Professor McGonagall finds Malfoy lurking around and sends him back with
detention. The moment Charlie's friends fly off with Norbert they are caugh by
Filch. Apparently Neville heard Malfoy's story and told Professor McGonagall. She is
furious, leading Neville with her. She takes fifty points per student from
Gryffindor House and gives them detention. Everybody in school is angry at them
(exept the Slytherin students) because they all wanted one of the three other
houses to win the House Cup, and Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville has lost
Gryffindor a great deal of points at one time. About a week before exams, Harry
overhears Quirrell and Snape talking, and they suspect that Snape now knows how
to get by all the obstacles that are protecting the Sorcerer's Stone. The next
morning they are told that their detention will be at eleven o'clock at night.
Harry, Neville, Hermione and also Malfoy who got detention earlier have to go
with Hagrid and Fang into the forbidden forest. They start following a trail of
silver Unicorn blood. A unicorn has been hurt badly, the second time in one week
since Hagrid found one dead last wednesday. Draco and Neville go with Fang,
while Harry and Hermione go with Hagrid. Harry wonders if a werewolf could be
killing unicorns but Hagrid says they're not fast enough. They encounter Ronan
and Bane, centaurs. They do not respond to Hagrid's inquiry of the wounded
unicorn They see red sparks in the sky, meaning the others are in trouble, and
Hagrid speeds over there while Harry and Hermione wait on the spot. It only was
Malfoy frightening Neville who shot the sparks. Now Harry has to go with Draco
and Fang, while Hermione and Neville go with Hagrid. They find the dead unicorn.
Suddenly, out of the shadows, a hooded figure comes crawling across the ground,
and starts to drink the unicorn's blood. Malfoy screams, the creature comes
quickly toward Harry who is transfixed to the spot. Harry feels a screaming pain
in his forehead, as if his Scar was on fire. After a while he comes to and finds
a centaur standing over him. His name is Firenze. While he takes Harry back to
Hagrid he explains that drinking unicorn blood is a monstrous thing to do. That
from the moment the blood touches the lips of the one who slayed the beast, he
will lead a cursed life. He goes on to tell Harry that only someone who is
desparate and needs the blood to stay alive long enough to drink something else
to keep him alive would do that. Harry understands that it must have been
Voldemort, needing enough time to live to get the Elixer of Life. They go back
to the castle. The final exams of the first year begin. They have been given special new quills for the exam, bewitched with an Anti-Cheating spell. Professor Flitwick has them make a pineapple tapdance across the desk, and Professor McGonagall has them turn a mouse into a snuffbox and Professor Snape has them make a Forgetfulness potion. Their last exam is History of Magic. Hermione complains she needn't have learned about the 1637 Werewolf Code of Conduct or the uprising of Elfric the Eager. Harry is worried about his hurting scar and restless, feeling he forgot something. Suddenly he remembers. he wants to ask Hagrid about the dragon-egg. They hurry over to Hagrid's hut and start questioning him about how, where and from who he got the egg. In the middle of the story Hagrid mentions that he told the stranger, from who he won the egg in a bar, that it's easy to calm Fluffy down by playing music. Hurrying to tell everything to Dumbledore they run into Professor McGonagall who tell's them Dumbledore was called to the Ministry of Magic and left. Harry decides that he has to get to the Stone first. He will go that night. Ron and Hermione tell him they will go with him. They wait until everybody has left the common room. Harry gets the Invisibility Cloak and his flute from his room. When he gets back to the common room, Neville tries to prevent them from going and breaking the school rules which would cost Gryffindor more house points. Hermione freezes him with a full Body-Bind spell ¤ Petrificus Totalus. They go to the forbidden room. The door is already open, meaning that Snape already got past Fluffy. They manage to get past Fluffy, the three-headed dog, playing music on the flute, and enter through the trap door. After a long fall they land on a bed of Devil's Snare, a plant. It is trying to entrap them. Hermione sends a jet of bluebell flames on the plant to make it let go. Next they come to a room with a locked door. Hermione tries an Alohomora charm but it does not work. They see what appears to be birds flying abound them and then realize that what they see are winged keys. Harry manages to catch the correct one and open the door. After the key-room, they need to get through a room with life-sized chess pieces. Here they must play real-time Wizard Chess. Ron has to sacrifice himself as a player in the game to get Harry and Hermione to the other side. Fluffy was Hagrids obstacle, the Devil's Snare was Professor Sprouts, The keys were Professor Flitwicks, the chess Professor McGonagalls, leaving Quirrell's and Snape's obstacles still to be tackled. Quirrell's turns out to have been a Troll blocking the way, but it already had been knocked out. Snape's obstacle to guard the Stone is a set of potions, coming with a riddle to define the working of them. Hermione unravels the logic, giving the potion that allows you to continue to Harry, and taking the potion that allows her to go back. Harry takes the potion and steps through the fire-portal to enter the next room. Chapter 17: The Man with Two Faces
