Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

_"Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal
bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a
large letter 'H'."_

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping
on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on
yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his
grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed
giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news:
Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
