Harry Potter

Young Harry Potter has to lead a hard life: His parents have died in a car crash when he was still a baby and he is being brought up by his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. For some reason unbeknownst to the bespectacled ten-year-old the Dursleys let him live in the small chamber under the stairs and treat him more like vermin than like a family member. His fat cousin Dudley the Dursley's real son keeps bothering Harry all the time. On his eleventh birthday Harry Potter finally receives a mysterious letter from a certain Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry telling him that he is chosen as one of the future students of that supposedly renowned school. Hagrid the gigantic man who brought the letter finally introduces Harry into the real circumstances of his life: His parents were a wizard and a witch they were killed by the evil wizard Voldemort protecting him. Harry still has a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead from that event. Since he survived the attack as a baby and also somehow deprived Voldemort from his powers he has been famous in the wizarding world ever since. The Dursleys strong disbelievers in that magical crap never told Harry anything about his true self. So Harry is strongly surprised yet absolutely happy to start his training. At Hogwarts Harry meets his teachers and becomes friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The three of them accidentally find out that the potions master Severus Snape seems to plot on stealing something that is guarded by a three-headed dog. Since nobody would believe some first years to have found out such important things that even would incriminate a Hogwarts teacher they take it on themselves to find out what Snape is up to. Their quest for the truth leads across many obstacles from keeping up the everyday school life a bewitched Quidditch match (Quidditch is a popular wizard sport) Fluffy the three-headed monster dog and quite some tasks one has to overcome to get to the guarded object.
