Hagrid gives Harry the first birthday present he’s ever received: Hedwig, a snow-white owl who can carry mail for him. Both Harry and Voldemort’s wands have cores made from twin feathers from the same phoenix. While they’re at the bank, Hagrid runs a mysterious errand for Dumbledore, picking up a parcel that turns out to be the titular Sorcerer’s Stone. He takes Harry to Diagon Alley, where the young boy discovers that his parents left him a sizable fortune at Gringotts Bank. Hagrid is Harry-and the reader’s-introduction to the wizarding world. Left with a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead, Harry Potter becomes known as the Boy-Who-Lived throughout the wizarding world. No one quite knows how, but baby Harry survives Voldemort’s attack and causes the dark wizard’s magic to break. Harry remembers only a flash of green light and an evil laugh from the night in question. When Harry was a baby, an evil wizard named Voldemort murdered his parents and tried to kill him as well. Despite the Dursleys’ best attempts to stamp the magic out of Harry and keep him in the dark, James and Lily Potter were two of the brightest wizards of their age. Hagrid also gives him a birthday cake and tells him about his magical history. A giant man named Rubeus Hagrid crashes through the door and delivers Harry’s acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, on the night of his eleventh birthday, Harry learns that he is a wizard. Harry has been told his entire life that his parents were killed in a car crash.

He lives with his abusive aunt and uncle on Privet Drive in Surrey, England.

The main protagonist of the novel is an 11-year-old orphan, Harry Potter.
