rdfs:comment
  • Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (or Harry Potter and The Sorceror's Stone in the United States of America and in India) is the first book in the Harry Potter series of novels, and was adapted into a movie and LEGO theme, in 2001. It is also the first story in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. The theme seems to follow closer to the movie rather than the book.
  • Harry Potter, the protagonist and title character, is a young orphaned boy who lives with his extremely conventional Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley and their spoiled son, Dudley. Odd things have always happened around Harry, and this is extremely disturbing to the Dursleys. On the days leading to Harry's 11th birthday, things get even stranger.
  • Warner Bros. bought the film rights to the book in 1999 for a reported £1 million. Production began in the United Kingdom in 2000, with Columbus being chosen to create the film from a short list of directors that included Steven Spielberg and Rob Reiner. J. K. Rowling insisted that the entire cast be British or Irish, in keeping with the cultural integrity of the book and the film. She also approved the screenplay, written by Steve Kloves. The film was shot at Leavesden Film Studios and historic buildings around the U.K.

  • Harry Potter, the protagonist and title character, is a young orphaned boy who lives with his extremely conventional Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley and their spoiled son, Dudley. Odd things have always happened around Harry, and this is extremely disturbing to the Dursleys. On the days leading to Harry's 11th birthday, things get even stranger. Harry begins to get lots of letters from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry, although Harry does not know where the letters come from because his Uncle Vernon rips them in half before Harry has a chance to read them. The letters soon start to appear from unusual places, including the fireplace. The Dursleys take Harry and go to a faraway cabin so no more letters can come into their house. Hagrid, the gigantic groundskeeper at Hogwarts, meets Harry there and informs him that he is a wizard. Mr and Mrs Dursley try in vain to prevent Harry from going to Hogwarts but Hagrid takes the boy away and introduces him to the wizarding world.
