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!
Having
now become classics of our time, the Harry Potter ebooks never fail to
bring comfort and escapism to readers of all ages. With its message of
hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of
the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new readers.
