SUMMARY
Young Harry Potter has always lived miserably in a cupboard under the stairs, with his only
family, The Dursleys. He is used to being completely ignored, criticized, and pretending
he doesn't exist.
Then strange things start to happen (or have they been happening the whole time?). He
receives a strange letter...by owl. The Dursleys let Harry no where near the letter.
Finally, a giant named Hagrid comes and tells Harry something he didn't expect... he's
a wizard!
