Kurzbeschreibung
Es war einmal ein kleiner Junge namens Harry Potter. Er war Vollwaise und wuchs bei Onkel und Tante auf, die ihn völlig lieblos großzogen. Eines Tages erfuhr der kleine Junge, dass er aus einer Familie von Zauberern abstammte und er die Zauberkräfte seiner Eltern geerbt hatte. Daraufhin kam er an eine Zaubererschule, an der er Magie studieren sollte.Sie meinen, das wäre trocken, langweilig und alles schon mal dagewesen? Weit gefehlt! Die Abenteuer, die eben dieser kleine Junge in der Zauberschule Hogwarts erlebt, an der es von Trollen, Geistern und bösen Magiern nur so wimmelt, sind ein unvergleichlich fesselndes Lesevergnügen, von dem man einfach nicht genug bekommen kann.
