Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone
J. K. Rowling
Mr. Dursley, a well-off Englishman, notices strange happenings on his way to
work one day. That night, Albus Dumbledore, the head of a wizardry academy called
Hogwarts, meets Professor McGonagall, who also teaches at Hogwarts, and a giant
named Hagrid outside the Dursley home. Dumbledore tells McGonagall that someone
named Voldemort has killed a Mr. and Mrs. Potter and tried unsuccessfully to kill
their baby son, Harry. Dumbledore leaves Harry with an explanatory note in a basket
in front of the Dursley home.
Ten years later, the Dursley household is dominated by the Dursleys‘ son,
Dudley, who torments and bullies Harry. Dudley is spoiled, while Harry is forced to
sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. At the zoo on Dudley‘s birthday, the glass in
front of a boa constrictor exhibit disappears, frightening everyone. Harry is later
punished for this incident.
Mysterious letters begin arriving for Harry. They worry Mr. Dursley, who tries
to keep them from Harry, but the letters keep arriving through every crack in the
house. Finally, he flees with his family to a secluded island shack on the eve of
Harry‘s eleventh birthday. At midnight, they hear a large bang on the door and Hagrid
enters. Hagrid hands Harry an admissions letter to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry. Harry learns that the Dursleys have tried to deny Harry‘s wizardry all
these years.
The next day, Hagrid takes Harry to London to shop for school supplies. First
they go to the wizard bank, Gringotts, where Harry learns that his parents have left
him a hefty supply of money. They shop on the wizards‘ commercial street known as
Diagon Alley, where Harry is fitted for his school uniform. Harry buys books,
ingredients for potions, and, finally, a magic wand—the companion wand to the evil
Voldemort‘s.
A month later, Harry goes to the train station and catches his train to
Hogwarts on track nine and three quarters. On the train, Harry befriends other first-
year students like Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, a Muggle girl chosen to
attend Hogwarts. At school, the first-years take turns putting on the ―Sorting Hat‖
to find out in which residential house they will live. Harry fears being assigned to the
sinister Slytherin house, but he, Ron, and Hermione end up in the noble Gryffindor
house.
As the school year gets underway, Harry discovers that his Potions professor,
Snape, does not like him. Hagrid reassures Harry that Snape has no reason to dislike
him. During their first flying lesson on broomsticks, the students are told to stay
grounded while the teacher takes an injured boy named Neville to the hospital. Draco
Malfoy, a Slytherin bully, snatches Neville‘s prized toy and flies off with it to the top
of a tree. Harry flies after him. Malfoy throws the ball in the air, and Harry speeds
downward, making a spectacular catch. Professor McGonagall witnesses this
incident. Instead of punishing Harry, she recommends that he play Quidditch, a
much-loved game that resembles soccer played on broomsticks, for Gryffindor. Later
that day, Malfoy challenges Harry to a wizard‘s duel at midnight. Malfoy doesn‘t show
up at the appointed place, and Harry almost gets in trouble. While trying to hide, he
accidentally discovers a fierce three-headed dog guarding a trapdoor in the forbidden
third-floor corridor.
On Halloween, a troll is found in the building. The students are all escorted
back to their dormitories, but Harry and Ron sneak off to find Hermione, who is alone
and unaware of the troll. Unwittingly, they lock the troll in the girls‘ bathroom along
with Hermione. Together, they defeat the troll. Hermione tells a lie to protect Harry
and Ron from being punished. During Harry‘s first Quidditch match, his broom jerks
out of control. Hermione notices Snape staring at Harry and muttering a curse. She
concludes that he is jinxing Harry‘s broom, and she sets Snape‘s clothes on fire.
Harry regains control of the broom and makes a spectacular play to win the
Quidditch match.
For Christmas, Harry receives his father‘s invisibility cloak, and he explores
the school, unseen, late at night. He discovers the Mirror of Erised, which displays
the deepest desire of whoever looks in it. Harry looks in it and sees his parents alive.
After Christmas, Harry, Ron, and Hermione begin to unravel the mysterious
connection between a break-in at Gringotts and the three-headed guard dog. They
learn that the dog is guarding the Sorcerer‘s Stone, which is capable of providing
eternal life and unlimited wealth to its owner and belongs to Nicolas Flamel,
Dumbledore‘s old partner.
A few weeks later, Hagrid wins a dragon egg in a poker game. Because it is
illegal to own dragons, Harry, Ron, and Hermione contact Ron‘s older brother, who
studies dragons. They arrange to get rid of the dragon but get caught. Harry, Ron,
and Hermione are severely punished, and Gryffindor is docked 150 points.
Furthermore, part of their punishment is to go into the enchanted forest with Hagrid
to find out who has been killing unicorns recently. In the forest, Harry comes upon
a hooded man drinking unicorn blood. The man tries to attack Harry, but Harry is
rescued by a friendly centaur who tells him that his assailant was Voldemort. Harry
also learns that it is Voldemort who has been trying to steal the Sorcerer‘s Stone.
Harry decides that he must find the stone before Voldemort does. He, Ron,
and Hermione sneak off that night to the forbidden third-floor corridor. They get past
the guard dog and perform many impressive feats as they get closer and closer to the
stone. Harry ultimately finds himself face to face with Quirrell, who announces that
Harry must die. Knowing that Harry desires to find the stone, Quirrell puts Harry in
front of the Mirror of Erised and makes him state what he sees. Harry sees himself
with the stone in his pocket, and at that same moment he actually feels it in his
pocket. But he tells Quirrell that he sees something else. A voice tells Quirrell that
the boy is lying and requests to speak to Harry face to face. Quirrell removes his
turban and reveals Voldemort‘s face on the back of his head. Voldemort, who is
inhabiting Quirrell‘s body, instructs Quirrell to kill Harry, but Quirrell is burned by
contact with the boy. A struggle ensues and Harry passes out. When Harry regains
consciousness, he is in the hospital with Dumbledore. Dumbledore explains that he
saved Harry from Quirrell just in time. He adds that he and Flamel have decided to
destroy the stone. Harry heads down to the end-of-year banquet, where Slytherin is
celebrating its seventh consecutive win of the house championship cup. Dumbledore
gets up and awards many last-minute points to Gryffindor for the feats of Harry and
his friends, winning the house cup for Gryffindor. Harry returns to London to spend
the summer with the Dursleys.

Archetypes in Literature
Function
Definition of Archetype
One of the most common literary archetypes is the Hero. The hero is
generally the protagonist of a narrative showing characteristics such as
courage, perseverance, sacrifice, and rising to challenge. Though heroes may
appear in different literary forms across time and culture,
their characterization tends to be universal thus making them archetypal
characters.
As a rule, there are twelve primary character types that symbolize basic
human motivations and represent literary archetypes. Here is a list of these
literary archetypes and their general descriptions:
• Lover: character guided by emotion and passion of the heart
• Hero: protagonist that rises to a challenge
• Outlaw: character that is rebellious or outside societal conventions or
demands
• Magician: powerful character that understands and uses universal
forces
• Explorer: character that is driven to explore the unknown and beyond
boundaries
• Sage: character with wisdom, knowledge, or mentor qualities
• Creator: visionary character that creates something significant
