Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling is a magical story that connects into reality just enough to make the reader question whether what they’re reading is just a story. It tells the tale of a young boy, Harry Potter, who lives with his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley. He’s never known his parents as they died in a car crash when he was just a baby, and his aunt and uncle refuse to tell him any details about them.
