Role and performance of Harry Potter in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Harry Potter is an orphan whom Rowling imagined as a "scrawny, black-haired, green


eyed and bespectacled boy who didn't know he was a wizard." [3] She developed the
series' story and characters to explain how Harry came to be in this situation and how
his life unfolded from there.[4]

Apart from the first chapter, the events of this book take place just before and in the
year following Harry's eleventh birthday. Voldemort's attack left a lightning bolt-shaped
scar on Harry's forehead,[4] which produces stabbing pains whenever Voldemort is
present. Harry has a natural talent for Quidditch and became the first person in a
century to get on their team in their first year.
Harry Potter lives with his abusive uncle and aunt, Vernon and Petunia Dursley, and their
bullying, spoiled son, Dudley. On Harry's 11th birthday, he learns that he is a wizard. A
man named Rubeus Hagrid tells him that he can attend Hogwarts, a school of magic.
Hagrid explains that when Harry was an infant, a Dark wizard
named Voldemort murdered his parents and tried to kill him as well. However,
Voldemort's killing curse rebounded and seemingly destroyed him, leaving a lightning
bolt-shaped scar on Harry's forehead. Unbeknownst to Harry, this event made him
famous among wizards.

Harry awakens in the school's infirmary. Dumbledore explains that Harry survived
because he is protected by a magical charm created when his mother died trying to
protect him. Quirrell's hatred and greed caused him to burn upon contact with Harry,
and Voldemort abandoned him to die. Dumbledore also reveals that the Stone has been
destroyed. During the school's year-end feast, Gryffindor is awarded the House Cup.
Harry then returns to the home of the Dursleys for the summer.
