內容簡介
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone《哈利波特與魔法石》
一歲的哈利波特失去父母後，神秘地齣現在姨父姨媽傢的門前。哈利在姨父傢飽受欺淩，度過十年極其痛苦的日子。姨父和姨媽好似凶神惡煞，他們那混世魔王兒子達力，一個肥胖、嬌慣、欺負人的大塊頭，更是經常對哈利拳腳相加。哈利的“房間”是位於樓梯口的一個又暗又小的碗櫥。十年來，從來沒有人為他過過生日。
但是在他十一歲生日那天，一切都發生瞭變化，信使貓頭鷹帶來瞭一封神秘的信：邀請哈利去霍格沃茨魔法學校。
在魔法學校，哈利不僅找著瞭朋友，學會瞭空中飛行，騎著一把型號為光輪2000的飛天掃帚打魁地奇球，還得到瞭一件隱形衣。他發現那裏的一切——從上課到吃飯到睡覺都充滿瞭魔力，但是一塊魔石齣現，它與哈利的命運息息相關……
Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That’s because he’s being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he’s really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.

精彩文摘
The Boy Who Lived
Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense.
Mr Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large moustache. Mrs Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbours. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn’t think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs Potter was Mrs Dursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years; in fact, Mrs Dursley pretended she didn’t have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbours would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn’t want Dudley mixing with a child like that.
When Mr and Mrs Dursley woke up on the dull, grey Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be hap?pening all over the country. Mr Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work and Mrs Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair.
None of them noticed a large tawny owl flutter past the window.
