Lord Voldemort, an evil and powerful dark wizard, has just been defeated.The synopsis below may give away important plot points. Their quest for the truth leads across many obstacles, from keeping up the everyday school life, a bewitched Quidditch match (Quidditch is a popular wizard sport), Fluffy, the three-headed monster dog, and quite some tasks one has to overcome to get to the guarded object. Since nobody would believe some first years to have found out such important things that even would incriminate a Hogwarts teacher, they take it on themselves to find out what Snape is up to. The three of them accidentally find out that the potions master, Severus Snape (Alan Rickman), seems to plot on stealing something that is guarded by a three-headed dog. At Hogwarts, Harry meets his teachers, and becomes friends with Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). So, Harry is strongly surprised, yet absolutely happy to start his training. The Dursleys, strong disbelievers in that magical crap, never told Harry anything about his true self. Since he survived the attack as a baby, and also somehow deprived Voldemort from his powers, he has been famous in the wizarding world ever since. Harry still has a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead from that event. Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), the gigantic man who brought the letter, finally introduces Harry into the real circumstances of his life: His parents were a wizard and a witch, they were killed by the evil wizard Voldemort (Richard Bremmer) protecting him. On his eleventh birthday, Harry Potter finally receives a mysterious letter from a certain Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, telling him that he is chosen as one of the future students of that supposedly renowned school. His fat cousin Dudley Harry Melling), the Dursley's real son, keeps bothering Harry all the time. For some reason unbeknownst to the bespectacled ten-year-old, the Dursleys let him live in the small chamber under the stairs, and treat him more like vermin than like a family member.

Young Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) has to lead a hard life: His parents have died in a car crash when he was still a baby, and he is being brought up by his Uncle Vernon (Richard Griffiths) and Aunt Petunia (Fiona Shaw). As a result, in the school he met two friends, one friend is smart the other one is kind. Therefore he became happy to start a new life and ready to adjust to his new school. In between, a mysterious giant came and gave him a letter telling that he was one of the chosen ones to the school. Since then, he became a famous person in his new school. Then he realized that he was lucky to survive. But on his eleventh birthday, he finally discovered who he really is and he learns that his mum and dad were wizards and witches. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) thinks that he is an ordinary boy. In his first year of magical education, Harry tackles a fully grown mountain troll, learns to play Quidditch, and participates in a thrilling 'live' game of chess. Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), a beetle-eyed giant, tells Harry that he is a wizard and has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

That also answers the question of how James Patterson, the best-selling author of Alex Cross novels, wrote 16 books in a year.On his eleventh birthday, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) discovers that he is no ordinary boy. Even in co-written books, using these techniques itвЂ™s possible to discern which author actually wrote the book. As BlattвЂ™s analysis shows, while Rowling wrote an entirely different class of books-detective novels-as Robert Galbraith, she wasnвЂ™t able to hide her style. He tests this hypothesis by analysing word frequencies in the works of authors who wrote under pseudonyms. It is not just adverbs, writers tend to have favourite words and stylistic flourishes which make their writing as unique as fingerprints, Blatt argues in one of the most fascinating chapters of the book. An author writing with the clarity needed to describe vivid scenes and actions without adverbs, taking the time to whittle away the unnecessary words, might also be spending more time and effort making the rest of the text as perfect as possible,' writes Blatt. But what this analysis tells us is that вЂњadverbs are an indicator of a writerвЂ™s focus. To be sure, adverbs by themselves arenвЂ™t a litmus test of writing quality Vladimir Nabokov is a counter-example.
