Harry Potter has never been the star of a Quidditch team. scoring points while riding a broom far above the ground. He knows no spells. has never helped to hatch a dragon. and has never worn a cloak of invisibility. All he knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys. his horrible aunt and uncle. and their abominable son. Dudley--a great big swollen spoiled bully. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs. and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years. But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place that Harry--and anyone who reads about him---will find unforgettable
