Short intro to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (US title: SorcererĀ“s) Stone
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 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.
For it's there that he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.

I haven't read any of the books, but seen the first 4 films. From the little I can remember, the first one stuck in my mind to be the best one, simply because it was all still new and fresh and wonderfully magically. I especially remember the beginning, when 11-year old Harry was trying to find the right platform (9 3/4) from which the train to Hogwarts was leaving.
