At the beginning of the story, on 1 November 1981, a wizard and a witch, Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall meet at number four, Privet Drive, Little Whinging, in suburban Surrey, and discuss recent events in the wizarding world. Lord Voldemort, the most powerful and fearsome Dark wizard ever known, has finally been defeated. Unfortunately, he seems to have taken two last victims with him: Lily and James Potter. Their infant son, Harry has somehow survived the encounter, with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead as the only apparent side-effect of Voldemort's attack. Harry will be a legend amongst the magical people, becoming known as "the Boy who Lived", and Dumbledore believes it best he is raised away from all the undesirable fame and attention his circumstances would bring.
Harry is brought to the two professors by Rubeus Hagrid, gamekeeper of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and close friend of Dumbledore. Harry is put in the reluctant care of his only living relatives, his mother's Muggle (non-magical) sister Petunia Dursley, her husband Vernon and their spoiled son Dudley. The Dursleys intensely dislike magic and conceal from Harry any knowledge of his magical abilities and the wizarding world, telling him instead that his parents were killed in a car crash. The Dursleys neglect and mistreat Harry, whose bedroom is a cupboard under the stairs, filled with spiders.
A week before his eleventh birthday, Harry begins receiving letters delivered by owls offering him a place at Hogwarts to learn magic. The Dursleys try to intercept the letters and take Harry away to a small island to escape them, but Hagrid tracks the family down. He tells Harry the truth about his parents and introduces him to the magical world. At The Leaky Cauldron pub they meet a new Hogwarts professor (Prof. Quirrell) and from there they enter Diagon Alley, where Harry purchases the supplies he will need for school. Harry also learns of Lord Voldemort and his murder of Harry's parents, as well as Voldemort's lingering reputation despite being inactive (even a large and strong individual like Hagrid refuses to speak his name). Another interesting connection between Harry and Voldemort is that their wands share the same core – a feather from the same phoenix's tail. Hagrid returns Harry to the Dursleys with a ticket for the school train to Hogwarts, from Platform 9¾ at King's Cross railway station, London.

Wikibooks Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter has a page on the topic of
Philosopher's Stone
On the train to school, Harry becomes fast friends with Ron Weasley, a poor boy from a large, loving family who is impressed by Harry's scar but not intimidated by his reputation, and meets Hermione Granger, a bit of an annoying know-it-all. Upon arriving at Hogwarts, all new students are sorted into one of the four school houses by trying on an ancient talking hat, The Sorting Hat, which was once the property of one of the school's founders, Godric Gryffindor. Each house has very specific characteristics: Slytherin is filled with ambitious, cunning people who would use any means to get what they want; Ravenclaw is home to those with sharp minds that value intelligence and wit; Gryffindor houses those who are daring and brave at heart; and Hufflepuff is characterised by fairness, honesty and hard work. When Harry is called up to be sorted, everyone whispers and is keen to see the outcome. The hat declares Harry to be difficult to sort. When Harry mentally declares his desire not to be sorted into Slytherin, about which he has heard unpleasant things, the hat mentions to Harry that he would do well in Slytherin. Since the hat finds Harry choosing against this, it sorts him into Gryffindor. Ron is also sorted into Gryffindor, as is Hermione. Harry also meets his biggest rival, Draco Malfoy, an arrogant and rude student who is sorted into Slytherin.
