summary Potter book 1 Sorceror=Philosopher’s Stone

fixing William Silvester's bad Chapter Synopses, July 10, 2011, by me 2021

__Chapter 1, The Boy Who Lived; Vernon Dursley and his blond haired wife Petunia have a blond son named Dudley. [x peculiar happenings, too vague] Vernon saw a cat reading a map. Dumbledore told Professor McGonagall that voldemort is gone. a flying bike, which Hagrid rode delivered Harry Potter to the Dursley's door because petunia and his dead ma [not pa] were siblings. note: was uncle vernon on father's side or mother? neither only by marriage. 

Chapter 2  The Vanishing Glass; Harry has often fled from his violent cousin Dudley, the bully who punched him and other students. Harry went with Dudley to the zoo where dudley punched harry so hard that harry fell. unexplicably, the glass of the boa cage "vanished" so Dudley was scared as the boa escaped. note: in video differs: dudley pushed harry as he left the cupboard under the stairs, but in book harry is already doing chores when dudley came to the kitchen. in video, when glass vanished, dudley toppled forward and splashed into the boa's water but in book he jumped back. 

+fan fiction: the glass temporarily vaporized so dudley who was leaning on the glass toppled in and splashed as the boa escaped. after the boa was free, it rematerialized so the boa had swapped places with Dudley. he was trapped by the glass and banged until the zoo crew unlocked a door. the staff banned the dursleys from coming to zoo due to their crazy kid who somehow got in the boa cage. lesson: magic is possible without a wand.

Chapter 3  The Letters From No One; harry got a letter in the mail=post but dudley stole it and Uncle Vernon destroyd it. more envelopes came, despite Vernon's efforts so he drove the family to a hotel. even there a letter came so they go to the sea to sleep in "the house on the rock" on a tiny island.

Chapter 4  The Keeper of the Keys; Hagrid came and told Harry "you are" [x that he=which?] a wizard.

Chapter 6  The Journey From Platform 9 3/4; Uncle Vernon drove Harry to 

the train Station and left him on platform nine. the Weasleys explain how to go to the secret Platform 9 3/4 [+meaning closer to ten coulda wrote 2/3 but that truly is a different train route maybe not express but with more stops to hogwarts school]. he and ron become friends and they met Hermione. harry went in a boat to the castle with other first years. +kuz no brooms like the older kids on train. harry used train in year 3, kuz train not only for first years. he probably flew on broom from the station to the school castle.

Chapter 7  The Sorting Hat; Professor McGonagall tells the first-years that the school has four competing houses. a magical wizard's pointy hat sorted the first years so Harry hermione and ron are in the same house. a generous meal materializes. ron's brother led harry and his house mates to [x find] the tower dorm.

Harry and his friends evade Filch and saw Fluffy, the three-headed dog.

Chapter 10  Hallowe’en; Harry received a broom, learnd the rules of Quidditch and practiced. before [not On] Hallowe’en, in Charms class, Hermione is first to succeed at levitation. at Hallowe’en feast, a girl told harry that hermione was crying in girls’ bathroom, suddenly quirrel reported a troll. the students evacuate but harry and ron go to warn herm'. she gets trapped there with the same troll. Harry jumped on the troll. ron did leviosa to troll club which jumpd and fell knocking troll unconcious. [censor friendship founded on a lie !] fanfiction alternate ending: as above herm' succeeded at levitation so she alone did leviosa to troll club. she appreciated that they came to warn her and become friends. ron's success is later.

Chapter 11  Quidditch; Harry saw Snape’s injured leg. Harry’s first Quidditch match was against Slytherin. someone jinxes his broom until hermione helpd. fan fiction NOW ron did leviosa. as harry fell ron did leviosa to a different broom toward harry saving harry. harry swallowed the Snitch.

Chapter 12  The Mirror of Erised; Harry, Hermione n Ron started researching Flamel. the school emptied for Christmas, Ron showed Harry wizard chess, Harry gets a Christmas gift, his father’s invisibility cloak from "no one", he wore it and found the Mirror of Erised, which showed his parents.

Chapter 13  Nicolas Flamel; Harry learns about Flamel, Gryffindor "wins over Hufflepuff" when Harry grabs the snitch. Harry followed Snape into the Forbidden Forest where he heard snape and Quirrell speaking of the Philosopher’s Stone.

Chapter 17  The Man With Two Faces; Harry discoverd Quirrell [not Snape] is trying to get the Stone.  the Mirror of Erised gave the Stone to Harry. Voldemort ordered Quirrell to kill Harry, and they struggle in suspense for the stone.... harry awoke in a hospital bed. At the end of year banquet these successes related to the stone earn Gryffindor the House Cup.

+fan fiction: before harry got the stone, v' orderd q' to "kill harry." q' sent a girl not named gabby, to call harry to his office. on the way as harry went alone in a corridor q' grabbed his arm and pulled him into a chamber. q' demands he tell him about the sorcerors stone but harry did not know. harry turned to run but q' waved his arm generating a sheet of flame blocking harry's escape from the room. as q' was strangling harry to death, as v' had ordered, harry pushed on q's arm causing a burn. q' escaped and harry did NOT kill quirrel. the only crumbling was when hagrid disarmed vernon on the island.

now at the conclusion:

instead of chapter 17 contents, harry SURPRISED q' and quickly petrified q' using the same spell that he heard from hermione when she already stoned nevil. same as nevil, q' fell... ergo his turban fell revealing voldemort who was attached and got petrified together, thanks to harry.

then harry saw his parents again until dumbledore "apparated" appeared by the mirror. d' praised harry for stopping q' and told harry to remove the stone.  "the Mirror of Erised gave" the red Stone to Harry. iinstead of prison where v' might escape, d' trapped q' with his rider v' in the mirror, ending the threat from v'. d' invited harry to help him destroy HORCRUXES. harry went to visit ron in the hospital wing. d' did not reward gryffindor so slytherin won the house cup. however he did praise the trio for stopping quirrel.

when harry arrived in london, uncle vernon drove harry to a church where he learned that the bible forbids wizardry. by phone he told hermione  about this so they argued. harry insisted he will not return to hogwarts but hermione claims they are free from the old testament rules same as the holidays in leviticus. when harry agreed not to return to hogwarts the vernons explain they were only vicious for fear he would be like petunia's sister but now they will send him to any school he wants and treat him equal to dudley with no favoritism.+endnote: who will save ginny from the special book diary? hermione not harry as i published elsewhere.

END book one. the adventure will continue in chamber secrets with more danger and adventure except harry's story ended. "hermione and ginny in chamber of secrets," kuz harry decided to be catholic and stop sinning as a wizard and obey the christian witch hunt idea that wizard is a sin, except he knows that a muggle cannot kill a real witch and any success would be the murder of an innocent non-witch.
