Answer 1

The book was titled "Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone" but in USA it was named "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"
See http://encyclopedia.wowla.com/?title=Harry_Potter_and_the_Philosophers_Stone#Plot_overview for summary

For your reference, here is a short summary of the book from that site:

At the start of the story, on November 1, 1981, a wizard and a witch, Professor Albus Dumbledore and Professor Minerva McGonagall meet at Number Four Privet Drive in Little Whinging, a suburb of 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 had somehow survived the encounter, with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead, the only apparent side-effect of Voldemort’s attack. Harry will be a legend amongst the magical people, “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 half-giant Rubeus Hagrid, groundskeeper of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and close friend of Dumbledore. Harry is put in the reluctant care of his Muggle (non-magical) relatives, his mother's 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 tell him instead that his parents were killed in a car crash. The Dursleys 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 public house 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 a core 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.

On the train to school, Harry befriends Ron Weasley, a poor boy from a loving family who is impressed by Harry’s scar but not intimidated by his reputation, and meets Hermione Granger, a bit of an irritating 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, 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 wisdom; Gryffindor houses the bravest; and Hufflepuff is characterized by fairness, honesty and hard-work. When Harry is called up to be sorted, everyone cranes 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, the hat mentions to Harry the advantages of being in Slytherin. Since the hat finds Harry determined against this, it sorts him into Gryffindor. Ron is also sorted into Gryffindor, as well as Hermione, surprisingly. Harry’s biggest rival is Draco Malfoy, an arrogant and rude Slytherin student.

During the year, Harry learns more about the world of witches and wizards. After performing extraordinarily well during his first broomstick flying lesson, Harry is drafted for his house’s Quidditch team, a sport unique to the wizarding world, but internationally popular, and becomes the youngest Quidditch player in a hundred years. At Christmas, Harry is given a mysterious Christmas present of an Invisibility Cloak, which once belonged to his father, and which he uses to move unseen around the castle. He discovers the Mirror of Erised, which allows him to see images of his parents. He is advised by Dumbledore to stop seeking out the mirror, which will be moved, because of its addictive nature.

Harry, Ron and Hermione discover that a three-headed dog, christened Fluffy by Hagrid, guards a trapdoor in a forbidden corridor of Hogwarts. They speculate as to what it guards, deciding that Fluffy must be guarding the legendary Philosopher's Stone, which can produce an elixir of eternal life. This stone was created and owned by Nicolas Flamel. The three friends come to believe that Severus Snape, the sinister Potions master and head of Slytherin house, is trying to steal it in order to restore Lord Voldemort to power.

Believing the theft of the Stone to be imminent, Harry, Ron and Hermione go through the trapdoor to get to it first. They negotiate the security system set up by the school's staff and find that Professor Quirrell, a stuttering and rather meek person, not Snape, is trying to steal the Stone, and realise Snape was trying to protect Harry from harm all along. Harry confronts Quirrell and survives a second encounter with Lord Voldemort, who has been possessing Quirrell (notably appearing as a ghastly face on the back of Quirrell’s head). Quirrell is fatally injured in the confrontation, his skin burned and blistered by Harry’s touch, who finally faints. Voldemort’s spirit then abandons its broken host, leaving Quirrell to die. During Harry’s recovery after the encounter, Dumbledore reveals that Harry’s mother stood up to Voldemort to protect Harry. This sacrifice of pure love gave Harry ancient magical protection from Voldemort’s destructive spells. Dumbledore also reveals that, though Harry found the Stone, it will be destroyed to prevent future attempts by Voldemort to steal it. Dumbledore mentioned that Flamel had enough elixir to set his affairs in order, but noted that he would die. (Nicolas Flamel has not been heard from since in the series, and J.K. Rowling has stated that Flamel is now deceased .)

Harry leaves Hogwarts having made close friends with Ron, Hermione and even Hagrid, as well as learning more about his own hidden talents and growing in self-esteem. He returns to the Dursleys with the knowledge that he does have people that love him, and a place he can now call “home.”:

Answer 2

Okay, you need to read the books in question. Harry Potter and the Sorcers' Stone is a short book and doesn't take long to read. If you don't want to read go to your local library and borrow the books you need to read on tape and then write your paper. This is not a hard thing to do.

Answer 3

The first harry potter is just over 300 pages total.

Answer 4

Have you ever learn any of them? The quality method to write a abstract is to learn them, then instantly after (or a whilst after, relying on how good you do not forget written phrases), set the ebook down and write what you do not forget. Basically simply supply the "jist" of it. I detect that it does not aid your web standards, however truthfully, you will have to learn the books and do it your self. Anything else is simply dishonest, to not point out unlawful.
