Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal es el primer volumen de la ya clásica serie de novelas fantásticas de la autora británica J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter se ha quedado huerfano y vive en casa de sus abominables tios y del insoportable primo Dudley.

En ella le comunican que ha sido aceptado como alumno en el colegio interno Hogwarts de magia y hechiceria. A partir de ese momento, la suerte de Harry da un vuelco espectacular.
