A young boy finds his purpose and begins to realize the value of standing for good and against evil in the first book of the Harry Potter series.

Overview


In this opening volume of the Harry Potter series, J. K. Rowling introduces readers and her hero to the world of wizards, Muggles, Hogwarts, Quidditch, and Dumbledore. Often humorous and touching, the book follows Harry Potter as he discovers that he s a wizard, attends a wizarding school, and starts to understand his role in the ultimate fight of good versus evil.


Does each of us have a purpose? Does God give each of us gifts? How are Christians to interact with the defenseless? How can we work for justice for the poor and the oppressed? What kinds of good things can become idols in a Christian s life? How can we avoid letting our desires become idols? What does the sacrificial love of Christ give to us? How can we express that to our communities?
