This is Harry's first year at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft,
having discovered on the occasion of his 11th Birthday that he is not just
a 'normal' boy, orphaned and then raised by his Aunt Petunia and
Uncle Vernon Dursley, but in fact the son of Wizards Lily and James Potter.
Harry is a first year Gryffindor student and to his surprise famous throughout
the school for events that took place when he was just a baby. He is also the
youngest Seeker ever on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
