Harry Potter learns that he is a wizard, and that he is famous in the secret wizarding world. He is to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he will learn, like his parents before him, to control his magic.

However, it seems that the villain he became famous for defeating as a baby may not be entirely gone, and not everyone has Harry's best interests at heart. With the aid of his new friends, Harry must manage both school life and fantastic heroics, if he is going to make it as a wizard.
