Resumo de Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone [part B]

The stone was created by Nicolas Flamel. Harry, Ron, and Hermione 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 is 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 Harry makes it to a chamber. There he finds that Professor Quirrell, a stuttering and seemingly meek person, not Snape, is attempting 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, Dumbledore reveals to him that Harry's mother died to protect Harry. Her sacrifice of pure love provided Harry an ancient magical protection from Voldemort's destructive spells. Dumbledore also reveals that the Stone will be destroyed to prevent future attempts by Voldemort to steal it. Dumbledore says that Flamel has enough elixir to set his affairs in order, but he will die.At the end of the year, Harry leaves Hogwarts having made close friendships 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 knowing there are people who care for him. Missing text As with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the American version of the book has retained text edited out of the British version. According to the author's website:<1> Anybody who has read both the American and British versions of 'Philosopher's Stone' will notice that Dean Thomas's appearance is not mentioned in the British book, whereas in the American one there is a line describing him (in the chapter 'The Sorting Hat'). This was an editorial cut in the British version; my editor thought that chapter was too long and pruned everything that he thought was surplus to requirements. The missing text follows, highlighted in bold:And now there were only three people left to be sorted. "Thomas, Dean," a black boy even taller than Ron, joined Harry at the Gryffindor table. "Turpin, Lisa," became a Ravenclaw and then it was Ron's turn. (US Edition p. 122)This edit also created a minor incongruency in the American edition. Since Dean Thomas's mention had been edited out of the British edition, it is mentioned that "there were only three people left to be sorted". However, in the American edition, Dean Thomas, Lisa Turpin, Ron Weasley and Blaise Zabini were all sorted after this statement was made. NotesHarry complains about his babysitter's house smelling like cabbages, he later complains that Diagon Alley smells like cabbage as well. It would later be found out in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that his babysitter is a Squibb, a person from a magical family who does not have magic gifts. This book contains much foreshadowing, and references to characters, which don't pay off until much later in the series. Examples include: -McGonogall mentions Deadalus Diggle being among those who celebrate Voldemort's downfall, and Diggle himself later introduces himself to Harry. He reappears years later as a member of the Order of the Phoenix. -Ron's rat, Scabbers, is later revealed to be Peter Pettigrew, AKA Womrtail. -Hagrid's flying motorcycle is borrowed from Sirius Black, who becomes a major character in later books. His aid in hiding Harry is an early hint that he is not the villain that many believe him to be. -One of Snape's first lessons involves a bezoar. In Harry Potter and Harry uses a bezoar in his Potions class, using notes written in the Prince's book. -Olivander informs Harry that his wand is "brother" to Lord Voldemort's wand, since both feathers came from the same Phoenix. Olivander later reappears in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The connection between the two wands causes the "Priori Incantatem" effect seen in that book's climaxWhile home with Dursleys for the summer, Harry is visited by Dobby, a house elf, who warns him he will be in mortal danger if he returns to Hogwarts. Harry is determined to return, despite Dobby's attempts to stop him. The Dursleys have locked away Harry?s books and wand, making him a prisoner, but the Weasley brothers (Fred, George and Ron) rescue him in their dad's flying car. After a pleasant summer together, everyone heads to platform 9¾ to take the Hogwarts Express back to school. But Harry and Ron are unable to enter through the magical barrier between platforms 9 and 10. In desperation, they fly to Hogwarts in the car, crashing into the Whomping Willow, damaging Ron's wand. The semi-sentient car ejects them and their belongings and disappears into the Forbidden Forest.
