HARRY POTTER E A PEDRA FILOSOFAL

It should just be a story for children and young people. But, all over the world, people of different ages read Harry Potter – a phenomenon in world literature that challenges beliefs and estimates. In the year in which the saga completes 20 years of publication, Rocco presents the seven books in the series in hardcover with new illustrations and in a larger format than the traditional one. All the magic of J.K. Rowling's work, the way fans always dreamed of.
 
Harry Potter is a boy whose parents, wizards, were murdered by a very powerful wizard when he was still a baby. He was then taken to the house of his aunt and uncle who had nothing to do with the supernatural. On the contrary. Until the age of 10, Harry was a kind of cinderella: mistreated by his uncles, inherited old clothes from his chubby cousin, had patched glasses and was treated like a nuisance.
 
On his 11th birthday, however, he seems to slide down a bottomless hole, like that of Alice in Wonderland, which leads him to a magical world. Discover your true story and your destiny: to be a sorcerer's apprentice until the day you have to face the worst force of evil, the man who murdered your parents. The green-eyed, skinny and gangly boy, so used to rejection, also discovers that he is a hero in the universe of wizards, the only person to have survived an attack by that evil wizard and that is the cause of the lightning-shaped mark he carries on his forehead. He's not just any boy, he's not even just any wizard; he is Harry Potter, symbol of power, resistance and a natural leader among the supernatural. The fable, filled with ghosts, talking walls, cauldrons, frogs, unicorns, dragons and giants, is not, however, just a pastime.
 
Harry Potter leads to metaphysical discussions, addresses the eternal confrontation between good and evil, highlights some of society's ills, such as prejudice, class division through money and birth, envy, selfishness, exacerbated competitiveness, the search for the ideal – the need to learn, even if it is by force, that life is made up of defeats and victories and that this is important for the basic training of an adult.
