Plot
Young Harry Potter has to lead a hard life: His parents have died in a car crash when he was still a baby, and he is being brought up by his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. For some reason unbeknownst to the bespectacled ten-year-old, the Dursleys let him live in the small chamber under the stairs, and treat him more like vermin than like a family member. His fat cousin Dudley, the Dursley's real son, keeps bothering Harry all the time. On his eleventh birthday, Harry Potter finally receives a mysterious letter from a certain Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, telling him that he is chosen as one of the future students of that supposedly renowned school. Hagrid, the gigantic man who brought the letter, finally introduces Harry into the real circumstances of his life: His parents were a wizard and a witch, they were killed by the evil wizard Voldemort protecting him. Harry still has a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead from that event. Since he survived the attack as a baby, and also somehow deprived Voldemort from his powers, he has been famous in the wizarding world ever since. The Dursleys, strong disbelievers in that magical crap, never told Harry anything about his true self. So, Harry is strongly surprised, yet absolutely happy to start his training. At Hogwarts, Harry meets his teachers, and becomes friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The three of them accidentally find out that the potions master, Severus Snape, seems to plot on stealing something that is guarded by a three-headed dog. Since nobody would believe some first years to have found out such important things that even would incriminate a Hogwarts teacher, they take it on themselves to find out what Snape is up to. Their quest for the truth leads across many obstacles, from keeping up the everyday school life, a bewitched Quidditch match (Quidditch is a popular wizard sport), Fluffy, the three-headed monster dog and quite some tasks one has to overcome to get to the guarded object.

Kdo by dnes už alespoň nezaslechl jméno Harryho Pottera, čarodejnického učně, jehož neskutečná popularita mezi dětmi během krátké doby zasáhla i dospělé. Filmovou verzi jeho prvního příběhu zrežíroval Chris Columbus ve spolupráci s autorkou "potterovských" románů J. K. Rowlingovou a pod přísným a podnětným dohledem své dcery Eleanor přenesl na filmové plátno svět Školy čar a kouzel v Bradavicích v plném lesku a hávu hodném největšího kouzelníka na světě.

Celý příběh Kamene Mudrců se točí kolem sirotka Harryho Pottera. Tomu krátce po narození zahynou za neobvyklých událostí oba rodiče, a Harry proto musí vyrůstat v rodině strýce Vernona a tety Petunie, kteří mu neustále dávají najevo, že místo kde bydlí, není domov. O to větší překvapení ho čeká, když mu v den jeho jedenáctých narozenin přijde dopis, který je předzvěstí změny v jeho dosavadním životě. Od nynějška není obyčejným chlapcem, i když na to stále vypadá, ale stává se studentem Školy čar a kouzel v Bradavicích. Ani tento nový život však nebude procházka růžovou zahradou, obzvlášť když se začne probouzet Harryho záhadná minulost a její temný hrdina, Lord Voldemort...
