Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone

The book I read was called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone. The author of this book was a woman by the name of J.K. Rowling. This book has two settings, in the beginning, when Harry is living with his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia; he is at # 4 privet drive.

After they had left the train they got sorted into Griffindor. They were simply heading for there next class on day when the staircase moved to the forbidden floor.
