Harry Potter is the protagonist of the novel. He has gradually grown from a shy and cowardly child to a great hero. Harry Potter was orphaned in infancy, and was brought up by his menstruating uncle, the Dursleys, who tortured him and his spoiled son, Dudley.
Being discriminated against since childhood, Harry grew up to be a shy child and lacked self-confidence. He fled from the Muggle world (reality) to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (fantasy), where he eventually became a wizard. This sudden honor is not only in sharp contrast with his childhood misfortune, but also a compensation for his childhood misfortune.
But Harry never lost the virtue of modesty. Even when he got the philosopher's stone and saved the world from Voldemort, he didn't feel complacent about his victory and expected any praise. He only cares about how to keep the philosopher's stone and its magic from falling into the wrong hands. Such a simple desire finally made him a hero.
Harry's growth shows the challenges and dangers encountered in human growth, symbolizing the hardships that every child must go through in the process of growing up: growing up, winning the respect of his peers, learning loyalty, understanding the difference between forgivable mistakes and unforgivable sins, and believing in something greater than himself. He is the representative of all children who are eager to enter the adult world successfully.

The creative background of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone;
/kloc-in the summer of 0/990, the story of Harry Potter took shape. At that time, Rowling's boyfriend was moving to Manchester and asked her to go with him. The train back to London is very slow. At that time, Rowling was sitting idly, looking out of the window bored, and her thoughts were wandering wildly.
In the process, a little wizard with black hair and sparse hair and glasses has been smiling at her outside the window. This image suddenly broke into her mind and gave her the idea of writing Harry Potter.
Shortly after returning to England from Portugal, Rowling went to Edinburgh. First, Edinburgh was cheap. Second, she lived there after she married her brother and sister Diane. She wants to find a regular job there to rest her tired body and mind and finish the first draft of Harry Potter.
Her brother-in-law runs a local coffee shop. Every day Rowling would quietly order a cup of coffee there and start writing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
This book was originally named Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The American publisher of the book was worried that the word philosopher would scare away young readers, so it was renamed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
