But fortunately for Harry, he's about to be granted a scholarship to a unique boarding school called THE HOGWORTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY, where he will become a school hero at the game of Quidditch (a kind of aerial soccer played high above the ground on broomsticks), he will make some wonderful friends, and, unfortunately, a few terrible enemies. For although he seems to be getting your run-of-the-mill boarding school experience (well, ok, even that's pretty darn out of the ordinary), Harry Potter has a destiny that he was born to fulfill. A destiny that others would kill to keep him from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary GrandPré\u003c\/b\u003e has illustrated more than twenty beautiful books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Noisy Paint Box\u003c\/i\u003e by Barb Rosenstock, which received a Caldecott Honor; \u003ci\u003eCleonardo, the Little Inventor\u003c\/i\u003e, of which she is also the author; and the original American editions of all seven Harry Potter novels.
