Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

J.K. Rowling, Bloomsbury, 1997

Description

The first novel in the Harry Potter series and the primary text in which Quidditch is introduced. Harry's discovery of his talent as a Seeker is the narrative moment at which the game's alchemical significance begins to unfold — the instinctive pursuit of the Golden Snitch as the philosopher's instinctive pursuit of the Stone.
