J. K. Rowling, autrice della saga, legge Harry Potter e la pietra filosofale durante l'Easter Egg Roll del 2010. La saga si concentra nel tratteggiare l'evoluzione psicologica dei personaggi e le loro reazioni emotive agli eventi che capitano loro.
L'autrice J. K. Rowling ebbe l'idea della storia di Harry Potter nel 1990, nel periodo in cui si doveva trasferire a Manchester col suo fidanzato, durante un viaggio in treno. Iniziò a scrivere quella sera, anche se ammette che le prime pagine non avevano niente a che fare con l'opera finale. [1]
