Strange things always seem to happen when Harry Potter is around. Things that unsettle his guardians, the Dursleys. They strongly disapprove of strangeness.

But when Harry hears of a stone with great powers, he finds that his school has its own dark secrets -- and an adventure that will become the stuff of legend begins ... --back cover
