Once they arrive at Hogwarts, the first year students are sorted into one of four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Harry is sorted into Gryffindor, after pleading with the hat not to place him in Slytherin, notorious for being the house of darker witches and wizards. Once sorted, Harry meets Ron Weasly, a poor boy from a large, pure-blood, wizarding family and Hermione Granger, a witch born to non-magical parents.At school, Harry begins his training as a wizard and learns more about his past.

The three face a series of obstacles that protect the stone which includes surviving a deadly plant, catching a flying key, playing a life-sized game of Wizards Chess and choosing the correct potion to get through a magical fire. Harry, now alone, expects to face Snape but instead finds Professor Quirrell, the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Quirrell removes his turban and reveals that Voldemort was living on the back of his head. Harry retrieves the stone and Voldemort tries to get it from him but touching him burns Quirrell's skin. Harry passes out from the struggle of the battle.He awakens in the school's hospital wing with Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, by his side. Dumbledore explains that the stone has been destroyed but it wouldn't stop Voldemort from returning. He reassured Harry that if their battles did no more than slow Voldemort's return then he may never come back.When Harry returned for the end of year feast Gryffindor were announced as the winners of the house cup after last minute points were given for Harry, Ron and Hermione's heroics with the Philosopher's Stone.
