Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

Which minor character in this book would you like to know more about? If there were a whole book about them, what would it be called?


Harry Potter is an "ordinary" boy who is not that ordinary after all. After his parent's tragic death caused by the evil wizard Voldemort, and Harry's narrow escape, Harry is left at his cruel, utterly ordinary Aunt and Uncle's house by Professor Dumbledore, head of Hogwart's School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, in hope of giving hime a safer life. All of the sudden, on Harry's birthday, he is introduced to Hogwarts and told what REALLY happened to his mother and father (not a car crash, what his uncle and aunt made hime believe, after all. Harry must face off against Voldemort with his two new friends, and Voldemort wants two things; the Sorcerer's Stone, but most of all: to see Harry dead. The minor character in this book that I would like to know more about is Nearly Headless Nick. If there were a book about him, it would be called Headless.
