Star Ledger Harry Potter Special! Life lessons from Harry - Harry Potter's life is full of adventure -- whether he's tackling an ugly troll, solving the mystery of the Sorcerer's Stone, or winning the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor House. But Harry is also a good role model. Here are some of the qualities that make Harry such a good kid and a wonderful wizard to boot. Character studies - There are good people, bad people, and even a few beasties and ghosts in the world of "Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone." Here are the ones you might want to keep track of. Learn to expect the unexpected - The magic in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" isn't just about potions, spells and ghosts with self-esteem issues. There are plenty of other magical things in Harry's world that are rather ordinary in ours, and you never know what to expect. Wizardry right from the start - "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is the first book -- and, this week, will be the first movie -- of a projected seven-part Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. Power of the pen conjures a magic of its own - Of course, even first-year Hogwarts students know that. They've already got textbooks full of dozens of different enchantments, not to mention hundreds of hard-to-remember potions. 'Harry Potter,' the movie, is by the book - Potterphiles will not be disappointed by the movie version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," which opens everywhere on Friday. In fact, if you've read the book even once -- is there anybody who's read it only once? -- then there won't be many surprises. A glossary of Harry Potter terms - If you've never read Harry Potter -- shame on you! -- or if it's been awhile, this is a guide to some of the places, people and things Harry encounters in "The Sorcerer's Stone."
