@Harry Potter:
"Harry lived with his Aunt and Uncle, the Sackville Bagginses, who tormented him by calling him Cinderella. Harry dearly wanted to know more about his father, but his Uncle refused to let him join his friends until after the next harvest. Fortunately, a strange old hermit, who lived out beyond the Dune Sea, and was known as Hagrid, showed Harry his true path. he did this by giving him his father's magic wand, which his father would have wanted when he was old enough, but his uncle wouldn't allow it. Harry vowed revenge on the dark lord of the Sith who had killed his father, but was flung sideways into Tom Brown's schooldays."
Is how I read the first book.
