Length of book 440

This is the 1st book of a great series, Harry was about 11 when things changed for the better for him, he left his abusive family with the help of a half-giant to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry. Then makes lifelong friends, and enemies, and battles he who must not be named. Some of the parts I liked best were Fuffy the 3 headed dog, and the dragon Hagrid kept in his hut.
