Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci was born on the 15th April, 1452. He lived in a small town in Italy with his grandparents. He studied at home and enjoyed music, singing and mathematics. At the age of 16 he wanted to study art, so he moved to the city of Florence for art classes. Leonardo finished his studies after four years. He then worked in Milan as an engineer and he started his life as an inventor. In 1500 he went back to Florence and in 1516 he travelled to France where he stayed for the rest of his life.
Leonardo da Vinci lived and worked before people used electricity and petrol for power, but he had the first ideas for many machines that we use today. For example, he designed the first helicopter but he never made it. He made the first diving suit of leather with long pipes to carry the air to the diver. These are just some of Leonardo’s hundreds of inventions. He also invented a parachute and even high heels!

Chapter One
The Boy Who Lived
The chapter starts with description of the Dursley family, who are proud to be "perfectly normal". We learn that Mrs Dursley has a sister, Mrs Potter, but their families haven't met for several years. Both families have sons.
Then the story begins on a "dull, grey Tuesday". Mr Dursley notices a lot of strange things hapenning - owls flying in town, people in cloaks, a strange cat sitting on the wall of his garden, unusual news on TV. The Dursleys go to bed wondering what it all could mean. At night, a tall, thin and very old man appears near their house. It's Albus Dumbledore. The cat turns out to be Professor McGonagall, and the two are professors from Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry. Then comes Hagrid, a giant, who brings little Harry Potter. Harry's parents were killed by Lord Voldermort, a dark wizard, but Harry survived and Voldermort's power "somehow broke" .
So little Harry is left asleep on the doorstep of the Dursley's house with a letter written by Dumbledore. The professors and Hagrid go to join the celebrations.
