    Hogwart's Year One: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

    This book was also published under the title Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for the U.K. audience. Apparently the U.S. audience was simply not sophisticated enough to wrap their heads around the idea of a Philosopher's Stone.

    The elements of foreshadowing in this were the frequent and obvious references to Harry's scar. From the moment we meet Harry his scar is his distinguishing mark. This scar was the first indication that there was a connection between Harry and Voldemort the evil sorcerer who must not be named. When Hagrid describes to him that he has been marked there is foreshadowing. Hagrid tells him: That was no ordinary cut. It wasn't even ordinary for a curse. Harry was the first and only to survive Voldemort's killing curse. The scar on Harry's forehead becomes the first foreshadowing of what is to come.
