Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Here is some information about the first book in the Harry Potter series.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, is the first book in this series of seven novels about a boy, who finds out he's a wizard. I found this to be a very interesting children's novel when I first picked it up to read. Soon after reading several pages, I had already found a uniqueness like no other. The Sorcerer's Stone was obviously something very new, that most people haven't even heard of when the book was first published in 1997. Anyhow, HPSS tells the story of the title character himself, Harry Potter. He's an orphaned boy, who lives in the cupboard under the stairs in his mean Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia's house in England. Harry's Aunt and Uncle are the two meanest people Harry knows, right beside their own son--Dudley Dursley.
On Harry's eleventh birthday, he recieves an envelope in the mail and this is strange, considering that no one ever written to him before. Now the Dursleys are what wizards call "muggles", or people without a drop of magical blood, and they greatly dislike anything that has to do with magic. Thus, Uncle Dursley does his best to prevent the envelopes from reaching Harry, but finally Harry is rescued by a friendly giant, known as Hagrid. The envelope contains an invitation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the most famous magic school in the world! When Harry arrives there, he learns about his deep past from the truth of how his beloved parents died to the downfall of the feared Lord Voldemort. But perhaps, the strangest thing about Harry, is the lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead

Here are all the mistakes form Book one that I could find.
From the Movie
No 2nd floor bedroom.
Meets Malfoy right before sorting, instead of at Madam Malkins Robes For All Occasions.

No Railview Hotel.
They never even get in the car (when running away from the letters).
They delete Herbology, DADA, and History of Magic classes.
Harry and Hermione never send off Norbert, Dumbledore finds out about the dragon and sends it back himself.
Neville never gets detention and 50 points off, its actually Ron who does and he goes into the forest, not Neville.
The 1st years meeting ghosts scene never happens. They have a lot more ghosts in the movie then there should be.
Hermione, Ron and Harry meet Fluffy, (Neville never does). Not by a dueling match with Malfoy, but because the stairs changed passages and they accidentally meet Fluffy that way.

They set Harry down on the front porch when he is a baby, light starts to come from his scar, flashes, and the flash recedes back into an 11 year old Harry Potter waking up.
