Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released in the United States as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) is a 2001 video game developed by Griptonite Games and published by Electronic Arts for the Game Boy Advance. Based on the 1997 novel of the same name, the player controls Harry Potter, who must navigate his first year in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and eventually confront the villainous Lord Voldemort.

The Game Boy Advance version was released simultaneously with the PlayStation and Game Boy Color versions and received mixed reviews from critics. While the visuals and faithfulness to the novel were praised, the gameplay was criticized as shallow and repetitive. In the United States, the game was among the highest-selling titles released for handheld consoles between 2000 and 2006.
