Summary:
Grab your wands and your broomsticks! The magic begins with your favorite cat and mouse duo as they encounter a young boy named Harry Potter, who survived a deadly encounter with the dark wizard.

Their lives are turned upside down as they are whisked off to the magical world, and to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

They also meet a wizard-in-training mouse named Tuffy with a white diaper, and super-strong wizard cousin mouse named Muscles and uncle wizard mouse named Harry who knows a lot about the Hogwarts School.

Plot:
The first film begins with baby Harry Potter and his pet, Tom the Kitten and little newborn mouse Jerry with a white-diaper being delivered to a muggle family the Dursley's at Number 4 Privet Drive by Reubus Hagrid, Minerva McGonagall and Albus Dumbledore on the night his mother and father, Lily and James Potter are killed by a dark wizard called Lord Voldemort.

At the same time, a mischievous trio of Siamese cats are going into hiding after the dark wizard has failed to kill the baby for some certain unknown reason and when the time comes, they know that their master be ready for the boy who lived. Years pass quickly by, and we come to our favorite cat-and-mouse duo Tom and Jerry fighting and chasing each other throughout the busy streets of Diagon Alley.

Jerry relentlessly teases and mocks Tom as he makes his quick escape, thus provoking the cat's temper. Soon, their wild antics come to a complete stop when they find themselves purchased, along with a beautiful female snowy owl named Hedwig, by a large half-giant and a small boy with a lightning scar on his forehead. The cat and mouse glare angrily at each other with hatred as they are being carried in their cage by the half-giant while the boy carries the owl in her cage. Little do they know, is that their new owner is the famous young boy wizard, known as Harry Potter, the boy who lived.

("The Boy Who Lived") Later, they are taken to the King's Cross train station in search for Platform 9 3/4, where they see a red-haired family with twin boys (Fred and George), an older boy (Percy), a younger boy and a girl (Ginny) accompanied by their mother.

Harry asks the mother, whose son Ron Weasley's first year at attending a school called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where to find platform 9 3/4. The woman points to a wall between platforms 9 and 10 and tells him to run real fast into the barrier.

Tom and Jerry shriek in horror and fear as Harry swivels their cart around and bolts into a heavy run, drawing closer towards the barrier; the cat and mouse shut their eyes as they await for the crash to come, but nothing happens.

Jerry opens his eyes and Tom is still shaking and trembling in fear.

The mouse taps on the cat's shoulder, causing him to yelp and then look around to see a huge, scarlet steam engine waiting on a platform packed with so many people, and there is a sign overhead that reads, "The Hogwarts Express, 11:00", then they and Harry both turn around to see a wrought-iron archway where the barrier has been, with the words, "Platform Nine and Three-Quarters," engraved on it.

They realize that they have finally reached their destination. Harry, Tom, Jerry, George, Ron, Percy and Fred quickly board the Hogwarts Express train, followed by a boy named Neville Longbottom.

On the Hogwarts Express train, Harry and Ron Weasley become fast friends while Tom and Jerry resume becoming bitter enemies, chasing and fighting each other.

The short-tempered grey tomcat chases the mouse through compartment after compartment, knocking over trolleys and trunks in each attempt to catch the pesky rodent. While escaping from Tom, Jerry meets Ron's scruffy-looking Rat, Scabbers, and the two rodent immediately become fast friends. Jerry shares some scraps of food he'd swiped from the trolley and even from Tom with Scabbers, including the forgotten corned beef sandwiches which Ron hates. Ron is surprised to see that Jerry is making friends with his pet rat, and so is Harry. Later, they meet a girl named Hermione Granger by the time Tom bursts into their compart in attempt to catch Jerry, causing Scabbers to run away and yet another calamity on the train. Tom is eventually returned to Harry by a train conductor, much to the boy's embarrassment. As a result, Harry has to keep Tom in a kitty carrier for the rest of the train ride to keep him out of trouble, much to the cat's dismay and displeasure, while Jerry mocks him, by sticking his tongue out at him.

Upon arrival at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Tom and Jerry are welcomed by a young grey mouse with a white-diaper named Tuffy, who is a wizard-in-training and the strong wizard Muscles Mouse and his older brother wizard Harry Mouse.

He takes the duo around the castle to show the whole entire school, but the cat and mouse are still puzzled about their new owner and their current environment.

Surprised to learn that the cat and mouse have no idea who their owner is, Tuffy escorts them to the Headmaster Albus Dumbledore's office, where the elderly and wise wizard speaks to the cat and mouse duo about the most famous wizard of all, Harry Potter, the boy they were with while getting off the Hogwarts Express train when arriving at Hogwarts. He explains the terrible and tragic story of how Harry received the scar as a baby from He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, or Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents James and Lily Potter, and also tried to kill their infant son, but the killing curse backfired due to the mother's loving sacrifice which protected him, which defeated the terrible Dark Lord. He puts his trust in the cat and mouse to work together, to watch over the young wizard boy and protect him from the threat of the Dark Lord. In order to protect Harry Potter, the cat and mouse must learn magic as well with their newly obtained wands, learn to fly on broomsticks, mix potions, and cast spells. While at Hogwarts, Tom and Jerry, along with Harry Potter, meet new friends and rivals, and encounter surprises and dangers that lurk in every corner, including Fluffy the Three-Headed Dog and the Mountain Troll. Tuffy is suspicious about Harry Potter's first year Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Quirinius Quirrell after hearing about the break-in at the Gringotts Bank. He explains every detail about Quirrell to the cat and mouse. Tom and Jerry dance merrily when they hear that Harry is selected to become the seeker for Gryffindor's Quidditch team.

Christmas soon comes to Hogwarts and Harry receives a roughly cut wooden flute from Hagrid, a 50-pence piece from the Dursleys, a large box of homemade fudge and an emerald green hand-knitted sweater from Mrs. Weasley, a large box of chocolate frogs from Hermione (who went home to her parents for the holidays), and his late father's invisibility cloak. Tom finds the card along with the invisibility cloak and reads aloud: "Your father left it in my possession before he died. It is time it was returned to you. Use it well. A Very Merry Christmas to you."

Ron receives Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans from Hermione and a Maroon hand-knitted sweater from his mother. Fred and George each receive a blue hand-knitted sweater. Tom and Jerry receive presents as well. For Tom, he receives a big ball of yarn from Hagrid, an old cat brush from the Dursleys, a large bottle of cream and a special ruby red hand-knitted kitty-sized sweater from Mrs. Weasley, a large bag of Kitty treats from Hermione, and a freshly preserved salmon from Dumbledore. As for Jerry, he receives a large package of cheese and a special sapphire blue hand-knitted mouse-size sweater from Mrs. Weasley, a giant-sized wedge of Swiss cheese from Hagrid, a package of cotton swabs and cheese crumbs from the Dursleys, a platter of various kinds of cheeses from Hermione, and a cheesecake from Dumbledore.

Harry finds the Mirror of Erised which shows him his late mom and dad, Tom and Jerry also find their young master as they curl up to his lap and snuggle against him. Dumbledore, followed by his assistant Droopy, finds Harry and his pets at the Mirror of Erised and advises the boy that it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

A Hungarian Ridgeback dragon called Norbert hatches from its egg. Harry and his friends, along with Tom and Jerry, are caught out of bed after midnight in the astronomy tower whilst sending Norbert to Charlie Weasley in Romania and lose Gryffindor a grand total of 150 house points, receiving a detention. Tom and Jerry escort Neville, Hermione and Harry back to bed. Tuffy whispers to Tom and Jerry that he saw something suspicious about Quirrell and tells the two to follow him.

The next morning, while Neville, Draco, Hermione and Harry are receiving notices that their detention will take place at 11:00pm, telling them to meet Mr. Filch at the entrance hall, Tom and Jerry meet Tuffy again on the third corridor, who tells them more information about the Philosopher's stone—and Professor Quirrell. He tells then to meet them in the Forbidden Forest that night the same night of Harry's detention for some investigating.

Tuffy leads Tom and Jerry to the forests, and he sees Professor Quirrell feeding on the blood of a dead unicorn (off-screen), much to their disgust and shock. Their eyes widen in horror as Quirrell is trying to kill Harry Potter and Tom and Jerry.

Soon, Tom, Jerry, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Tuffy, Uncle Harry and Muscles head down to the bottom chamber to investigate; they manage to subdue Fluffy and the Devil's Snare, encounter the Flying Keys, play the Wizarding chess and solve the Potions riddle to allow Tom, Jerry and Harry to go through the purple flames and enter the antechambers, where they find the Mirror of Erised and Quirinius Quirrell.

To their shock, they discover that Quirrell is possessed by Lord Voldemort. Discovering that Harry has been hiding the Sorcerer's stone in his trouser pocket the whole time, Voldemort offers to revive his parents if the boy gives up the stone. Tom and Jerry shake their heads no, telling him not to give in.

Soon, Harry Potter wakes up in the hospital wing bed and finds Tom and Jerry right next to him.

The film ends with Jerry playing a prank on Tom: the mouse casts a fiery an Incendio Spell onto the cat's tail and Tom smells something burning, turns around to see his tail burning. Tom shrieks and hollers in pain, and Jerry rolls on the ground in huge fits of laughter, only to start running when Tom begins chasing him into the horizon, much to everyone's amusement.
