Have you ever heard about Harry Potter? Well, Harry Potter is a novel. It is a heptalogy
of fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures of the eponymous adolescent wizard Harry Potter, together with his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The story is mostly set at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, an academy for young wizards and witches. The central story arc concerns Harry's conflict against the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the
wizarding world. Harry Potter's life starts here (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone): The story opens with the conspicuous celebration of a normally secretive wizarding world. For many years, it had been terrorised by the evil wizard, Lord Voldemort. The previous night, on 31 October, Voldemort discovers the Potter family's hidden refuge, killing Lily and James Potter. However, when he attempts to murder their infant son, Harry, the Avada Kedavra
killing curse he casts rebounds upon him. Voldemort's body is
destroyed, but his spirit survives: he is neither dead nor alive.
Meanwhile, the orphaned Harry is left with a distinctive lightning
bolt-shaped scar on his forehead, the only physical sign of Voldemort's
curse. Harry is the only known survivor of the killing curse, and
Voldemort's mysterious defeat causes the wizarding community to dub
Harry "The Boy Who Lived". On November 1, Hagrid, a 'half-giant', delivers Harry to his only living relatives, the cruel and magic-phobic Dursleys,
comprising Uncle Vernon, a bad-tempered uncle with hardly any neck;
Aunt Petunia, a long-necked woman who appears to absolutely loathe
Harry; and Dudley, their spoiled, overweight son. They attempt in vain
to rid him of his
magical powers, hide his magical heritage, and
severely punish him after any strange occurrences. However, as his eleventh birthday approaches, Harry has his first contact with the magical world when he receives letters from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which are delivered by owls.
However, his uncle intercepts the letters. On his birthday, Hagrid,
Hogwarts' gamekeeper, appears and informs Harry that he is a wizard and
has been invited to attend the school. Each book chronicles one year in
Harry's life, which is mostly spent at Hogwarts. There he learns to use
magic and brew potions.
Harry also learns to overcome many magical, social, and emotional
hurdles as he struggles through his adolescence, Voldemort's second
rise to power, and the Ministry of Magic's
corruption and incompetence. After facing many obstacles, making
countless friends, and losing loved ones, Harry Potter confronts the
Dark Lord for the last time. And then, the story doesn't ended here. It is only the first part of the exciting story. It was composed by the seven adventurous books namely: Philosopher's Stone, Followed by the Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince and the last one is the Deathly Hallows.
