>>108316100The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is a seven-book fantasy epic that follows an orphaned boy who discovers on his 11th birthday that he is a wizard.
After living a neglected life with his non-magical (Muggle) relatives, the Dursleys, Harry is invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He learns that he is famous in the magical world for surviving a killing curse from the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, which left him with a lightning-shaped scar and led to Voldemort's initial downfall.
The Early Years (Books 1–3): Harry befriends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger while learning magic and repeatedly thwarting Voldemort's attempts to return to power. He also meets his mentor, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, and learns about his godfather, Sirius Black.
The Return of Voldemort (Books 4–5): During a dangerous magical tournament, Voldemort finally regains a physical body and declares war on the wizarding world. The Ministry of Magic initially denies this, leading Harry to form a secret student group, Dumbledore’s Army, to prepare for the coming conflict.
The Final Battle (Books 6–7): Harry learns that Voldemort has divided his soul into objects called Horcruxes to achieve immortality. After Dumbledore's death, Harry, Ron, and Hermione leave school to find and destroy these objects. The series culminates in the Battle of Hogwarts, where Harry finally defeats Voldemort for good.
The overarching story is defined by the struggle between good and evil, the power of love and sacrifice, and the importance of choice over destiny.
