 Harry
Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by the
British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the
adventures of the adolescent wizard Harry Potter and his
best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, all of whom
are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The main story arc concerns Harry's quest to overcome
the evil dark wizard Lord Voldemort, whose aim is to
subjugate non-magical people, conquer the wizarding world,
and destroy all those who stand in his way, especially Harry
Potter.
Since the 30 June 1997 release of the first novel Harry
Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the books have gained
immense popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success
worldwide. The series has also had some share of criticism,
including concern for the increasingly dark tone. As of June
2011[update], the book series has sold about 450 million
copies and has been translated into 67 languages, and the
last four books consecutively set records as the
fastest-selling books in history.
A series of many genres, including fantasy and coming of age
(with elements of mystery, thriller, and romance), it has
many cultural meanings and references. According to Rowling,
the main theme is death, although it is primarily considered
to be a work of children's literature. There are also many
other themes in the series, such as love and prejudice.
The initial major publishers of the books were Bloomsbury in
the United Kingdom and Scholastic Press in the United States;
the books have since been published by many publishers
worldwide. In October 2011, the series will be released in
various ebook formats through "Pottermore". The books have
been made into an eight-part film series by Warner Bros.
Pictures, with the seventh book split into two parts; it is
the highest grossing film series of all time. The series
also originated much tie-in merchandise, making the Harry
Potter brand worth in excess of $15 billion.
Plot
The novels revolve around Harry Potter,
an orphan who discovers at the age of eleven that he is a
wizard, living within the ordinary world of non-magical, or
Muggle, people. His ability is inborn and such children
are invited to attend a school that teaches the necessary
skills to succeed in the wizarding world. Harry becomes a
student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and it
is in here where most of the novels' events take place. As
Harry develops through his adolescence, he learns to
overcome the problems that face him: magical, social and
emotional, including ordinary teenage challenges such as
friendships and exams, and the greater test of preparing
himself for the confrontation that lies ahead.
Each book chronicles one year in Harry's
life with the main narrative being set in the years 1991–98.
The books also contain many flashbacks, which are usually
described by characters viewing memories in a device called
a Pensieve.
Early years
 When the story of Harry Potter opens, it is clear that some
remarkable event has taken place in the wizarding world, an
event so very remarkable that even the Muggles notice signs
of it. The full background to the stories and to the person
of Harry Potter is only revealed gradually, through the
series. In the first book Harry discovers that as a baby he
witnessed his parents' murder by the power-obsessed dark
wizard, Lord Voldemort, who then attempted to kill him also. For reasons not immediately revealed, the spell with which
Voldemort tried to kill Harry rebounded. Harry survives with
only a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead as a memento of
the attack, and Voldemort disappears. As its inadvertent
saviour from Voldemort's reign of terror, Harry becomes a
living legend in the wizarding world. However, at the orders
of the venerable and well-known wizard Albus Dumbledore, the
orphaned Harry is placed in the home of his unpleasant
Muggle (non-wizard) relatives, the Dursleys. The Dursleys
keep him safe but hide his true heritage from him in hopes
that he will grow up "normal".
The first novel in the series, Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone (changed in some countries to Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), begins near Harry's
eleventh birthday. Half-giant Rubeus Hagrid reveals Harry's
history and introduces him to the wizarding world. The
environment J. K. Rowling created is completely separate
from reality yet intimately connected to it. While the
fantasy land of Narnia is an alternative universe and the
Lord of the Rings’ Middle-earth a mythic past, the wizarding
world of Harry Potter exists in parallel within the real
world and this is how Potter's world contains magical
elements similar to things in everyday life. Many of its
institutions and locations are recognizable, such as London.
It comprises a fragmented collection of hidden streets,
overlooked and ancient pubs, lonely country manors and
secluded castles that remain invisible to the Muggle
population.
With Hagrid's help, Harry prepares for and undertakes his
first year of study at Hogwarts. As Harry begins to explore
the magical world, the reader is introduced to many of the
primary locations used throughout the series. Harry meets
most of the main characters and gains his two closest
friends: Ron Weasley, a fun-loving member of an ancient,
large, happy, but hard-up wizarding family, and Hermione
Granger, a gifted and hard working witch of non-magical
parentage.[18][20] Harry also encounters the school's
potions master, Severus Snape, who displays a deep and
abiding dislike for him. The plot concludes with Harry's
second confrontation with Lord Voldemort, who in his quest
for immortality, yearns to gain the power of the
Philosopher's Stone.
The series continues with Harry Potter and the Chamber of
Secrets describing Harry's second year at Hogwarts. He and
his friends investigate a 50-year-old mystery that appears
tied to recent sinister events at the school. Ron's younger
sister, Ginny Weasley, enrols in her first year at Hogwarts,
and finds a notebook which turns out to be Voldemort's diary
from his school days. Ginny becomes possessed by Voldemort
through the diary and opens the "Chamber of Secrets",
unleashing an ancient monster which begins attacking
students at Hogwarts. The novel delves into the history of
Hogwarts and a legend revolving around the Chamber. For the
first time, Harry realises that racial prejudice exists in
the wizarding world, and he learns that Voldemort's reign of
terror was often directed at wizards who were descended from
Muggles. Harry also learns that his ability to speak
Parseltongue, the language of snakes, is rare and often
associated with the Dark Arts. The novel ends after Harry
saves Ginny's life by by destroying a basilisk and the diary,
in which Voldemort saved a piece of his soul (although Harry
does not realise this until later in the series). The
concept of storing part of one's soul inside of an object in
order to prevent death is officially introduced in the sixth
novel under the term "horcrux".
The third novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,
follows Harry in his third year of magical education. It is
the only book in the series which does not feature Voldemort.
Instead, Harry must deal with the knowledge that he has been
targeted by Sirius Black, an escaped murderer believed to
have assisted in the deaths of Harry's parents. As Harry
struggles with his reaction to the dementors—dark creatures
with the power to devour a human soul—which are ostensibly
protecting the school, he reaches out to Remus Lupin, a
Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher who is eventually
revealed to be a werewolf. Lupin teaches Harry defensive
measures which are well above the level of magic generally
shown by people his age. Harry learns that both Lupin and
Black were close friends of his father and that Black was
framed by their fourth friend, Peter Pettigrew. In this book,
another recurring theme throughout the series is emphasised—in
every book there is a new Defence Against the Dark Arts
teacher, none of whom lasts more than one school year.
