More information about Harry Potter

As Harry struggles through his teens, he learns to overcome and master the many magical, emotional, and social obstacles he faces. When Harry was a baby, he saw his parents being killed by the evil dark wizard Lord Voldemort. Voldemort tries to assassinate Harry with a spell, but the spell rebounds and Voldemort apparently dies. Harry fortunately survives this dangerous encounter and is unharmed apart from a lightning bolt mark left on his head.

As a savior from Voldemort’s reign of evil, Harry is revered in the wizarding world. His patron, a good wizard named Albus Dumbledore, places the now-orphan Harry in a muggle home where he is kept safe, but unaware of his wizarding heritage.

On his eleventh birthday, Rubeus Hagrid reveals to him the origins of Harry’s magic and he is sent to the wizarding school called Hogwarts. Hogwarts is a wizarding school that, along with everything else magical, is invisible to non-wizards, but coexists with the normal world. With the help of Hagrid, Harry begins his studies of magic at Hogwarts.

During his first year of introduction to magic and sorcery, Harry forms and gains two close friendships with Ron Weasley and Herione Grange. Ron is a wizard and Herione is a witch. At the end of his first year, Harry has another encounter with Lord Voldemort. Voldemort seeks immortality and wants to know the power of the Philosopher’s Stone.

“Chamber of Secrets” describes Harry’s second year at the school, where he investigates the 50-year-old mystery that is interfering with the school. Ron’s younger sister enrolls in Hogwarts, though she is soon possessed by Voldemort through his diary and opens the “Chamber of Secrets”, freeing the monster that has been trapped there. The year ends with Harry saving Ginny Weasley (Ron’s younger sister) by destroying the journal in which Voldemort had saved part of his life force. Also known as “Horcrux”.

“The Prisoner of Azjaban” follows Harry’s third year at Hogwarts, where he discovers that he was attacked by Sirius Black, a fugitive murder that aided in the deaths of Harry’s parents. Harry learns that Dementors (dark creatures with the power to devour human souls) are protecting the school. Remus Lupine teaches Harry the art of magical defense, which is well above the normal power level for a third-year wizard. Lupine and Black were close friends of Harry’s father.

The fourth year at the school, as described in “Goblet of Fire”, sees Harry participate in the “Triwizard Tournament”, a very dangerous contest with foreign wizards and witches from other schools. Harry tries to find out who forced him to compete in this event. Professor Alastor Moody guides Harry through the tournament, but the new master is not what he appears to be and is actually one of Voldemort’s supporters in disguise. It is revealed that it was all a setup to kidnap Harry and return Voldemort to power.

“The Order of the Pheonix” details Harry’s fifth year at school, where he must face the resurgence of Voldemort and Dumbledore hastily reactivates “The Order of the Pheonix” in response. The secret order includes, but is not limited to, Lupine, Black, and members of the Weasley family.

The Ministry of Magic refuses to believe that Voldemort has returned and appoints Dolores Umbridge as High Inquisitor of Hogwarts. She forbids the use of magic to defend against dark magic, so Harry forms a secret study group to teach his companions to defend themselves. Harry discovers that he and Voldemort have a painful connection that allows for a telepathic link between the two wizards. The year ends with Harry and his friends from school fighting Voldemort’s Death Eaters only to be saved by the Order of the Pheonix.

“The Half-Blood Prince” follows Harry’s sixth year having passed his OWL (Ordinary Wizard Level) and Voldemort is leading another wizard war. This war is getting more and more violent and is beginning to be noticed by normal people. Harry learns the art of creating potions and with the help of Dumbledore, who also helps Harry relive some painful memories of Voldemort’s early years.

These memories reveal that Voldemort’s soul is divided into all the enchanted elements that are hidden in different places. In the end, Draco Malfoy attacks Dumbledore and is eventually killed by Professor Snape.

“The Deathly Hallows” follows after Harry’s sixth year at school and Voldemort has gained control of the Ministry of Magic. Harry, Ron, and Hermione leave the school to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes. As they search, they learn details of Dumbledore’s past and SNape’s real motive.

The series ends with Harry, Ron, Hermione, some of the teachers, and the Order of the Pheonix fighting to defend Hogwarts from Voldemort and his evil creatures. With the last Horcrux destroyed, Harry must finally face Voldemort. He offers the evil lord one last chance, but Voldemort ignores Harry’s offer and attempts to finally kill him. Again the spell bounces and that is the end of Voldemort.
