Harry Potter
Harry Potter is a fantasy book series created by J.K. Rowling, which tells the story of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as they embark on adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The series consists of seven books, published between 1997 and 2007, and it is one of the most popular and best-selling book series of all time.
The story follows Harry, who at the age of eleven learns that he is a wizard and is invited to study magic at Hogwarts. He discovers that he is famous as "The Boy Who Lived" because he survived an attack by the dark wizard Lord Voldemort as a baby. As the series progresses, Harry and his friends face increasing dangers as Voldemort seeks to return to power and destroy Harry once and for all.
The books blend fantasy, coming-of-age themes, and adventure, exploring the importance of friendship, courage, destiny, and choices. The series' world is richly detailed, featuring magical potions, creatures, spells, and enchanted objects, some of which—such as the Sorting Hat, Diagon Alley, and the Mirror of Erised—have become iconic in fantasy literature.
The Harry Potter series has expanded into many areas, including an eight-part film series, numerous companion books, a stage play (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), video games, and theme parks. It also gave rise to the Fantastic Beasts film series, set in the same universe but decades before the original story.
Harry Potter is not just a book series—it is a phenomenon that has influenced entire generations and left a lasting mark on popular culture. Its fanbase remains strong, and the world of Hogwarts continues to enchant both new and longtime readers across decades.
