Harry Potter

Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The novels revolve around Harry Potter, an orphan who discovers that he is a wizard. Though wizard ability is inborn, children are sent to wizarding school to learn the magical skills necessary to succeed in the wizarding world. Harry is invited to attend the boarding school called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Each book chronicles one year in Harry's life, and most of the events take place at the school.

The books chronicle the adventures of the adolescent wizard Harry Potter, together with his close friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The central story arc concerns Harry's struggle against the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the wizarding world and subjugate non-magical people to his rule.

The seven books by J.K. Rowling are

* Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
* Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
* Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
* Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
* Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
* Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
* Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
