Imagine a world where wizards and witches exist. Flying brooms, spells, and all types of magic are just a normal part of life. J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series sucks you into a realm where all this and more is possible.
One theme of this series is pretty much Good vs. Evil. Voldemort, the mortal enemy of just about every wizard (except for his followers, the Death Eaters), plans to take over the world killing the main character, Harry Potter, in the process. Harry Potter has to war with the evil inside of him and kill Voldemort before Voldemort kills him: both cannot survive at the same time. With the help of his friends including Professor Dumbledore, Hermione, Ron, Neville, and many others, Harry strives to save the world from utter destruction.
There are so many characters in this book, it is almost confusing. So, I will just describe the main characters. Harry Potter, the star of the books, is an orphan boy trying to "fit in" in the "muggle" (human) world. He's just different, and then he finds out that he is a wizard! How crazy would that be? So he goes and trains at a school called Hogwarts and has amazing and frightening experiences there. He also meets Hermione and Ron, his two best friends in the series. Hermione is a goody two-shoes who is always the best at every class. Ron is Harry's awkward and clumsy friend who always messes up everything. Professor Dumbledore helps Harry along his journey to defeat Voldemort and wizard and muggle lives.
The story mostly takes place at Hogwarts, a training school for young wizards and witches. The school is protected by a shield that mostly keeps dark magic out. It is where Harry meets all his friends and his enemies, like the kids from Slytherin.
I was kind of skeptical of these books at first because I am not really into the whole "wizard" stuff, but once I started reading them, I could not stop. The movies are good, but they are NOTHING compared to the books. So, READ THE BOOKS! THEY ARE AMAZING!
