But one day everything changes. Harry receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It upsets his aunt and uncle, and they don't let him read it. After continually receiving these letters, Harry's uncle takes his family to a shack in the stormy sea, and that night, Harry reads his letter. A giant man, named Hagrid, introduces himself as the groundkeeper of Hogwarts, and tells Harry he's a wizard.
Harry's not just any wizard, though. His parents weren't killed in a car crash, but by the most evil wizard known: Voldemort. Voldemort tried to kill Harry too, but failed. Harry is known as the Boy Who Lived, famous throughout the wizarding world.
Harry goes to Hogwarts, where everyone knows his name. He meets Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who become friends after an incident with a mountain troll on Halloween. Harry loves his new world, even with the mean potions teacher and strange defense against the dark arts professor.
But it turns out that Lord Voldemort isn't dead and gone; in fact, he's still alive, and he's looking for Harry.
Events transpire. Harry ends up face to face with Voldemort, and defeats him for the time being. But Voldemort is still out there, waiting.
Throughout his years at Hogwarts, Harry defeats Voldemort many times, but Voldemort doesn't die easily. Everything comes down to Harry and Voldemort.
Harry Potter has a special place in my heart. It was one of the first books my parents read to me. I recommend this book to anyone.
I know that some people don't like this series, but really, just give it a chance. It can be a little slow at the beginning, but it is well worth it.
Not to be cliché, but I give this series 6 out of 5 stars.
If you happen to be reading this, tell me what house you would be in. I'm a Ravenclaw.
