The Harry Potter series is about a boy who, when he was only one year old, lost his parents and was a victim of attempted murder by Voldemort- the greatest wizard alive.  But when the curse hit him, it backfired and hit Voldemort instead leaving him with nothing but a lightning bolt shaped scar.  Ever since Harry finds out that he is a wizard and finds what really happened to his parents, he is ready to fight back.  All through Harry’s school years he has been in an almost constant battle with Voldemort.  He finds later on that if there is going to be one to kill Voldemort, it must be him.  Not only is he on his way to great heights in his magical abilities, but throughout the series he also faces the journey of adolescence- - and along the way, he meets roadblocks, whether they’re good or bad…life and death, the importance of friendship, relationships, the harsh society, and the choices he has to make. Harry goes through stages of his life, just like all teenagers do, even despite his immense fame.  So it’s not just fun magic and happily- ever-afters…especially on Harry’s behalf.
