this time i would like to post about Harry Potter
Yes the most fenomenal epic story so lets check it out
The novels revolve around
Harry Potter,
an orphan who discovers at the age of eleven that he is a wizard,
living within the ordinary world of non-magical people, known as
Muggles.His ability is inborn and such children are invited to attend a school that teaches the necessary skills to succeed in the
wizarding world.
Harry becomes a student at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
and it is here where most of the novels' events take place. As Harry
develops through his adolescence, he learns to overcome the problems
that face him: magical, social and emotional, including ordinary teenage
challenges such as friendships and exams, and the greater test of
preparing himself for the confrontation that lies ahead.
Each book chronicles one year in Harry's life
with the main narrative being set in the years 1991–98.
The books also contain many
flashbacks, which are frequently experienced by Harry viewing the memories of other characters in a device called a
Pensieve.
The environment Rowling created is completely separate from reality yet also intimately connected to it. While the
fantasy land of
Narnia is an
alternative universe and the
Lord of the Rings' Middle-earth a mythic past, the wizarding world of
Harry Potter
exists in parallel within the real world and contains magical versions
of the ordinary elements of everyday life. Many of its institutions and
locations are recognisable, such as London.
It comprises a fragmented collection of overlooked hidden streets,
ancient pubs, lonely country manors and secluded castles that remain
invisible to the Muggle population.
Early years
When the first novel of the series
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (published in some countries as
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)
opens, it is clear some remarkable event has taken place in the
wizarding world, an event so very remarkable, even the Muggles notice
signs of it. The full background to this event and to the person of
Harry Potter is only revealed gradually, through the series. After the
introductory chapter, the book leaps forward to a time shortly before
Harry Potter's eleventh birthday, and it is at this point that his
background begins to be revealed.
Harry's first contact with the wizarding world is through a half-giant,
Rubeus Hagrid, keeper of grounds and keys at Hogwarts. Hagrid reveals some of Harry's history Harry learns that as a baby he witnessed his parents' murder by the power-obsessed dark wizard,
Lord Voldemort, who then attempted to kill him also.
For reasons not immediately revealed, the spell with which Voldemort
tried to kill Harry rebounded. Harry survived with only a
lightning-shaped scar on his forehead as a memento of the attack, and
Voldemort disappeared. As its inadvertent saviour from Voldemort's reign
of terror, Harry has become a living legend in the wizarding world.
However, at the orders of the venerable and well-known wizard
Albus Dumbledore, the orphaned Harry had been placed in the home of his unpleasant
Muggle
(non-wizard) relatives, the Dursleys, who had him safe but hid his true
heritage from him in hopes that he would grow up "normal".
\
With Hagrid's help, Harry prepares for and undertakes his first year
of study at Hogwarts. As Harry begins to explore the magical world, the
reader is introduced to many of the primary locations used throughout
the series. Harry meets most of the main characters and gains his two
closest friends:
Ron Weasley, a fun-loving member of an ancient, large, happy, but hard-up wizarding family, and
Hermione Granger, a gifted and hardworking witch of non-magical parentage.
[Harry also encounters the school's potions master,
Severus Snape,
who displays a deep and abiding dislike for him. The plot concludes
with Harry's second confrontation with Lord Voldemort, who in his quest
for immortality, yearns to gain the power of the
Philosopher's Stone, a substance that gives everlasting life.
The series continues with
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
describing Harry's second year at Hogwarts. He and his friends
investigate a 50-year-old mystery that appears tied to recent sinister
events at the school. Ron's younger sister,
Ginny Weasley,
enrols in her first year at Hogwarts, and finds a notebook which turns
out to be Voldemort's diary from his school days. Ginny becomes
possessed by Voldemort through the diary and opens the "Chamber of
Secrets", unleashing an ancient monster which begins attacking students
at Hogwarts. The novel delves into the history of Hogwarts and a legend
revolving around the Chamber. For the first time, Harry realises that
racial prejudice exists in the wizarding world, and he learns that
Voldemort's reign of terror was often directed at wizards who were
descended from Muggles. Harry also learns that his ability to speak
Parseltongue, the language of snakes, is rare and often associated with the
Dark Arts. The novel ends after Harry saves Ginny's life by destroying a
basilisk and the enchanted diary which has been the source of the problems.
The third novel,
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,
follows Harry in his third year of magical education. It is the only
book in the series which does not feature Voldemort. Instead, Harry must
deal with the knowledge that he has been targeted by
Sirius Black, an escaped murderer believed to have assisted in the deaths of Harry's parents. As Harry struggles with his reaction to the
dementors—dark creatures with the power to devour a human soul—which are ostensibly protecting the school, he reaches out to
Remus Lupin, a
Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher who is eventually revealed to be a
werewolf.
Lupin teaches Harry defensive measures which are well above the level
of magic generally shown by people his age. Harry learns that both Lupin
and Black were close friends of his father and that Black was framed by
their fourth friend,
Peter Pettigrew.
In this book, another recurring theme throughout the series is
emphasised—in every book there is a new Defence Against the Dark Arts
teacher, none of whom lasts more than one school year.
Voldemort returns
During Harry's fourth year of school (detailed in
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
Harry is unwillingly entered as a participant in the Triwizard
Tournament, a dangerous contest where Harry must compete against a witch
and a wizard "champion" from visiting schools as well as another
Hogwarts student.Harry is guided through the tournament by Professor
Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, who turns out to be an impostor – one of Voldemort's supporters named
Barty Crouch, Jr
in disguise. The point at which the mystery is unravelled marks the
series' shift from foreboding and uncertainty into open conflict.
Voldemort's plan to have Crouch use the tournament to bring Harry to
Voldemort succeeds. Although Harry manages to escape, Cedric Diggory,
the other Hogwarts champion in the tournament, is killed and Voldemort
re-enters the wizarding world with a physical body.
In the fifth book,
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry must confront the newly resurfaced Voldemort. In response to Voldemort's reappearance, Dumbledore re-activates the
Order of the Phoenix,
a secret society which works from Sirius Black's dark family home to
defeat Voldemort's minions and protect Voldemort's targets, especially
Harry. Despite Harry's description of Voldemort's recent activities, the
Ministry of Magic and many others in the magical world refuse to believe that Voldemort has returned.
In an attempt to counter and eventually discredit Dumbledore, who along
with Harry is the most prominent voice in the wizarding world
attempting to warn of Voldemort's return, the Ministry appoints
Dolores Umbridge
as the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts. She transforms the school into a
dictatorial regime and refuses to allow the students to learn ways to
defend themselves against dark magic.
Harry forms "
Dumbledore's Army",
a secret study group to teach his classmates the higher-level skills of
Defence Against the Dark Arts that he has learned. An important
prophecy concerning Harry and Voldemort is revealed,
and Harry discovers that he and Voldemort have a painful connection,
allowing Harry to view some of Voldemort's actions telepathically. In
the novel's climax, Harry and his friends face off against Voldemort's
Death Eaters.
Although the timely arrival of members of the Order of the Phoenix
saves the children's lives, Sirius Black is killed in the conflict.
In the sixth book,
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,
Voldemort begins waging open warfare. Harry and friends are relatively
protected from that danger at Hogwarts. They are subject to all the
difficulties of adolescence; Harry eventually begins dating Ginny
Weasley. Near the beginning of the novel, Harry is given an old potions
textbook filled with annotations and recommendations signed by a
mysterious writer, "the Half-Blood Prince". This book is a source of
scholastic success, but because of the potency of the spells that are
written in it, becomes a source of concern. Harry takes private lessons
with Dumbledore, who shows him various memories concerning the early
life of Voldemort. These reveal that Voldemort, to preserve his life,
has split his soul into pieces, creating a series of
horcruxes, evil enchanted items hidden in various locations, one of which was the diary destroyed in the second book.
Harry's snobbish adversary, Draco Malfoy, attempts to attack
Dumbledore, and the book culminates in the killing of Dumbledore by
Professor Snape, the titular Half-Blood Prince.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,
the last book in the series, begins directly after the events of the
sixth book. Voldemort has completed his ascension to power and gains
control of the Ministry of Magic. Harry, Ron, and Hermione drop out of
school so that they can find and destroy Voldemort's remaining
horcruxes. To ensure their own safety as well as that of their family
and friends, they are forced to isolate themselves. As they search for
the horcruxes, the trio learns details about Dumbledore's past, as well
as Snape's true motives—he had worked on Dumbledore's behalf since the
murder of Harry's mother.
The book culminates in the Battle of Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, and
Hermione, in conjunction with members of the Order of the Phoenix and
many of the teachers and students, defend Hogwarts from Voldemort, his
Death Eaters, and various
magical creatures.
Several major characters are killed in the first wave of the battle.
After learning that he himself is a horcrux, Harry surrenders himself to
Voldemort, who casts a killing curse at him. However, the defenders of
Hogwarts do not surrender after learning this, but continue to fight on.
Having managed to return from the dead, Harry finally faces Voldemort,
whose horcruxes have all been destroyed. In the subsequent battle,
Voldemort's curse rebounds off of Harry's spell and kills Voldemort. An
epilogue describes the lives of the surviving characters and the effects
on the wizarding world.
