Harry Potter

Set in a hidden magical world existing alongside modern Britain, the series follows Harry Potter, an orphaned boy raised by his unkind Muggle relatives, who discovers on his eleventh birthday that he is a wizard and is invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As Harry enters this new realm of spells, enchanted castles, and wizarding traditions, he begins to uncover the truth about his parents and the mysterious scar on his forehead. The central conflict revolves around the lingering threat of the dark wizard Voldemort, whose failed attempt to kill baby Harry left the boy famous and marked for an uncertain destiny.
