Harry Potter

Harry Potter is a series of seven novels written by J. K. Rowling. The novels are called: “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone”; “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”; “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”; “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”; “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”; “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”. 

It is the story of Harry Potter. His parents died, killed by Voldemort, “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named”.  Harry is very famous in the wizard world because when he was a baby, “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” tried to kill him and disappeared. Harry was the first who survived at a Voldemort attack but he kept lightning-shaped scar. He was adopted by his aunt and uncle, the Dursley. They have a son, Dudley, who is the “favourite small babe” of his parents. The Dursley are really bad with Harry until a letter arrived. It is a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry discovers he is a wizard and also discovers his parents didn’t die in a car accident. He goes to Hogwarts, learns magic, discovers Quidditch, and flies in broomstick…  He meets Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who become his best friends. He loves the director of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, a powerful wizard. He also meets some bad people, like Draco Malfoy…

In his first year in Hogwarts, he stops a professor who wants to help Voldemort using the philosopher’s stone.

In his second year, he destroys an enormous snake, the Basilik.

In his third year in Hogwarts, he becomes friend with a prisoner, who fled from Azkaban.

In his fourth year, he participles to a kind of competition…and he wins.

In his fifth year, he institutes a “club”, the Order of the Phoenix, to resist to Voldemort, who is back.

In his sixth year in Hogwarts, Dumbledore is killed by Professor Snape. We don’t know in which side Professor Snape is.

In his last year in Hogwarts, Harry kills Voldemort…

Harry Potter is a really good book. I read it many times in French, and I start to read it in English. It is one of my favourite books. Harry Potter also exists in film. I think the book is better but the film is good too.
