In the books, the fantasy is about magic. Harry Potter is born with the power to do magic, as he is a wizard. He soon discovers that there are a lot of magic people, other wizard and witches, in the world, living unknown to most non-magical people (known as "muggles"). When he is eleven, he gets a letter inviting him to go to a boarding school called Hogwarts for young witches and wizards. Each book tells about one year of his life at school, about the people that he meets there, the things that he learns, and his adventures.

There are seven books total in the series. A series of movies about the first six books has been made by Warner Bros. They started making the movies in 2001. The sixth one, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, was released on July 7, 2009. The first half of the final movie *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows* was released in late November, 2010. Part 2 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released in July, 2011.

## Characters and actors of the movies

### Main characters

* **Harry Potter** (Daniel Radcliffe): The hero of the stories. Harry is an atypical young wizard. Harry's parents, James and Lily Potter, were killed by Lord Voldemort when he was just a baby. Due to this, he lives and was raised by his Aunt Petunia, his mother's sister, and Uncle Vernon, along with their son Dudley.
* **Ron Weasley** (Rupert Grint): Harry's best friend. Ron comes from a large magical family, with 5 brothers and 1 sister.
* **Hermione Granger** (Emma Watson): Harry's other best friend. Hermione's parents are not wizards, but "Muggles" (non-magical people).
* **Albus Dumbledore**: Headmaster at Hogwarts. He is a very powerful wizard. Voldemort fears him. Dumbledore was played by Richard Harris in the first two movies. After Richard Harris's death, Michael Gambon took over the role.
* **Rubeus Hagrid** (Robbie Coltrane): Teacher and Groundskeeper at Hogwarts, friend of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and a "half-giant."
* **Lord Voldemort**: The main villain of the series. He is feared throughout the wizarding world, and is often referred to as "He Who Must Not Be Named", or as "You Know Who". Prior to his infamy he was known as Tom Marvolo Riddle. The part was played in different movies by Richard Bremmer, Christian Coulson, and Ralph Fiennes.
* **Sirius Black**: (Gary Oldman) James Potter's best friend. He was charged for a murder that he did not do, and then broke out of Azkaban. He is Harry Potter's godfather.
* **Severus Snape** (Alan Rickman): the Potions master at Hogwarts. Harry and his friends do not like Snape, and not many of the other characters in the books do as well.
