The **Harry Potter universe** is a parallel, fictional reality created by author ***J. K. Rowling***. It is similar to our universe, except that magic exists (hidden and unknown to the majority of ***Muggles***) and minor geographical and historical differences are present.

## Introduction

The Harry Potter universe was originally showcased in the form of the ***Harry Potter book series***, but several companion books, as well as the *Harry Potter* film series, have been created in light of the series' popularity.

As the Wizarding World franchise was introduced and expanded, the Harry Potter universe has also since included contents from the ***Fantastic Beasts screenplays and film series***, various ***video games***, etc.
