Who is Harry Potter?

If you're a fan of the Harry Potter books or movies, then you know that Harry Potter is the main character. He's the one who defeats Voldemort and saves the wizarding world. But who is he, really?

Harry Potter was born in 1980 to Lily and James Potter. His parents were both witches and were killed by Voldemort when Harry was just a baby. He was raised by his aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley. The Dursleys treated him badly, making him sleep in the cupboard under the stairs and calling him names. However, all of that changed when Harry received a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on his 11th birthday.

At Hogwarts, Harry made friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Together, they faced many challenges, including defeating Voldemort three times.

The History of the Harry Potter Books

The Harry Potter book series created by British author J.K. Rowling spans seven books published between 1997 and 2007. Each of the books follows the story of the titular character Harry Potter: an orphan who discovers he is a wizard and begins to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Spanning the years of Harry's childhood and adulthood, the books continue to be popular across generations.

The success of the series began in June of 1997 with the release of the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Initially published as a children's fiction novel, the book quickly became a bestseller and within a year had been translated into many different languages. The success of the first book prompted Scholastic to begin publishing the series in the United States in 1998, releasing the American counterpart to the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

In the following years, Rowling wrote a sequel to the first book each summer, with the second, third, and fourth books released in 1998, 1999, and 2000 respectively. By 2000, the series had become a cultural phenomenon, with the fourth book's release watched and anticipated on a world wide scale. The fifth book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, was released in 2003 and set the world record for first-day sales, with 6.9 million copies sold in the United Kingdom.

2007 marked the end of the book series with the release of the seventh and final novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The novel sold 8.3 million copies in the first 24 hours, the fastest selling book in history. In addition to the books, movies were increasingly popular and began to be released in 2001 with the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The series was released in its entirety by 2011.

The Harry Potter book series has sold over 450 million copies, making it one of the best-selling book series in history. With its popularity lasting for nearly two decades, the books have become a part of our culture and have made an indelible mark on generations of readers.
