Harry
Potter
From a series of fantasy novels written by the British author J. K. Rowling.
The books chronicle the adventures of the adolescent wizard Harry
Potter and his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, all of

main story arc concerns Harry's quandary involving the evil wizard Lord
Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the
wizarding world and subjugate non-magical people (Muggles).
