"Well, what are you waiting for, read us the next section." Ron demanded. The female glared at her crush, and said

"Fine," in a very huffy voice

The novels revolve around Harry Potter,

"No duh, it's not like my name is in the title or anything." Harry snipped sarcastically.

an orphan who discovers at the age of eleven that he is a wizard, living within the ordinary world of non-magical or Muggle people.[12] Wizard ability is inborn, but magical children like Harry are invited to attend wizarding school to learn the magical skills necessary to succeed in the wizarding world.[13]

"I would hate it if I had never come to Hogwarts," Harry said sadly

"I think we all would," Ron put in

Harry becomes a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it is here that most of the events of the novels take place, as Harry develops through his adolescence, learning to overcome the problems that face him, magical,

"Like certain stones, giant snakes, and transforming godfathers," said Hermione

social

"Having to beat up a troll to get a friend," Ron teased

"I think that may be considered magical." Harry corrected

and emotional, including ordinary teenage challenges such as friendships and exams, and the greater challenge of preparing himself for the confrontation that lies ahead.[14]

"That doesn't sound good" the brown eyed trio member gulped.

Each book chronicles one year in Harry's life[15] with the main narrative being set in the years 1991–98[16][17] The books also contain many flashbacks,

"To what, my childhood?" asked Harry bewilderedly.

"I guess," said his best mate

with a significant number being from the year 1976 when Harry's parents were in their fifth year at Hogwarts.

"How does that work?" asked Hermione

"Probably a pensive, it allows access to memories and thought process of others." explained Ron.

Other memories date from various determinable and undeterminable periods after 1945, although little reference is made to historic features or events of any period. The only specific date given in the series is in the last book, on the grave of Harry's parents, James and Lily Potter, and identifies their death as taking place in 1981.

Here the trio bowed their heads for an appropriate length of time.

"Wizarding world" Hermione began again once they had relaxed

When the story of Harry Potter opens, it is clear that some remarkable event has taken place in the wizarding world, an event so very remarkable that even the Muggles notice signs of it. The full background to the stories and to the person of Harry Potter is only revealed gradually, through the series.

"Tell me about it, no one knows what happened that night," moaned Hermione, she didn't like not having relevant knowledge.

In the first book Harry discovers that as a baby he witnessed his parents' murder by the power-obsessed dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, who then attempted to kill him also.[18] For reasons not immediately revealed, the spell with which Voldemort tried to kill Harry rebounded.

"Thank Merlin," Ron muttered

Harry survives with only a lightning-shaped mark on his forehead as a memento of the attack, and Voldemort disappears. As its inadvertent savior from Voldemort's reign of terror, Harry becomes a living legend in the wizard world.

"And apparently in the muggle world as well," Harry pointed out

However, at the orders of his patron, the wizard Albus Dumbledore, the orphaned Harry is placed in the home of his unpleasant Muggle (non-wizard) relatives, who keep him safe but completely ignorant of his true heritage.[18]

'He put me there?' Harry thought furiously.

The first novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (changed in the U.S. to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), begins near Harry's 11th birthday. Half-giantRubeus Hagrid reveals Harry's history and introduces him to the wizarding world.[18]

"They forgot the tail," Harry pouted

"What tail?" asked Hermione.

"I'm sure it will be on one of these sights," he told her, as he didn't believe that he could do the story justice.

The world J. K. Rowling created is both completely separate from and yet intimately connected to the real world. While the fantasy world of Narnia is an alternative universe and the Lord of the Rings' Middle-earth a mythic past, the Wizarding world of Harry Potter exists alongside that of the real world and contains magical elements similar to things in the non-magical world.

"I love those books, maybe I should make you read them," Hermione muttered the last part.

Many of its institutions and locations are in places that are recognizable in the real world, such as London.[19] It comprises a fragmented collection of hidden streets, overlooked and ancient pubs, lonely country manors and secluded castles that remain invisible to the non-magical population of Muggles.[13]

"Well, no shit Sherlock, how else would we live without influence or influencing each other's worlds?" Hermione growled, she was in a bad mood because the books were out and obviously popular and she hadn't heard of them before.

With Hagrid's help, Harry prepares for and undertakes his first year of study at Hogwarts.

"Guys, I'm kind of tired of this sight, could we go to the next one, I want to see spoofs," said Harry

"Sure, it's not like we don't know what happened in first year," Hermione responded as she went back to Google.

"Type in, how well do you know harry potter, I want to see how well we do." Ron put in.
