Why haven't I thought of this???

I wonder why this took so long for me to post, but I just remembered. This series is one of my all time FAVORITE series of all time. I believe I am speaking for over half the world when I say this, so here we go!!!

What would happen if around your eleventh birthday, you get a mysterious letter addressed to you from a place you only thought existed in your wildest dreams? What would you do if a giant came and told you your fate? Well, this is what happened to Harry Potter. He lives with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. He never knew his parents and he was never told the truth about how they died. On his eleventh birthday, a giant (named Rubius Hagrid) came to Harry and told him that he was a wizard. Harry also learned the truth about his parents; They were murdered by a Dark wizard named Lord Voldemort (or You-Know-Who) and when You-Know-Who tried to kill Harry, he couldn't and he "died." This made Harry the most famous person in the wizarding world. This was a shock to Harry. Harry never had any friends and other non-magic people (or Muggles) thought he was weird. When Harry started at Hogwarts, he met two people, Ron Weasley (who is a pure-blood), the youngest boy of seven children, the youngest being his younger sister, and Hermione Granger, a Muggle-born whose parents are dentists. (Harry is a half-blood, with his mother being Muggle-born and his father being pure-blood) All three of them are in Godric Griffindor's house. He also meets his worst enemy; Draco Malfoy who is a pure-blood and whose whole family (other than his mother's cousin) has been is the worst house ever; The Slytherin house.
In this series of seven books, Harry, Ron, and Hermione play through a giant game of Wizard's Chess, battle a giant snake, learn the truth about a mass murderer who is innocent, fight against Lord Voldemort himself with his band of followers called Death Eaters, and save the wizarding world. I HIGHLY recommend this series to everyone out there. I know people who hate to read, but Harry Potter is the best. These books are one of the world's top selling series ever.
This series includes Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's (or Philosopher's in Britain) Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Enjoy reading!!
