About "Harry Potter"

The Harry Potter series has seven books. It is about a boy, Harry, who, in his eleventh birthday, discovers the truth about himself: he is a wizard and his parents were killed by the worst dark wizard ever. From this day his life changes completely, and he goes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - the most famous magic school -, where he meets his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. And the great adventure begins.
