Harry Potter



Harry Potter is a sekuel about magic. This sekuel was created by Joanne Kathlen Rowling. The idea of this story was began when she got on the train from Manchaster to London. In a crowded situation she got an idea. She imagined a boy that has disorder black hair and wears glasses. He did not realize that he was a witch. When J. K. Rowling was a child, she and her family moved to Winterboune, Bristol, England. She got many friends. One of her friends has family’s name, Potter. Then she used that name as family’s name of little witch in her imagination.



There are seven stories about Harry Potter. First is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the second is Harry Potter and the Chamber of the Secrets, the third is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the fourth is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fifth is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and the last is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. There are the films also about each story of Harry Potter. But in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ film, devide into two films Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II. The genre of the films are can be adventure, fantasy or mystery. Those films always includes in box office movies. David Yates has been being the director of three last films.

Those films are starring Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ronald Weasley, Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, Michael Gambon as Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort, Robbie Coltrane as Rubeus Hagrid, Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom, Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy, Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood, Katie Leung as Cho Chang, Alan Rickman as Severus Snape, Gary Oldman as Sirius Black, Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange, Bonnie Wright as Ginny Weasley, Jessie Cave as Lavender Brown, James and Oliver Phelps as Fred and George Weasley, Jason Issacs as Lucius Malfoy, etc.

So who is Harry Potter?

Harry Potter is a boy that has talented being a witch. People who haven’t talented being witch called muggle. He is James and Lily Potter’s son. Harry was brave, charming, currious, and sometimes naughty. Unfortunately when he was a baby, his parents was killed by Voldemort. So he lived at Privet Drive no.4, Little Winging, Surrey with his uncle (uncle Vernon), aunt Petunia, and his cousin (Dursley). Aunt Petunia was Lily Potter’s sister. But they were cruel to Harry.

When Harry was 11 years old he got a letter from Hogwarts (magic school). The headmaster of Hogwarts was Albus Dumbledore. There were four classes in Hogwarts, Griffindor, Huflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. At Hogwarts he got into Griffindor Class. He got new friends and best friends too. His best friends were Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Hermione was the cleverest student in Hogwarts, she also beautiful. But one of the teachers in Hogwarts was wicked to Harry. But in fact he really loved Harry Potter and he always protects Harry from the Dark Lord.

Harry had a pet, names Hedwig. Hedwig was a female owl. She has white fur. Hedwig was a gift from Hagrid when Harry had the eleventh birthday. Hedwig could send letter or gift, she has mother’s soul to Harry Potter. But she had low opinion of others owl and yelling when she got angry.



Most of the witches called him “You-Know-Who” or “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named”. Moreover his follower just called him “The Dark Lord”. J.K. Rowling often apparance dialog between Harry and Dumbledore just for reveal who was Voldemort actually. Voldemort was wily, wicked, and cruel. He could kill someone with unforgiven spell “Avada Kedavra”. He was great witch and hates muggle very much and Mudbloods too (half blood between muggle and witch). Voldemort’s name came from anagram “Tom Marvolo Riddle”, he made his new name to forget his past that sadden. His parents were death and he lived in orphanage. The smart Voldemort devided his soul into seven part and saved it into Horcux (things that can save the piece of the soul) for make him live forever.



Between Harry and Voldemort had special relation because when Harry was a baby, Voldemort tried to kill him but Harry’s mother protected him as strong as she could. Fortunately Harry was alive and Voldemort couldn’t kill him but Harry had a scar in his forehead because of Voldemort. And when his scar feels pain he realized that Voldemort was appear. One thing that Voldemort really scared was the death.

And to kill Voldemort, Harry needed to broke all the Voldemort’s Horcux ...
