Harry Potter

An orphaned boy with a lightning-bolt shaped scar on his right temple. After surviving the Killing Curse cast by Lord Voldemort, Harry was placed in the care of the Dursleys, his aunt, uncle, and cousin, who do not tell Harry about his magical abilities. On his eleventh birthday, Harry learns he's a wizard and is sent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the greatest magical school in Britain. There, he meets Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as well as a host of other characters, and begins his life's journey. Harry Potter, the series, was written by JK Rowling. Though many people say the plot is unoriginal, JK's story of Harry is well-written, and not as one-dimensional as many people express it to be. Harry Potter, or abbreviated as HP, was almost ruined by the cast of directors who decided to make the highly succcessful books a movie series. Not only stripping the movies of all the good parts, messing up the dialogue, and having flat, unconvincing actors, the movie-makers seem to have made the movies only for the profit that the millions of avid HP fans would give them. Needless to say, the movies were a complete letdown.
