This series of books have been somewhat controversial as they incorporate magic into the storyline, which makes lots of religions very nervous. Harry Potters life is chronicled from birth to his late teens. We learn early that he is the orphan of magical parents, who are killed by the villain Voldemort, and who when trying to kill Harry as a very young baby is turned into a powerless small creature who must fight to regain his powers. This series is not for the faint of heart and it has captured the attention of millions of young and old. There are many great life lessons in the book and we watch Harry Potter, battle his past and the expectations of the whole wizarding world in conjunction with typical adolescent problems..
