Harry Potter: All About The Fictional Character

The main story arc concerns Harry's conflict with Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who intends to become immortal, overthrow the wizard governing body known as the Ministry of Magic, and subjugate all wizards and Muggles (non-magical people). The Harry Potter series was originally published in English by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom and Scholastic Press in the United States.

The world of Harry Potter explores numerous themes including fantasy, drama, coming-of-age fiction, and the British school story and includes many cultural meanings and references. Since the release of the first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, on June 26, 1997, the books have found immense popularity, positive reviews, and commercial success worldwide.

The novels fall into the genre of fantasy literature, and qualify as a type of fantasy called ‘urban fantasy’. They have attracted a wide adult audience as well as younger readers and are widely considered cornerstones of modern literature. Warner Bros. Pictures adapted the original seven books into an eight-part namesake film series.
