So You Never Read Harry Potter?

Blimey! What a bloke you are! Reading the Harry Potter is a wonderful experience! It takes you to a world of wizards, witches, mythical creatures, and yes spells. This young boy wizard has cast a spell on people everywhere and will continue to charm people everywhere for generations to come. Despite the fact that Professor Albus Dumbledore died in the sixth book and Sirius died in the fifth book, let us just say Harry has to survive alone and face the Dark Lord Voldemort himself.

The Harry Potter series begins with the cruel murder of Lily and James Potter on October 31, 1981 by the Dark Lord Voldemort himself. After murdering Lily and James, Voldemort turns his wand onto their infant son, Harry, and somehow the curse backfires and eventually Voldemort vanishes, making Harry Potter "The Boy Who Lived" and somewhat famous in the Wizarding world.

Several years later, Harry is raised by his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon and Cousin Dudley. They are his only family yet they treat him differently. But all that changes on his 11th birthday when a giant named Rubeus Hagrid comes to his house and tells him who he is.

Harry learns that an evil Dark Wizard murdered his witch mother and wizard father when he was only one and with the help of his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger he will have to avenge his parents' death and kill Voldemort.

Sound interesting, eh, Muggle? Well, you should read it and believe for yourself. That will be all.
