Harry Potter


Harry Potter is the best film I have ever seen, a series of fantasy novels written by J.K Rowling, which were taken to the big screen. Besides, success played an important role in this big phenomenon.
The story starts with the unrestrained celebration of a normally-secretive wizarding world which for many years had been terrorised by Lord Voldemort. The previous night, Voldemort had discovered the refuge of the hidden Potter family, and killed Lily and James Potter. However, when he attempted to kill Harry, the Avada Kedavra killing curse rebounded upon him, and Voldemort was destroyed, becoming nothing more than a spirit: neither dead nor alive. Harry, meanwhile, was left with a distinctive lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead, the only physical sign of Voldemort's curse. Harry's mysterious defeat of Voldemort results in him being dubbed "The Boy Who Lived" by the wizarding community.
The following night, a wizard (Hagrid) delivers Harry to what will be his residence for many years afterward. The orphaned Harry is raised by his cruel, non-magical relatives, the Dursleys who, hide his magical heritage and give him severe punishments after several strange occurrences.However, as his eleventh birthday approaches, Harry has his first contact with the magical world when he receives letters from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which are taken from him by his Aunt and Uncle before he has a chance to read them.
On his eleventh birthday he is informed by Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, that he is in fact a wizard and has been invited to attend Hogwarts. Each movie chronicles one year in Harry's life, which is mostly spent at Hogwarts, where he learns to use magic and brew potions. Harry also learns to overcome many magical, social, and emotional obstacles as he struggles through his adolescence, Voldemort's rise to power and the Ministry of Magic's consistent denials of Voldemort's threat for a whole year.

In my opinion Harry Potter is a delightful story, it gives you the idea of how a magical world could be. It is also a trapping story and worth recommending. This story is not only for young children but adults would like to be part of this magical world as well.

Hi!
We like it a lot, as you!
We think that it is an interesting story, but it is no real.
The character we like more is Harry because he is a brave boy.

Cheers

I think like leandro in some things an some i desagree. I like te 4 firsts books of Harry Potter, but the others in my opinion are not so good and I heard that in the last book J.K.Rowlling "kill" Harry for no one continue the storry. I think that all the persons that like Harry Potter will say that is wrong and she would have to came Harry to live again like Arthur Conan Doyle dose with Sherlock Holmes.

Hi!
In our opinion Harry Potter is an spectacular story. We saw all the films and we think that they are perfect. For us it's better readind the book before seeing the film. The book explain more the story than the film!
