Harry+Potter

=//Harry Potter//=

by J.K. Rowling
Okay, if anyone my age hasn't read this series by now I will seriously cry. This remains one of my favorite series and I have reread each book at least once. For those of you who have not read it, the series is about a boy named Harry Potter who is a wizard and who when he was a baby, escaped the killing curse that was cast upon him by He Who Must Not Be Named or Lord Voldemort after Voldemort killed Harry's parents. Harry escaped with only a lightening shaped scar. Lord Voldemort disappeared and Harry, being an orphan, was left in the care of his cruel aunt and uncle and equally cruel cousin Dudley. The series follows this boy as he journeys through his years at Hogwarts (a school for witch craft and wizardry) and narrowly escapes Voldemort each time. From being locked in a cupboard by his aunt and uncle and forced to do chores and be neglected to the very end (which of course I can't tell you if you haven't read the series.) Hope you enjoy my recommendation and I hope you like the series! Happy Reading! -Mara Kissinger, 8th grade

Definitely a brilliant series. The movies are also good, but read the books first. One or two of the movies are a little boring. -Aidan
