In the final book, Harry, Ron and Hermione do not return to Hogwarts for their final and seventh year of wizard training. They continue out what Dumbledore would have wanted them to do: find and destroy the rest of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, which are the only things keeping him alive.  During their journey, they do the unthinkable, and learn more about Voldemort and themselves. Throughout the whole book many innocent lives are taken, some are even unbearable to believe. Also, Harry and his friends learn about the Deathly Hallows from the book ‘The Tales of Beedle the Bard’, and they think that Voldemort might be trying to obtain the most valuable Hallow. In the end, there is the final battle at Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, Hermione, their friends, the Order, and the teachers find the strength to fight until the end.</p>

In this sixth installment of Harry Potter’s life, the war with Voldemort is not going well at all. People check the newspapers daily to see if they recognize any names. Even the Muggle governments notice something’s not right. Dumbledore is taking many prolonged absents from Hogwarts. Also, the Order of the Phoenix is suffering loses. </p>
<p>But life still goes on. Teenagers in Hogwarts flirt, fight and fall in love. Sixth year students are beginning to  learn to Apparate. The Weasley twins are expanding their joke shop business. Harry receives help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince’s Potions book for his class. With Dumbledore, and the help of Ron and Hermione, Harry will search and find the true, full and difficult story of Lord Voldemort when he was younger, hopefully to find what could possibly defeat him in the end.</p>

Harry’s fifth year at Hogwarts has finally arrived, and there are many things he isn’t looking forward to. Well, first of all, there was an incident over the summer involving some dementors in his Muggle neighborhood. But, in this year at Hogwarts, the fifth years have to take the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams. And they aren’t so easy, considering there is a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, (again), who works for the Ministry and is about as sweet as poison. </p>
<p>Also, there is the growing danger of the He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. As Harry and his friends prepare for what they know is going to come, and trying to prove the Ministry wrong, he finds loyalty and strength in his friends. In the end, Harry faces an unbearable sacrifice, and the foreboding feeling that everything is only going to get worse.</p>

Harry and is friends are entering their fourth year at Hogwarts, and everything is changing, and change isn’t in favor of the good. They all attend the Quidditch World Cup in the summer, and after the match, Death Eaters invade the camp and send up the Dark Mark, Voldemort’s symbol, into the sky. That can only mean one thing: Voldemort is out there and is gaining strength.</p>
<p>To make things even more complicated, this year at Hogwarts isn’t a normal year. This year Hogwarts will be hosting the Tri-Wizard Tournament, where one student from the three magical schools around the world competes against each other to win the grand money prize. But, one flaw, you have to be seventeen to compete. Somehow, Harry gets mixed into all of this, an innocent life is taken, and the return of someone no one ever wanted to see again is made.</p>

During his third year at Hogwarts, Harry’s experience is much different than it was the previous years. First of all, he has a new, mysterious Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, who used to be friends with his father. Also, Mr. Weasley, Ron’s father, informs Harry that he isn’t safe anymore. The mass-murderer, Sirius Black, who was locked up in Azkaban for twelve years has escaped and is after him.</p>
<p>Harry, his friends and almost everyone at Hogwarts isn’t safe at all. There is nothing they can do, except keep the school under watch by the dementors. Although they have taken all the precautions to keep the students and the school safe, there is a traitor in their midst that can ruin it all.</p>

In his second year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter faces more problems. Well, first of all, while he is at his aunt and uncle’s over the summer, he receives a visit from a mysterious house elf. The elf, Dobby, tells Harry that is dangerous to return to Hogwarts. Harry, of course, ignores this warning, and has Ron and his brothers break him out of the Dursley’s house.</p>
<p>And in the end, Dobby the elf is right about Hogwarts not being safe anymore. Something strange is turning the Muggleborn students to stone. No one has any idea who it is, or why it’s happening.  Then, Harry and his friends find the puzzling diary of Tom Riddle. In the diary lays the secrets to everything that’s been happening. In the end, Harry learns more about the evil man who is after his life, saves an innocent life, and realizes that he can’t give up. </p>

This is the first book in the amazing Harry Potter series. What can I possibly say? This series is my all-time favorite. J.K. Rowling is an amazing writer.</p>
<p>In the beginning of this book, young Harry Potter is living with his cruel Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and cousin Dudley. He wishes he could escape from this terrible place. He hates them, and they hate him. On his 11th birthday, Harry receives a visit from a special guest, telling him that he is a wizard and the story about his deceased parents. Harry then realizes why weird things have been happening, and why his aunt and uncle isolate him from others.</p>
<p>Harry then goes to Hogwarts, where he discovers friendship, magic and acceptance. But, being Harry Potter, nothing is easy. He learns about Voldemort, who tried to kill him when he was younger. He was the one who killed his parents. Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione search for the Sorcerer’s Stone, which they think Voldemort is after. In the end, Harry finds out how powerful he really is.</p>
