Harry Potter

by J.K. Rowling

An orphan discovers he's a wizard, escapes his miserable life with the Dursleys, and enters Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry — where friendships, ancient magic, and the shadow of a dark lord named Voldemort await. Seven books trace Harry Potter from wide-eyed eleven-year-old to battle-tested seventeen-year-old, through a magical world hidden in plain sight within our own.

130 characters, locations, and items in this world codex.
