Harry Potter is a wizard who never knew anything about himself, his parents, or how he got a peculiar lightning scar on his forehead. His only living relatives the Dursley’s were Muggles (non-magical folk), who despised anything out of the ordinary. The Dursley’s had told Harry his parents had died in a car crash, and he had got his scar from that same crash! But on his 11th birthday Harry receives a letter from “Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry” delivered by a wizard name Rubeus Hagrid
. Hagrid tells Harry the real story about Harry. That Harry was a wizard and his parents had been murdered by the greatest sorcerer who ever lived Lord Voldemort
, mostly referred to as You-Know-Who, because everyone was still afraid of him! This is odd for Harry and Voldemort's wand share the same core, they both have a feather from the same Phoenix, the phoenix who only gave the feathers, Fawkes the pet of Albus Dumbeldore
. Harry has a pet owl, Hedwig, which was a birthday present from Hagrid. Harry goes off to Hogwarts and for the first time is popular, and he makes three great friends, Hermoine Granger
, Ron Weasley
, and Hagrid
