About Harry Potter- Harry Potter is the 'Boy That Lived'. Why? Because he somehow survived the wrarth of Lord Voldermort, the most feared dark wizard ever. Harry was sent to live with his only living relitives, the Dursleys. Why? Because the encounter with Lord Voldermort killed his parents. On Harry's 10th birthday Harry finds out that he is a wizard. A very famous wizard, even though he didn't know about it before Hagrid took him from the Dursley's into the wizarding world. Hogwarts- Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the magical school Harry goes to learn magic! Hogwarts is a castle built over one thousand years ago. It was formed by Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. And the 4 houses in them are named after them- Griffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. How do students get chosen to go into a house? By none other than the sorting hat. It can read your mind and find out what house you belong into. Griffindor for bravery, Hufflepuff for loyalty, Ravenclaw for intellegence and Slytherin for those who are ambitious. At Hogwarts the strange is considered normal and ghosts flying by wouldn't even be noticed. The headmaster is Albus Dumbledoor. Its at Hogwarts that Harry makes his first friends, Ron. Then Hermione. These three together saved a very important stone in their first year, to find out more read the books! Quidditch- Quidditch is a wizard sport. It is played on brooms. In quidditch there are 14 players (7 from each side), 7 balls (1 Quaffle, 2 Bludgers and the Golden Snitch) and 6 hoops (3 at either end, 50 feet high). The positions are- the keeper, 3 chasers, 2 beaters and the seeker. The keeper protects the quaffle going through the hoops. The chasers try to score goals with the quaffle by throwing it through the hoop (by doing this they score their team 10 points). The beaters try to hit the bludgers to the players on the other team. The last player, the seeker, tries to find and catch the elusive golden snitch (by catching this they earn their team 150 points and end the game). The Books- J.K. Rowling (full name is Joanne Rowling) has written four Harry Potter books. They are, in order, HARRY POTTER and the Philosopher's Stone, HARRY POTTER and the Chamber of Secrets, HARRY POTTER and the Prisoner of Azkaban and HARRY POTTER and the Goblet of Fire. Also to go with the Harry Potter books are FANTASTIC BEASTS & WHERE TO FIND THEM which is a text book belonging to Harry so it has some interesting comments. QUIDDITCH THROUGH THE AGES is a book from the Hogwarts (Harry's wizard school) library. These are very, very interesting, I suggest you read them.
