Harry Potter Games

Imagine a castle that is actually a school, filled with moving staircases, where the students play a sport while flying on broomsticks. Imagine a boy who is the hero of an entire world is does not know about, and is destined to face an evil wizard who is bent on domination. This is the story that J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series brings to life.

How Did J.K. Rowling End Up Writing The Harry Potter Novels?

The idea for Harry Potter fell into Rowling's lap one week when she was on a train, returning back to London. The idea was that she would be writing about a black-haired, bespectacled, little, scrawny book, but somehow that boy became more and more of a wizard to her, and that very evening she started writing the first novel of the Harry Potter series. The death of Rowling's mother left her with a lot of anguish and pain that she managed to cope with by continuing to write about the orphan Harry and ultimately completing the novel that would turn out to be a distinctive fantasy, nothing like other fantasy novels that had been read until that time

What Is The Harry Potter Series All About?

For those of you who do not know, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the first novel of the series introduces the orphan Harry who lives with his uncle, aunt and their abominable son, the Dursleys.

One day before Harry's eleventh birthday, he and the Dursleys are visited by the gigantic Hagrid. He tells Harry that he is a wizard, just like his deceased parents, who died while protecting him from Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who gave Harry the lighting-bolt scar on his forehead while trying to kill him.

After deciding to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry goes with Hagrid to buy his school supplies at Diagon Alley, including a wand for himself. At King's Cross Station, Harry looks for Platform 9A and then boards the Hogwarts Express, where he meets Ron Weasley and Hermoine Graner, two fellow students who become Harry's closest friends. Harry also ends up finding an arch nemesis of his own in the form of another fellow student, Draco Malfoy.

Albus Dumbledore, a great wizard is the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where the Sorting Hat assigns Harry to Gryffindor, one of the houses at Hogwarts. At Hogwarts, Harry learns to play Quidditch, a wizarding sport played on flying brooms, and eventually becomes the youngest Seeker, an important position on a Quidditch team.

Professor Severus Snape is the Potions professor at Hogwarts, who displays an abiding and deep dislike for Harry. Professor Quirrell is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, who always appears to be nervous. Harry also ends up battling and defeating a mountain troll, helping raise a dragon, and exploring the fascinating, wonderful world of Hogwarts.

Harry continues pondering about why Lord Voldemort had tried to kill him and slowly, he unravels the mysteries of the time when he first encountered Voldemort. However, little does Harry Potter know that Lord Volemort is still out there and is looking for a legendary object referred to as the Sorcerer's Stone...
