J.K. Rowling first thought of Harry while riding a train back in 1990. "Harry just strolled into my head fully formed."
She worked on the book for several years, finding quiet moments while her daughter slept. Several publishers turned down the
finished manuscript before one took interest. Harry Potter's magic has since touched a huge audience of all ages all over
the world. In America alone there are over 100 million books in print, and each title has been No.1 on bestseller lists.This
site lists, in cronological order, all seven of the Harry Potter books with a short review; with all of the books on
sale at Amazon.com. There is also details of all of the Harry potter DVDs currently available. We have also added details
of a number of other books about Harry Potter and associated subjects.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone
The first
book of the series, which has the alternative title "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone". Harry potter was an unhappy
child, living with his hideous foster family, the Dursleys. But his miserable existence changed one day when a letter arrived, revealing to him a fact that apparently
he’s the last to know. His parents were wizards, killed by a dark lord’s curse when Harry was just a baby; and he, somehow survived. Harry left home to become a student at Hogwarts, a wizarding school brimming with ghosts and enchantments. It’s
always hard to start at a new school; now imagine that a wand and a cauldron are on your school supply list, and everyone
knows everything about you before you arrive. In fact, you’re not only the most famous person in the school, you’re
the most famous wizard in the world! Almost immediately Harry
stumbled upon a sinister adventure when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor. Then he hears of a
missing stone with astonishing powers which could be valuable, dangerous, or both. That’s just
how Harry Potter started his first year at Hogwarts — that’s
just the beginning! Can you imagine what will happen next? Join the thrills, laughs, and adventure with Harry and his best friends Ron and Hermione.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter is lucky to have reached the age of thirteen, since he has survived
the murderous attacks of the feared dark wizard Voldemort three times. But his hopes for a quiet term concentrating on playing
Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer, Sirius Black – who also happens to be Harry 's godfather, escapes
from Azkaban prison; pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It's assumed that Hogwarts castle is the
safest place for Harry to be. Is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking
Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously? Who is a friend and who is a foe?

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The fourth
book in the series. It is the summer holidays, and one night Harry Potter wakes up with his scar burning. He has had a strange dream, one that he can't
help worrying about … until a timely invitation from Ron Weasley arrives - to nothing less than the Quidditch World
Cup. Soon Harry is reunited with Ron and Hermione and gasping at the thrills of
an international Quidditch match. But then the Quidditch World Cup is disrupted by Voldemort’s rampaging supporters
and the terrifying Dark Mark is resurrected, it is obvious to Harry that,
far from failing, Voldemort is getting stronger. The ultimate symbol to the magic world of the evil Lord’s return would
be if the one and only survivor of his death curse, Harry Potter, could finally
be beaten. Then someone frames Harry to compete in a dangerous interschool wizarding competition meant
for far more mature students — he knows that rather than win it, he just has to get through the trials alive. And
just when he thought being 14 couldn’t get any worse — he has to attend a dance, and invite a girl!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
The seventh
and final book of the series. It all comes down to basics - the final faceoff between good and evil. Harry
plans to pull out all the stops, but every time he solves one mystery, three more evolve. Should he stay the
course he started, despite his seemingly lack of progress? Should he detour and follow a new lead that
may not help? Do should he listen to his instincts, or to his friends?
Lord Voldemort is preparing for battle and so must Harry. With Ron and Hermione at his side, he's
trying to hunt down Voldemort's Horcruxes, escaping danger at every turn, and find a way to defeat evil once and for all.
How does it all end?
