A young wizard armed with spells capable of causing mass destruction. A boy struggling to come to terms with his troubled past. A faithful person prepared to lay down his life for saving his friends. All these descriptions are applicable for Harry Potter, a character made immortal by the now legendary British author J.K. Rowling in a series of novels originally created for children.
Harry is a young boy whose parents died while trying to save him when he was a infant. A wizard named Voldemort was behind the slaughter of his parents and he cast the same curse on Harry that he killed his parents with. Miraculously, the curse rebounded off infant Harry (because of an enchantment placed on him by his mother before she succumbed to Voldemort's lethal curse) and killed Voldemort himself. Voldemort's spirit, however, remained trapped in the material plain, keeping him in a neither dead nor alive condition. All that Harry suffered from was a bolt shaped scar on his forehead. The wizard community is astounded to know this and name Harry as 'the boy who lived', since he was the only person ever to have survived Voldemort's curse. The enchantment that was placed on Harry is supposed to last until his seventeenth birthday; before that, no matter how hard Voldemort may try, Harry will remain immune to his curse.
Family
Orphaned at infancy, Harry is brought to his magic-phobic uncle Vemon Dursley and his family by half-giant Rubeus Hagrid, the caretaker for students at Hogwarts school of magic, the most influential training school for wizards in the Wizarding World, the Harry Potter universe. However, young Harry is thought of as being possessed by a demon by his uncle and family, because of his magical powers. They treat him with harshness and allow him to live in a claustrophobic closet under the stairs at their home on Privet Drive. As Harry approaches the age of eleven, he starts getting letters from Hogwarts School of Magic via trained owls. The letters contain instructions about how he should prepare himself for the initiation test at Hogwarts.
However, his uncle soon finds out about the letters and starts confiscating them so that harry could never realize his potential. When he finds out that the letters will keep coming no matter how many times he grabs them, his uncle moves with his family and Harry to a deserted island just off the coast. That does not stop Rubeus Hagrid from breaking into the house on Harry's eleventh birthday. He informs Harry in front of his terrified uncle that Harry has well chosen for the initiation test at Hogwarts and hands him the letter containing instructions for preparation. Harry is mystified to find out about his magical origin. Rubeus explains that ordinary Muggles (the race of the people in Harrry Potter universe) cannot learn magic; wizardry is an ability that can only be acquired through birthright. He explains to Harry the true reason for his parents ' deaths. Following a long hard stare at his frightened uncle and his family, Rubeus leads young Harry away from his uncle's family and to Hogwarts. The Dean of the school, old Dumbledore takes special interest in young Harry'spotential and assigns Harry to the exercises requiring greater concentration and intelligence than other students. Solving these tougher challenges Harry to hone his enables abilities as a much quicker than other wizard students.
