Harry Potter is also known in the wizard world as 'the boy who lived'. He is the only survivor of Lord Voldemort's reign of darkness. Surprisingly, he even managed to destroy the dark wizard at the young age of one or at least that is what most wizards think. Unfortunately, his parents, James and Lily Potter weren't as fortunate and Harry was orphaned. He went to live with his muggle relatives the Dursleys,(Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley). They made his life miserable.

At age 11 he was called to attended Hogworts Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hagrid came to get him, and begin his life as a wizard. The books chronicle his time there.
