Harry
Potter 1-7
Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels
written by the British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures
of a wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger,
all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The
main story arc concerns Harry's quest to overcome the Dark wizard Lord
Voldemort, whose aims are to become immortal, conquer the wizarding world,
subjugate non-magical people, and destroy all those who stand in his way,
especially Harry Potter.
Since the release of the first novel Harry Potter and
the Philosopher's Stone on 30 June 1997, the books have gained immense
popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide.The series
has also had some share of criticism, including concern for the increasingly
dark tone. As of June 2011, the book series has sold about 450 million copies,
making it the best-selling books series in history and has been translated into
67 languages, and the last four books consecutively set records as the
fastest-selling books in history.
The initial major publishers of the books were
Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom and Scholastic Press in the United States. The
books have since been published by many publishers worldwide. The books, with
the seventh book split into two parts, have been made into an eight-part film
series by Warner Bros. Pictures, the highest-grossing film series of all time.
The series also originated much tie-in merchandise, making the Harry Potter
brand worth in excess of $15 billion.[10] Also due to the success of the books
and films, Harry Potter has been used for theme parks such as The Wizarding
World of Harry Potter in Universal Parks & Resorts's Islands of Adventure.
