The Harry Potter franchise consists of eight movies based on J.K. Rowling’s seven novels. Within this magical series, fans are transported into the world of witches and wizards that coincide with the muggle world.
In the first movie, an orphaned boy named Harry Potter finds out he’s a wizard on his 12th birthday which changes his world forever. During his first year at the wizarding school of Harry Potter, he befriends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger who become an inseparable trio. Each year at Hogwarts brings new dangerous circumstances to the trio, as Harry Potter must come to terms with his connection to a dark wizard known as Lord Voldemort, the same wizard who killed his parents and left Harry with a legendary lightning bolt scar.
