The novels are very much in the fantasy genre; however, in many respects they are also a bildungsroman, a novel of education set in Hogwarts School, a British boarding school for wizards, where the curriculum includes use of magic and brewing potions. The main character, a boy named Harry Potter is an orphan who lives with his cruel relatives, the Dursleys, initially kept in ignorance of his magical heritage - the Dursleys despise his "unnaturalness". However as his eleventh birthday approaches, Harry has his first contact with the magical world when he is notified by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that he is in fact a wizard and has been chosen to attend.

I started reading the Harry Potter books sometime after I saw Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone at the cinema.
I've read all of the books that are out so far; and plan on reading the seventh as soon as it comes out.
I've also seen all the moies except for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It ame out in theaters on Thanksgiving Day 2005 and we had to save money for Christmas. I would still like to see it though.
I tried downloading it from 360 Share, but the version I downloaded was a dud.
Here is a complete list of all the books in the Harry Potter series.
