Protaganist of a best-selling series of books by JK Rowling. It deals with the his adventures in an alternate universe where magic exists. He fights against the bad guy Voldemort, who killed his parents and wishes to annhilate all the Muggles(i.e- non-magic poeple). Often described as "kiddy books", they are actually very, very well written. The plot is intriguing and quite insightful. It can be read by both kids and adults as it appeals to the two factions on different levels. While most kids think the magic and the fairytale-like aspects are cool, adults can appreciate and relate to the many moralistic debates it brings up.
The movies are complete shite though and rather painful to watch, though. So let's not even go there.

A series about a boy wizard and the sexual tension between him and his enemy Draco Malfoy and is the easiest to write slash about.

1. A well-written series of books by author J.K. Rowling which are, in fact, quite easy to become obsessively absorbed in.
2. A young wizard with obviously round glasses and a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead, put there by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named on his first birthday. Also has unruly black hair and green eyes.
3. See brilliance.

1. "I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the 15th time!"
2. "Stop impersonating Harry Potter, Vicky."

A great series,that for some reason illiterate people like to compare to Lord of the Rings (while never reading either of the two series).No,it's not just for kids.true,the original plot line is directed to a younger audience, but there are plenty of older,more adult themes in all of the books.
Stupid Person:omg,lyke hary pott3rzz sooo gay!itz lyke a tottal ripoff of loTH!!!
Intelligent person who has read both series:Umm...no it's not.And Harry Potter is a completely different book from Lord of The Rings,even if they have similarities.
Stupid Person:*drool*

A messed up wizard who clearly has some mental problems. The books are brilliantly written, but, seriously... Harry obviously has some problems he needs to clear up with Dr. Phil, or something. TAKE SOME FIGGIN' VIAGRA, RICH BOY!!!!

An average series of books that has made an astounding amount of money for it's author, JK Rowling. Though the books aren't bad, they lack originality... it's just chiché after cliché with a few "original" ideas that are completely random and have nothing to do with anything else.
The "Harry Potter" series shows a very obvious decline in JK Rowling's writing... the first one is moderately good, the second is OK, the third is average, and by the end of the series, JK Rowling is getting so full of herself that she attempts to sell the books by their popularity instead of adding actual content.

The latter books in the "Harry Potter" series are so think that they could probably have the pages ripped out and an entire unabridged dictionary could fit in the binding with room to spare.
