'''Harry Potter''' is the hero of a series of novels written by [[J. K. Rowling]]. Harry is an orphan child who finds that he is a wizard. Potter then goes to Hogwarts, a boarding school for young wizards, and has many adventures there learning magic and using it to fight the forces of the evil Lord Voldemort who killed Potter's parents when he was an infant. Along inAlong the way, Potter learns about life and death and grapples with questions of morality and friendship. As of 2007, the series is projected to consist of seven novels, of which six have been published, with the seventh to be released in July of 2007.  J. K. Rowling criticizes witch-hunting mentioning that witches used to enjoy being burnt up so much they used to let themselves get caught many times. She ridicules humans by calling them muggles and mud-bloods in her novels. She keeps on mentioning how stupid they are in trying to ignore magic and her example of a human family is the Dursley's. Vernon Dursley is a very fat man, his son Dudley breath is more than his height, while his wife Petunia is described as a bony eavesdropping woman. In truth like a true christian family when they find out that Harry Potter uses magic and can talk to snakes they try to take the ability out him and try to protect him from company of witches and wizards. In every book they are ridiculed and talked down by witches and wizards making it a standard joke in the books. The books which are written so far are 1. Harry Potter and the Soceror's stone 2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets 3. Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azcaban 4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire 5. Harry Potter and the Order of Pheonix 6. Harry Potter and the half-blood prince 7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ( To be released on July 27th, 2007) 
The books have been fabulously successful, selling three hundred million copies, and Forbes estimates that they have made Rowling a billionnaire, the first billion-dollar author in history.<ref>[http://www.forbes.com/maserati/billionaires2004/cx_jw_0226rowlingbill04.html J.
