Harry Potter (fictional character)

Highlights
Harry Potter (fictional character)

Harry Potter is the central character -- a boy wizard -- in a series of seven books by British author J.K. Rowling. She wrote the novels, which were initially for children but gained wide appeal worldwide over a 17-year period. The first was published in June 1997, and the final one hit the shelves in July 2007.

There have been more than 325 million copies of the books sold worldwide. Rowling has become the first billionaire author in history.

The books' titles are (in chronological order): Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (but Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States); Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets; Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaba...  Show more »

There have been more than 325 million copies of the books sold worldwide. Rowling has become the first billionaire author in history.

The books' titles are (in chronological order): Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (but Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States); Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets; Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince; and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The first five books have been made into successful motion pictures with the sixth due in theaters in late 2008. The movies follow Harry (played by Daniel Radcliffe) through his education at Hogwarts, a school of magic located in Scotland. Other actors in the films include Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, John Cleese, Gary Oldman and Ralph Fiennes.

In 2007, Universal Orlando announced plans to add a major Harry Potter area to its Islands of Adventure theme park. It will be known as "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" and is set to be completed in late 2009 or early 2010, with cooperation of Rowling and the movies' set designer, Stuart Craig.  « Show less

  1. Mount Hebron teacher nominated for NAACP Image Award

    Children's book author Jerdine Nolen remembers the first time she saw her name in print. As a second-grader, she wrote a Thanksgiving poem that was published in the school newspaper, and she kept her eyes glued to the pink publication while walking home.

  8. Like/dislike: Kathryn Carlson

    For Kathryn Carlson, the holidays are not just about family, food and gifts &mdash; they&rsquo;re also about dance. The 30-year-old native of Somers Point, N.J., joined the Ballet Theatre of Maryland in 2003 as an apprentice dancer after graduating from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Just one year later, Carlson was promoted to company member. Since then, she has performed roles such as Katrina in &ldquo;The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,&rdquo; Guinevere in &ldquo;Excalibur&rdquo; and the title role in &ldquo;Cinderella.&rdquo; As Carlson begins her ninth season with BTM, you can see her dancing multiple parts including Clara, Snow Queen and Arabian in their annual performance of &ldquo;The Nutcracker&rdquo; this weekend. Here, she talks to b about everything from local music to her greatest inspiration.

    The very best movies of the past year went back to the earliest years of cinema for their subject matter, but 100 or so years amount to just a few film frames when you consider that some of the other movies in this 10-best list went back to the dawn of time for their stories.

  12. Breaking Dawn movie reviews

    I think it's a rip-off to break the book into two parts, but critics don't seem to mind. And I'm sure die-hard fans won't.
