History
The Harry Potter universe, often referred to as the wizarding world, is a magical reality parallel to our own, invisible to muggles (non-magical people) and teeming with witches, wizards, magical creatures, and enchanted artifacts. A story written by J.K. Rowling follows the life of Harry Potter, a young wizard at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who is unknowingly destined to defeat the darkest wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort.
The magical school of Hogwarts is divided into four houses, each representing a different value: Gryffindor for courage, Slytherin for ambition, Hufflepuff for loyalty, and Ravenclaw for wisdom. The story contains various magical elements such as spells, potions, invisibility cloaks and mysterious locations such as Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.
The universe expands beyond the Harry Potter series, with original films such as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them highlighting magical creatures and characters that predate Harry Potter. The Harry Potter universe continues to captivate audiences with its complex stories, complex characters and thrilling adventures.
