Harry+Potter+Series

Main Characters

 * Harry Potter: Harry Potter is the hero of the stories. His parents were killed in a big battle in the wizard world and he was raised by mugggles (those are non-magic people). He has a scar on his forehead that looks like a lightening bolt. Even though he is only seven years old in the first book, he is very famous in the wizarding world and everyone thinks he will be the most powerful wizard when he gets older.
 * Hermione Granger: Hermione is one of Harry's best friends. But when they first meet they don't like each other at all! Hermione is a "mudblood"--she was born to muggles. Hermione is very smart and works hard in school.
 * Ron Weasley: Ron is Harry's other best friend. He comes from a very big wizard family. They all have red hair. Sometimes Ron makes a lot of mistakes, but he is very loyal to Harry.
 * Albus Dumbledore: Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts, which is the wizard school that Harry, Hermione, and Ron go to. He is one of the most powerful good wizards in the wizarding world.
