These are a set of fabulous books about a young boy who discovers that he is a wizard and is to attend the premier school for wizards in the world. Harry Potter doesn't know it, but he is already famous, having survived and attack by a supremely evil wizard who killed his parents.
Being among wizards for the first time in his life (having been raised by humans - "Muggles" to the wizard community) - is quite a shock to Harry but glorious adventures await for him and his new friends.
Though written for the youth set, I enjoyed these books (and I am a looong way from my teens). The humor is wonderful and the action is intense. While they are a quick read, you will savor every word!
