Harry Potter: Hogwarts School
built 643 days ago
Harry had no birthday celebrations until the day he turned 11, which is the same day that he discovered the exceptional reality about his identity. The week of Harry's birthday, hundreds of letters began arriving at the Dursley's home, addressed to him from a place called Hogwarts. When the Dursleys saw the first letter was addressed as "cupboard under the stairs," they panicked at the thought of Harry's ill treatment being observed and transferred him to the "smallest bedroom."

[One] teaching tool found on the Scholastic website is the Harry Potter journals. Pastor Bob Coy of Calvary Chapel in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida tells of a public school teacher who looked into the journal of one of her 5th grade girl students, who wrote, “I’m a witch! You know you are a witch if you have dark spots on your private parts”. The ten year old child said she got the information out of one of the witchcraft books that she found on one of these web sites…after searching the internet for more information on Harry Potter.

Harry wird nach dem Tod seiner Eltern in die Fürsorge seiner nichtmagischen Tante Petunia, Lilys Schwester, und ihres Mannes Vernon Dursley übergeben. Die Dursleys stehen der magischen Welt ablehnend gegenüber, behandeln Harry sehr schlecht und versuchen, die Entwicklung seiner magischen Fähigkeiten zu verhindern. An Harrys elftem Geburtstag wird ihm von Rubeus Hagrid, dem Wildhüter und Schlüsselbewahrer der Zauberschule Hogwarts, die Einladung in das Internat überbracht. Erst jetzt erfährt er etwas über seine Herkunft, die Existenz der geheimen magischen Parallelwelt und seine eigenen Fähigkeiten als Zauberer.

What Harry has achieved on his own, without his mother, stems mostly from luck and, more often, inheritance. He's a trust-fund kid whose success at his school, Hogwarts, is largely attributable to the gifts his friends and relatives lavish upon him. (Coming soon: Frank Bruni's book, Ambling Into Hogwarts: The Unlikely Odyssey of Harry Potter.) A few examples: an enchanted map (made in part by his father), an invisibility cloak (his father's), and a state-of-the art magical broom (a gift from his godfather) that is the equivalent of a Lexus in a high-school parking lot.

In 1997, Harry vowed to leave Hogwarts in order to search for and destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes. He was joined by Ron and Hermione, who left their families to accompany him. They were forced to break numerous wizarding laws to accomplish their goal of destroying Lord Voldemort.

Rowling spent seventeen years writing the seven Harry Potter books. In a 2000 interview through Scholastic, her American publisher, Rowling stated that there is not a university after Hogwarts. With regards to the series continuing past book seven, she stated, "I won't say never, but I have no plans to write an eighth book."[20]
