Harry Potter Box Set

Harry Potter attends Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry, where he studies magic in a world of witches, wizards, spells and magical creatures. Over the books he also plays Quidditch, a sport flown on broomsticks, with goals scored through hoops while a player hunts the magical snitch.

Hovering over all of it is Voldemort, the dark wizard many will not name aloud. He killed Harry's parents, and he keeps returning to attack Harry again and again. Harry comes to see that Voldemort cannot simply be beaten in a fight, and that only one way to kill him exists.

The path to that answer runs through private lessons with Professor Dumbledore. In them Harry learns who Voldemort was before the killings, why he killed, and how he is still alive, though he now looks barely human, with snake eyes and slits for nostrils.

This is a box set of the series, a fantasy that mixes school life with a long fight against one enemy. It pairs everyday lessons and sport with a darker thread of loss and pursuit, and the mystery of Voldemort's past drives it forward from book to book.
