Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling.

The main story arc concerns Harry’s friendships with other wizards of his age, such as Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and also with Hogwarts director Albus Dumbledore, considered the greatest of wizards, and his conflicts with the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, who intends to become immortal, conquer the wizarding world, subdue non-magical people and destroy all those who stand in his way, especially Harry Potter, whom he considers his greatest rival.
