1) HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE
source : http://cinespia.org/event/harry-potter-sorcerers-stone/
Harry Potter is the most miserable, lonely boy you can
imagine. He’s shunned by his relatives, the Dursley’s, that have raised him
since he was an infant. He’s forced to live in the cupboard under the stairs,
forced to wear his cousin Dudley’s hand-me-down clothes, and forced to go to
his neighbour’s house when the rest of the family is doing something fun. Yes,
he’s just about as miserable as you can get.
Harry’s world gets turned upside down on his 11th birthday,
however. A giant, Hagrid, informs Harry that he’s really a wizard, and will
soon be attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry also learns
that, in the wizarding world, he’s a hero. When he was an infant, the evil Lord
Voldemort killed his parents and then tried to kill Harry too. What’s so
amazing to everyone is that Harry survived, and allegedly destroyed Voldemort
in the process.
When Harry hears all this, he doesn’t know what to think.
However, everything Hagrid tells him turns out to be true, and with a joyful
heart Harry starts wizarding school in September. He quickly becomes best
friends with a boy named Ron Weasley, and before they even make it to
Christmas, they break tons of school rules when they attack a troll and prevent
it from killing fellow student Hermione Granger. After the troll incident, the
three become inseparable, and Harry is amazed to have found such great friends.
He is constantly busy trying to stay on top of the mounds of homework, as well
as participating in weekly Quidditch practices. Quidditch is a popular sport
among wizards and Harry is the youngest Quidditch player in over a century.
It's also a game Harry loves more than anything else at school.
As the year progresses, the three friends set out to solve
the mystery of the gigantic three-headed dog that is guarding something in a
deserted corridor in the school. They figure out that a very valuable object,
the Sorcerer’s Stone, is being hidden in the school, although they don’t know
why. When one of the professors starts acting as if he’s trying to steal it,
they quickly take action to circumvent the theft.
Things come to a head when they sneak past the vicious,
three-headed dog and go down into the bowels of the school, determined to save
the stone. Ron and Hermione help Harry get through the challenges set forth to
stop the thief, but Harry must go on alone to battle the professor. When he
finally gets to the last room, however, he’s astonished to find someone else
entirely.
Harry is forced to do battle with the wizard that tried to
kill him so many years before, Lord Voldemort. He’s able to save the Sorcerer’s
Stone, although he’s almost killed in process. The school headmaster,
Dumbledore, arrives just in time to save Harry.
The school year ends spectacularly. Harry, Ron, and Hermione
are honored for their service to the school, and Harry leaves to go back to the
Dursley’s for the summer feeling as if he’s finally found a place where he
really belongs.
2)HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS
source : http://adam-wright.com/jobs/harry-potter-chamber-of-secrets/
It’s been another long summer at the Dursley’s for Harry
Potter. He can’t wait to get back to Hogwarts and is counting down the days
until he can return. He’s surprised when, on his birthday, a strange elfish
creature named Dobby shows up with dire warnings for Harry: He must not return
to Hogwarts!
When Harry refuses to stay home from school, Dobby lands him
in heaps of trouble with the Dursley’s, who lock Harry up in his room and
refuse to let him out. Before Harry can sink too far into despair, however, Ron
Weasley and his two brothers, twins Fred and George, come to his rescue in a
flying car and spirit him back to their house, where Harry is thrilled to spend
the remainder of the summer.
Thus starts an eventful second year for Harry Potter.
Between having to cope with more homework than ever, a Defense Against the Dark
Arts professor who is vain and convinced Harry is too, and a mysterious voice
he keeps hearing in the walls, Harry’s days are nothing if not interesting.
As the school year progresses, however, the mysterious voice
Harry keeps hearing is getting more and more menacing, and soon vicious attacks
start happening to the students of Hogwarts. When Harry discovers, quite by
accident, that he is a Parslemouth and can speak to snakes, he’s quickly
singled out as Slytherin’s heir, the person who, according to legend, will open
the mysterious “Chamber of Secrets” and release the monster within.
Of course Harry has no idea who is attacking the students,
but he quickly resolves to find out who is responsible. He, Ron, and Hermione
come up with an elaborate plan to disguise themselves as Slytherin students so
they can question Draco Malfoy, whom they believe is the one setting the
monster loose in the school. The plan goes perfectly, but they’re disappointed
when they find out from Draco that he is not the one they’re looking for.
The quest gets personal when Hermione is attacked and
petrified by the monster. Ron and Harry are devastated, and are left on their
own to uncover the true identity of the person responsible. Events come to a
head when Ron’s sister, Ginny, is kidnapped and taken down into the Chamber of
Secrets, and Ron and Harry discover an important clue that Hermione left for
them. They quickly head down into the Chamber of Secrets to rescue Ginny.
Harry and Ron get separated once they’re down there and
Harry is left to pursue the monster on his own. He quickly finds Ginny, and
thanks to some mysterious help from Dumbledore and his pet phoenix, Fawkes,
Harry is able to destroy Slytherin’s heir, who turns out to be a younger
version of Lord Voldemort. Voldemort had possessed Ginny through an enchanted
diary and was using her to set the monster loose on the students.
Harry and Ron are both hailed as heroes when they make it
back out with Ginny, and Harry can’t imagine a finer end to such an eventful
year when Hermione and the rest of the victims are healed and they win
Gryffindor loads of House points.
3)HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN
Harry starts off his third year at Hogwarts rather
eventfully when he inadvertently blows up his Aunt Marge, goes on the run, and
is then personally absolved by the Minister of Magic himself. He then learns
that mass murderer, Sirius Black, is intent on killing him, and Mr. Weasley
makes him promise a strange thing, that no matter what he hears he won’t go
looking for Black. Confused, Harry agrees.
As he heads back to school armed with this knowledge, he
learns that dementors, evil, soul-sucking creatures, have been stationed around
Hogwarts to protect the students from Black. The dementors affect Harry much
more than the other students because of his terrible past, and he quickly
resolves to learn to defend himself when he begins collapsing every time they
come near. He finds a willing teacher in Professor Lupin, the new Defense
Against the Dark Arts professor, who begins teaching Harry the Patronus Charm,
which is the only spell that will work against the foul creatures.
As the school year progresses, the third year students are
buried under piles of homework. Hermione is already stressed out due to her
enormous course load, and none of them can figure out how she’s getting to all
her classes. It doesn’t help that Hermione’s cat, Crookshanks, repeatedly tries
to eat Ron’s rat, Scabbers, causing the two friends to argue ceaselessly about
the animals. They stop speaking entirely when it’s discovered that Crookshanks
seems to have eaten Scabbers and Ron is devastated.
Harry has a few close calls with Black when he breaks into
the castle, but Black is not apprehended. Things come to a climax as the school
year ends when a number of events occur. First, Ron’s rat, Scabbers, turns out
to still be alive and is really a wizard in disguise. This wizard, Peter
Pettigrew, has chosen to hide himself in this way so that he can spy on Harry
and his friends on behalf of Lord Voldemort. Harry learns that it was Peter,
and not Sirius Black, that betrayed his parents to Voldemort. Just when Harry
is sure Peter is finally going to be punished for his crimes, he escapes into
the night.
Sirius, long thought to be a mass murderer and Voldemort
supporter, turns out to be innocent. Harry also learns that Sirius is his godfather.
He’s overjoyed when, for a moment, he thinks he might be finally free of the
Dursleys and able to live with Sirius, but Sirius has to go on the run from the
Ministry to avoid being apprehended.
Professor Lupin, Harry’s favorite teacher, ends up resigning
his post when it’s discovered that he’s a werewolf. He narrowly avoids
attacking the kids, and it’s Sirius that saves their lives when he turns into a
huge shaggy dog to protect them.
It’s an action-packed year to be sure, but Harry is very
happy that Sirius makes it out safely and is finally free from Azkaban. He’s
comforted by the fact that he finally has a family-member, so to speak, out
there watching over him
4)HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE
source : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysaeKkAD7gg
Harry can’t believe it. The Weasley’s have invited him to
the Quidditch World Cup, which means he’ll get to leave the Dursley’s house
early and go see a game that anyone would kill to see.
The game is intense, but not just because of the stellar
players and non-stop action. Voldemort’s servants, the Death Eaters, make an
appearance and the wizarding world is shocked when Voldemort’s sign appears in
the sky after the game.
When Harry, Ron, and Hermione finally make it back to
Hogwarts a few weeks later, they’re shocked to find that the school is the host
of the Triwizard Tournament this year. That's a competition between the three
wizarding schools of Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons. The goblet of fire
choses one champion for each school. There, they also learn, that there is an
new teacher for the subject Defence Against the Dark Arts. It´s Mad-Eye-Moody,
an ex-auror. When the students from the other schools arrive in October, the
students begin putting their name in the Goblet of Fire in order to be chosen
at Halloween as their school's champion. The champion of Hogwarts is Cedric
Diggory, the champion of Durmstrang is Victor Krum, a famous Quidditch-player
and the champion of Beauxbatons is Fleur Delacour. Harry is shocked beyond
belief when, in spite of his inability to compete because of his age, he’s
chosen as the fourth school champion.
What’s even worse is that Ron doesn’t believe that Harry
didn’t put his name in the goblet. They get into a huge fight, and Ron stops
talking to Harry. The rest of Hogwarts is also incensed that Harry is
"looking for more fame", and the only person who stands by Harry’s
side is Hermione.
In the tournament, the champions must steal a golden eye
from a dragon. Harry accomplish this task and the hazard of the fight against
the dragon convinces Ron, that Harry had always told the truth and he reconcile
with him.
As the school year progresses Harry is beset with troubles.
Snooping journalist, Rita Skeeter, continues to publish gossipy articles about
Harry that alienate him from the rest of the school, he’s turned down by his
crush, Cho Chang, when he asks her to the Yule Ball, and in the days leading up
to the second task of the tournament, which involves retrieving something
important from the bottom of a lake filled with mer-people, he almost doesn’t find
a way to accomplish what he’s got to do. Saved at the last minute, however,
Harry again gets almost full marks and is tied for first place.
Sirius returns to keep an eye on Harry, as well as the
mysterious happenings that keep taking place at Hogwarts. There is someone at
the school who wants Harry dead, but no one knows who it is.
In the final task of the tournament, the champions are in a
knot garden, they need to look for the Winner´s Cup. The plants which build the
maze caught Cedric,the other champion of Hogwarts, but Harry helps him. Harry
and Cedric decide to be jointly the winner, so they put their hands on the
winner´s cup, but in this moment they are transported to a graveyard where
Cedric is killed by Wormtrail. Harry witnessed Voldemort’s return to power, and
barely makes it back to Hogwarts alive, clutching Cedric’s body.
Back at Hogwarts, Professor Moody comforts him, but then
Harry discovers, that he is a traitor, who infiltrated Hogwarts in order of
Voldemort. He’s a Death Eater who transmuted his body with Polyjuice Potion.
Harry warns Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge about the
occurrence wit Voldemort, but only Dumbledore believes him. He starts to
arrange the defense for the return of the dark lord.
5)HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF PHOENIX
source : https://atgbcentral.com/harry-potter-wallpapers.htm
It's been another long, hot summer at the Dursleys' for
Harry Potter. Having spent most of it in an adolescent "funk" of
depression and bitterness over the lack of informative letters from his friends
about Voldemort's return, he's suddenly jolted out of his bad mood when two
Dementors show up in the town of Little Whinging and attack Harry and his
cousin, Dudley. When Harry uses magic to drive them off, however, he quickly
receives a succession of owls from the Ministry, requiring him to attend a
disciplinary hearing. His heart sinks when he reads that the question of
whether to expel him from Hogwarts will be decided at the hearing.
Harry is exonerated at the hearing but when Harry finally
manages to make it back to school, he finds things are different than when he
left. Hagrid's missing, there are skeletal horses pulling the school carriages
that only he can see, and the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is none
other than toadlike, repulsive Dolores Umbridge, a Ministry representative whom
Harry is all too familiar with.
Even worse is the constant mutterings of the other students.
Having spent all summer discrediting both Harry and Dumbledore, the Ministry
has succeeded in convincing everyone they're both crazy and that Voldemort's
return is nothing but a figment of their imagination.
With only Ron and Hermione standing by his side, Harry is
hard-pressed to stay in a good mood and often lashes out at the ones he is
closest to. His defiant behavior lands him in detention for weeks at a time
with Professor Umbridge, who soon rises to the status of Hogwarts High
Inquistor and revels in sacking teachers and keeping the entire school under
the control of her stubby, ugly-ringed fingers.
As the school year progresses Harry and Umbridge frequently
lock horns, and she retaliates by taking away everything he cares about:
Quidditch, letters from Sirius, and visits with Hagrid. So Harry fights back
the only way he can, by forming a secret defense group, known as Dumbledore's
Army, and teaching his friends how to fight properly.
In spite of the frantic workload in preparing for their OWLs
(tests that determine the student's future career choices), the tyranny of
Umbridge, and Harry's unbearable crush on Ravenclaw seeker, Cho Chang, Harry
keeps having tantalizing dreams of dark corridors and locked doors that are
distracting at best. His scar prickles constantly and he soon finds he's turned
into a tiny antenna for Voldemort's mood swings, which certainly doesn't help
his own temper.
Things take a disastrous turn when Dolores Umbridge finds
out about Harry's secret defense group. Harry is filled with guilt when
Dumbledore, claims credit for the group in order to protect Harry, and has to
flee the school to escape arrest.
This installment ends with an epic battle of good and evil,
resulting in a devastating loss to Harry when his godfather Sirius Black is
killed, and the full revelation that his destiny lies intertwined with none
other than Voldemort himself. In the end, Dumbledore reveals the lost prophecy
to Harry: either Harry will kill Lord Voldemort or Voldemort will kill Harry.
6) HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE
source : https://awol.junkee.com/wizards-brunch-sydney-tickets/57752
Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts opens to find him more mellow
and grown up than ever. The death of Sirius Black has left an indelible mark on
him, and he's more determined than ever to put an end to Voldemort and his
Death Eaters. He's happy to escape the tyranny of the Dursley's early in the
summer when Dumbledore picks him up to attend to a mysterious errand, which
ends up in Harry's persuading ex-professor, Horace Slughorn, to come out of
retirement to teach at Hogwarts again.
When the day finally arrives, Harry is as usual overjoyed to
be back at school. He's been made Quidditch Team Captain. However, Harry and
his friends are dismayed to find out that Professor Severus Snape has finally
achieved his burning desire to become Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Harry is excited to be taking private lessons with Dumbledore this year, who is
showing him all about Voldemort's past. Dumbledore hopes that knowing as much
as he can about Voldemort will help Harry in his final battle with the Dark
Lord.
A mysterious book previously owned by the Half-Blood Prince
comes into Harry's hands early on during his Potions class and changes the
course of his school year by giving him a reputation for Potions brilliance
that baffles everyone. Harry quickly grows to depend on the information he gets
from the Half-Blood Prince's book and uses some of his spells outside of class,
much to Hermione's displeasure.
Harry also keeps an increasingly close eye on Draco Malfoy.
Convinced that Malfoy has replaced his father as the head of the Death Eaters,
Harry believes Malfoy is constructing a dark plot inside the school but can't
for the life of him figure out what it is. Between Ron and Hermione's
skepticism, and Malfoy's disappearances from the school grounds, Harry has his
hands full trying to uncover what Malfoy's up to.
As the year speeds by, Harry and Ron are both amazed at
their blossoming love lives. Harry especially falls hard for someone he knows
he shouldn't, his best friend Ron's sister, Ginny. His lessons with Dumbledore
continue sporadically, and he's excited to hear that he might be able to go
with Dumbledore on a dangerous mission to help destroy a horcrux that contains
a part of Voldemort's soul.
Things reach a frantic pace when several things happen all
at once. Harry and Dumbledore leave on their mission, Malfoy's dark plot
finally works and he is able to sneak in Death Eaters to attack the school, and
a fierce battle takes place between the students, members of the Order of the
Phoenix, and the Death Eaters. Having succeeded in their mission to recover the
horcrux, Harry and Dumbledore return only to get trapped on the Astronomy Tower
where, to Harry's dismay, Professor Snape kills Dumbledore.
Dumbledore's death is a terrible blow to Harry, but it
enables him to see clearly what his true mission is. He resolves that he will
not return to Hogwarts, but instead sets off to destroy the remaining fragments
of Voldemort's soul. He is bolstered by Ron and Hermione's insistence on going
with him, and as soon as Dumbledore's funeral is over, they agree to start
their journey together.
7)HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS
source : https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-Deathly-Hallows-Valdemort/dp/B0058DHXIQ
Harry has finally come of age, and finally started on his
final journey to defeat Voldemort for good. The Dursely’s are forced to go into
hiding so that Voldemort’s Death Eaters will not torture them for information,
and Harry sets off with Ron and Hermione on a difficult quest to find and
destroy the last of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Only once those have been destroyed,
Harry knows, can Voldemort truly be killed.
It’s not easy. Harry is plagued with rumors of Dumbledore’s
past, and begins to wonder if the Headmaster he so long revered might have had
a much darker past than he ever let on. The three are frequently without food,
and with winter coming their journey is no day at the beach. Because of their
lack of plan, lack of food, and lack of progress, their spirits are often low,
and Ron especially becomes argumentative. One night he and Harry get into an
epic fight and Ron leaves to go back home.
Harry and Hermione are devastated that he’d abandoned them.
They finally decide to revisit Godric’s Hollow in search of clues, and once
again they’re almost caught by Voldemort. Every step they make, it seems, he is
there anticipating them. They’ve almost died too many times to count, and their
spirits sink even lower when Harry discovers his wand was broken in the battle.
Ron redeems himself a few weeks later by coming back and
saving Harry’s life in the nick of time. They manage to destroy another Horcrux
with Gryffindor’s sword, and they become excited again as they begin to learn
about a mysterious trio of magical objects called the Deathly Hallows. Whomever
possesses the three objects will be a master of death, and to Harry, it’s his
one chance to beat Voldemort and live to tell the tale.
As his adventures and the danger he’s in increases, Harry
begins to truly understand what Dumbledore intended him to do. He realizes,
almost at the last minute, that his own life will have to be sacrificed in
order for Voldemort to truly be vanquished. Filled with love for his friends,
he willingly gives his life so that they may live.
His last act of heroism, however, saves his life. He meets
Dumbledore again in death, and Dumbledore answers many of his questions. He is
given a choice to stay or to go back, and he chooses to go back and fight.
It’s all over between Harry and Voldemort with just one
spell. Harry is left alive, the true master of the Hallows, and Voldemort is
killed for good. He now understands more than he ever has about love (which he
loves Ginny), and life, and sacrifice, and in spite of the loss of many of his
friends during the last battle, is grateful for the second chance he’s been
given at life, and love.
